Interesting question.
One thing that I consider is that I can't say for certain what I really felt like before my TBI. There are about 5 weeks I don't remember anything, and human memory is subjective and continuously influenced by new events and stimuli. All I can say is the way I am today is the "new normal". I'm fortunate in that I am able to work and move forward with my life. The occasional vertigo and other obvious symptoms are things that I just have to deal with. My emotional state varies, and I have no objective comparison to the way that was before.
