I mean I understand it's nearly impossible to tell this but have you heard or know of any people whose tinnitus have gone away after whatever amount of time after a concussion? Please note that I am specifically talking about concussion indices tinnitus. And going away means completely gone and if not that has it lessened for them and if yes to what extent? This will be interesting to know
I know it's one of those stubborn symptoms and even professionals are skeptical about it most of the times. My ENT and a renowned neuro clearly told me it may never go away but docs can be wrong sometimes and miracles do happen everyday  mine comes and goes so I would assume that I have some sort of neurological damage rather than any damage to my ears as they are able to function perfectly when it's not there.
Please share any knowledge/stories you know about TBI induced tinnitus |
I had tinnitus appear as a symptom weeks after receiving my last concussion. It was occasional at first, then became more frequent and long-lasting. If I remember correctly the last time I heard it was likely almost a year post-concussion. I think I've heard it once or twice since then, and not for long. So it is possible for it to go away in my experience. It's good to have a bit of hope, but I think the advice to focus on the symptoms you can improve through diet, treatments, therapies, etc. is where you should try to focus your energies. I found through treating other symptoms, the tinnitus eventually went away, albeit it took a long time.
