With Mark says the best thing to do it is try to ignore Tinnitus after a MBTI.
That said I have seen my fair share of ENT's here in NYC. Not to give you promising advice however 1 patient had hearing loss and horrible Tinnitus the first 6 months and fully recovered a year later. His hearing returned to normal and Tinnitus vanished. A rare yet true story.
Another well documented case as screen write Tom Sadyak who directed Liar Liar. His Tinnitus passéd around the 6 month mark as did NY Rangers All-Star Mark Staal at the 10 month mark. I think a good hall mark might be the 1 year mark. After then recovery is relatively unlikely or so i'm told.
A good start is to visit an ENT and document your hearing levels. I would STRONGLY recommend an Otoacoustic emissions test which measures your inner/outer hair cells. Tinnitus is usually directly correlated to damaged hair cells from the impact to your head.
As far as my own experience, i'm nearly 5 months post concussion and my Tinnitus is not as noticeable as it was in the beginning. The first 3 months can be awful.
Hope this information is of value. Best thing however is to try and not focus on it. Much easier said than done.
