Mark, no I ask to not have my hair washed for that exact reason, I think I've read one of your posts pointing that out on here and ask not to do it.

My neck has substantially improved in the past 6 months after starting AO chiro treatments and PT.

Ever since my injury I've been very sensitive to any kind of vibration or bumping. When I do get a haircut I can feel the vibration kinda rattle inside my head and it's very unpleasant.
Even my voice changed over time and it's not as deep. Every time I tried to speak normal the vibration of my own voice was very unpleasant (this has been getting better lately).

Most doctors tell me it's my anxiety, the PT thinks it's in my neck.

I really do hope it's my neck since it's easier to fix than a middle ear problem or brainstem damage.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months.
March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again.
Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before.
June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback.
November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback.
2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring.
Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far.
June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement.
September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear.
November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing).
January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work.

Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens.
