Unless there is an inflammation of some kind that needs to be treated, you probably just need time with less stimulation. Have you had any upper neck therapy ? The upper neck can get injured but not be directly symptomatic. It can cause inflammation in the brain stem with reductions in vertebral blood flow, etc.
Check out the sticky at the top called Vitamins and Supplements. The injured brain needs good nutrition to handle the stresses of healing.
What other symptoms are you having ?
Have you had a Neuro Psychological Assessment ? They can identify you cognitive dysfunctions with an NPA.
btw, I just had a glass of water with my morning supplements so my ears are ringing like a bell. If I ignore it, it does not bother me. If I get stuck listening to the tinnitus, it takes over all sound I hear.
My best to you.

Thanks for the response and the welcome.
I had 2 months vestibular and speech therapy which concluded when I returned to work. I had a test with a speech therapist which I belive was an NPA.
It's mostly quiet in the office where I work, and that's where my problem is. I try and tune out my T, but when there is no other noise it makes it harder. Not allowed to have a radio and when I asked my boss, he says I have to prove I have the Tinnutus. Which is why I'm seeing an ENT.
Running inventory, placing shipping orders etc been difficult with my concentration problems while I hear the noise. I'm having problems stumbling over words, but has improved a lot since my accident.
