I'm so happy I found this thread.

I was involved in a high speed car accident a couple years back. Since I came to, I've had ringing in my ears, a full feeling that leads to intermittent deafness that can last from a few seconds to a few days (luckily, so far, it's only hit one ear at a time) and worst of all I get these stabbing pains several times an hour. It's like being stabbed in the ear by an ice pick. When I told my neurologist, he shrugged and dismissed my complaint with "that's unusual." Clearly he thought I was making it up.

From reading these posts, I can see that my problem could have a number of causes. First off, there's my diffuse axonal brain injury. Secondly, there's my severe whiplash. Finally, the accident damaged my jaw (TMJ) and causes me to clench in pain.

While I'm not pleased that any of you are suffering, I'm somewhat comforted that I'm not alone - or crazy.

Cheers
