Hi Mich Girl,

I am sorry to hear what happened to you and that you are still having problems.

You should definitely get checked out.

I think that Vini is totally right that you should have your ears and balance checked out. There are quite specific problems related to the inner ear that need a specialist to diagnose them.

I have had some balance problems following a blow to the head and my ears have been checked by squirting hot water in one ear and not the other and watching the effect that it has on your eyes. It's weird but the guys doing the tests seem to know what they are doing.

There are specialist ENT (Ears nose and throat) doctors in the UK. I don't know what they are called in the US but they must exist and you should see one. It might be something that could be treated.

However, you may have more than one type of damage. You could have the sort of post-concussion symptoms that a lot of us on this forum are getting even though there is nothing wrong with our ears. So you should see a sympathetic neurologist also, preferably one who specializes in concussions or mTBI. If you can find such a person.

That's why the title if this post is Ears +. You should check out your ears but not only your ears. You should check out your ears plus the rest of your neurology.

You will also find help on the web, including this site, on post-concussion symptoms, so definitely check that out also.

Good luck.
