Concussion symptom: tinnitus
I've posted about tinnitus before, but thought I would ask around again, as it seems to be a relatively rare symptom. Basically, I've been improving but my two main remaining symptoms are (1) headaches (gradually getting better), and (2) tinnitus (mainly in my left ear).
The tinnitus actually started about two weeks after my head injury, and was brought on (I believe) by overexertion - I think my hoisting my 45-lb nephew a few times may have been the main cause. In any case, that was four months ago, and this symptom is still hanging around. For a while it seemed to be gradually getting better, but it has flared up again in recent days. My questions are:
- Has anyone else had this symptom following an MTBI?
- What is the likelihood that it will improve over time? (Or should I just start learning to ignore it?)
- Has anyone tried TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy), or any other therapies that have helped with this symptom?
Any comments would be appreciated...
