For auditory vestibular rehab doesn't help for me since I think it is coming from sound (not noise). Any normal day to day sound - street noise, fridge, people talking, my own voice etc., making me more dizzy.
Each specialist has their own diagnosis. To give a few : Meniere's disease, anxiety (which I understand), Post Traumatic Vision Syndrome, depression (disagree) etc.,
If I lie down in a quiet place it helps too. Have you checked for POTS? That is another test my doc wanted to do. I am tired of all these tests and no relief. What is the point?
My hearing is ok based on the test. Ringing in ears fluctuates constantly throughout the day. My head is always full like carrying a cinderblock.
I still go to doctors some times (but with no expectations).
After Vision Therapy planning to go back for Neurofeedback again. One thing I forgot to mention is Meditation (transcendental meditation) helps to calm my brain waves. I have been doing on and off and lately I see some benefit. Now I do twice a day (20 minutes each session)

Just wanted to say thanks for saying your head feels like you are carrying a cinderblock. This is the exact way i describe my everyday head pain and pressure. Funny how we all use very similar ways of describing our experiences. A friend of mine talked about how he got better from his TBI and he felt like he came out of the big cloud over him. I got so giddy and excited because i called it "my fog".

Suffered a TBI with PCS on April 25th 2011 from multiple blows to the head from falling, unconscious for 12 hours with no memory of event. Hit the back of my head, and above right eye. MRI and CT negative. Symptoms included constant headaches (migraine, pressure, tension, icepicks), dizziness, tinnitus, visual changes, photophobia, fatigue, "spacing out", word finding difficulties, depression, and emotional lability.
Began Healing in November 2011 after starting acupuncture and Healing Touch (a nurturing energy therapy that promotes relaxation and pain relief). I went back to work in February 2012. Ive been symptom free since July 2012. Very happy, positive, energetic and working out every day, doing yoga, and living a normal life again!
I also began taking Healing Touch classes in November 2011 and completed 5 Levels of Healing Touch Certificate Program that included a 1 year mentorship to become a Healing Touch International Practitioner in June 2013. I am so pleased to offer this wonderful healing therapy to my patients, friends, and clients.
