welcome
Hi Heatherr,
I also have tinitis (that ringing) in my ears. I can't always hear it, but I know it's louder when I am more tired or have been doing something more stressful (maybe even laughing)
Once in awhile my tin tin ear, the left one that has it most, gets louder than the right ear. As I wrote this, I realized I got my concussion on my left side of my head too.
I think when my tinintis is loud -- my brain is telling me something. Probably that it is TIRED and needs rest and I need to GIVE in.
It sounds like you do a lot of very physical activity which might still aggravate your healing brain.
I don't know if this helps.
Sincerely,
pm

[SIZE="1"]What happened. I was in a car accident 2-23-2013, and got a mild concussion from it. I had some time off for brain rest, got somewhat better, but slipped into PCS in March 2013.
Symptoms I had: dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, tinitis, occasional headaches and migraines,
Symptoms as of 5--2013: poor sleep, tinitis, some confusion /short term memory blanks, balance. The other symptoms are mostly gone, but flare up if I OVERdo something.
Therapy I had: vestibular
3 months in: I could drive more and for longer distances. I felt like a younger, happier version of myself and I feel so blessed to have this feeling.
9 months in and I am working full time. I do get tired, and some sound and light sensitivity from time to time, but mostly I am over most of my symptoms.
I pray every day and I m praying for your recovery.
Over a year in: I can multi task (limited) and have humor in my life. But when I am tired, I am very tired.
