Hello everyone - My daughter was in a car accident almost 5 years ago. Four years ago, after many visits to doctors, she was finally diagnosed with a mild to moderate tbi. We have spent these past years doing whatever needed to be done. At this point, we are dealing with many, many endocrine issues as a result of the tbi. She has mentioned to most of the doctors she has seen about this fluid that comes from her ear. It used to be more red/clear and now it is pink/clear. She has also asked almost from the very beginning about this "crackling noise" that she feels is coming from the back of her head. Has anyone hear heard that noise? Has anyone here had the ear leak? We were told to see a neuro-ent. Waste of time, he prescribed flonase and told her that csf was only nose. Also, if anyone knows of a doctor WHO WILL LISTEN in the New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts area I would most definately appreciate the help.
