I think this is an important therapy area for people with brain injury. My audiologist had suggested it was a good idea to take piano lessons or guitar to help with auditory processing disorder as a result of brain injury. And music heals the soul.
I am now at a stage where I can listen to a bit of music once in a while (and i do mean a bit!) and remember the joy there was in that. Am hopeful if I keep working at it, music will cease to be noise and once again give me pleasure. https://www.rcmusic.ca/sites/default...onBenefits.pdf M

What happened: Legs pulled forward by a parent's hockey stick while resting at the side of the rink at a family skate....sent me straight back. I hit the back of my head (with helmet) on the ice, bounced a few times, unconscious for a few minutes. September 11, 2011. Off work since then…I work part-time at home when I can. It has been hell but slowly feeling better (when I am alone☺). Current symptoms: Vision problems (but 20/20 in each eye alone!) – convergence insufficiency – horizontal and vertical (heterophoria), problems with tracking and saccades, peripheral vision problems, eyes see different colour tints; tinnitus 24/7 both ears; hyperacusis (noise filter gone!), labyrinthian (inner ear) concussion, vestibular dysfunction (dizzy, bedspins, need to look down when walking); partial loss of sense of smell; electric shocks through head when doing too much; headaches; emotional lability; memory blanks; difficulty concentrating. I still can’t go into busy, noisy places. Fatigue. Executive functioning was affected – multi-tasking, planning, motivation. Slight aphasia. Shooting pain up neck and limited mobility at neck. Otherwise lucky! Current treatments: Vestibular therapy, Vision therapy, amantadine (100 mg a day), acupuncture and physiotherapy for neck, slow return to exercise, magnesium, resveratrol, omega 3 fish oils, vitamins D, B and multi. Optimism and perserverance. |

Sorry to hear about your accident. I think it's great you have found music as an outlet and a also as a healing mechanism for your head trauma issues. A life of music can be colorful and ads meaning. Best of luck on your journey!
