Hi Kev-

In your case with fluids leaking out it could be Hydrops. Do you have balance issues? Another thought is perilymph fistula if you experience dizziness.

Regardless get to an ENT and ask them for a standard hearing test AND otoacoustic emissions.

You'll quickly get to the root of your tinnitus.

I actually had excellent hearing before incident. Could hear people whispering in the other room with a tv on. Was actually scary good how I could filter sounds as well. Now noises of certain pitches, or mechanical/repetitive in nature overstimulate the crap out of me.

Im hoping that maybe someone can correlate the fluid that leaked a lot out of my ears in the first few weeks and even occasionally now, with the tinnitus and hearing issues.

Tinnitus is a very common symptom after a TBI.

Even though people say it might never go away, it might greatly reduce in intensity and after recovering more and more you should notice the Tinnitus less and less. Just be patient.

Thanks,
