Default My therapist wants me to have my hearing tested

So the long-lasting effect from my events has been increased sensitivity to noise. It actually got better for a bit, say in Jan and Feb but then it came back with a vengeance to the point where I talked to my therapist again about the anxiety/panic that results from the noise. She brought up an interesting point, that March was the one year anniversary of my first TBI and I probably subconsciously was thinking and stressing about that, a viewpoint which I think has a lot of merit (especially knowing my propensity to brood).

But she also thinks it would be interesting to get my hearing checked and see what range I have. I guess basically to figure out if I knocked myself into a higher level of hearing, to put it bluntly. I haven't had a test since I was a little kid and, as far as I know, everything was normal back then. Certainly nothing superhuman lol. But I guess she wants me to find out if my sensitivity is at a higher level now. For example I have a hard time filtering out chatter. Is there a reason for that? It seems unlikely to me but I guess I need to rile everything out.

Anyway my question is has anyone else done this?

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
