Zeroburn,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Oddly, excessive sleep is not a good thing. Extra sleep should be limited to the first 48 hours. After that, it is best for recovery for normal sleep patterns to be kept. Daily activities should be low stress but active enough to encourage good blood flow to the brain.

You posted "I can go for walks, watch TV with symptoms getting any worse." Did you meant to say 'without symptoms getting worse'?

Struggles with multiple sounds like multiple voices is common. The PCS brain tries to track each voice and overloads. The non-PCS brain can ignore those other voices. Many use ear plugs to reduce the background sounds/voices. Mack's makes a good foam earplug.

It is rare but some experience a disruption in the sinuses and ear canals that is not vestibular/balance. An ENT may have some ideas. The CT Scan may be worth a read by the ENT. Just a question worth asking.

Do you have any idea why you fainted ? Sometimes, the reason for the fainting is still an issue.

Many suffer an upper neck injury with the concussion. There may be not pain or stiffness but still inflammation that can cause symptoms. Concussive forces often include a whiplash movement.

Icing the head and neck can be worthwhile and OTC anti-inflammatory meds can be worthwhile. There is a recipe for home made crushable ice packs in the Vitamins sticky at the top.

Feel free to ask or tell us anything. We have heard it all.

My best to you.
