Hey, same here! I also have tinnitus with weird pressure changes. You're not alone. It's true that chances are high it would fade. But only time can tell. My eardoctor said the same.

Also like the others said, check if you don't have neck issues. I recently found out that the tinnitus for me was a result of a neck injury and not just the concussion itself.

Also anxiety makes tinnitis worse so its good you can relax

Okay, we will do this together!! How long have you had it for? I try to mask it so i dont try to look for the sound. Recently bought sleepphones which help.

Hey Lula,

Any progress? Sorry for the late answer. I didnt saw that you had replied. Well i got tinnitus the day of my concussion which was mild at first. Than 2 months later severe. Now 3 months later moderate. Like pcs, you can not put a date on when it will dissapear. Only that we have a chance for it to go away. I know this can be dissapointing, but dont despair. I know of 2 people who got it from concussion. For 1 it went away after 5 months. For the other it didnt but became much better 1 year and it doesnt bother him anymore.

I tried ginko but it didnt help for me. It helps for some. I'm glad you feel benefits i don't believe ginko is bad for concussion recovery, because it stimulates blood flow. But always ask a doctor before trusting someone on the internet like me

Some tips that helped for me: try to think of it as less as you can. I know this is very difficult. At first i felt horrible. I could hear it over te tv, radio, etc. I couldn't concentrate at anything. But when i started forcing my focus on external things, the more i would forget about it. And eventually i mostly only think of it when someone asked me how my tinnitus was. It's like i sometimes forget i can hear it.

Secondly: relax. Stress makes it so much worse, even if it's somatic tinnitus like i have. Watch some comedy, talk about fun things with someone, take a hot shower. It will take your mind of it. If i stress, then it becomes louder. Also lack of sleep makes it worse, but i know sleeping is very difficult for most of us with pcs.

The last thing that helped me was listening to music at a level where i could still hear the tinnitus, but i was distracted enough to not feel bad about it. It made me get used to the noise much faster then trying to escape from it.

Hope it helps. And who knows maybe you dont need these tips, because it already had dissapeared
