...tells me there is nothing he can do and brushes me off. Fast forward to early April, I have been taking brisk walks regularly for concussion recovery, and the ringing from inside my head has lessened greatly (it comes up every now and then for shorter periods of time), but what I am left...

...I experienced vertigo, and a day after that extreme tinnitus in my right ear with some hearing loss. I was diagnosed with labyrinthine concussion... still in acute phase. Now getting ringing in my left ear as well. I've done the whole MRI and neurologist stuff. Seeing an ENT in 2 weeks. After...

Hi! I'm new here s0 I thought I'd make this thread for those who have developed Tinnitus from a concussion or head injury and hopefully see some success stories too :) I suffered a mild concussion on April 19th when I hit the back of my head while out with friends. My ears started ringing a few...

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my story because I'm quite desperate. About 2.5 months ago I got a severe concussion, which resulted in post concussion syndrome (PCS). Immediately after the bump to my head I got this static noise in my ear. The first month it was quite bearable and I would...

Passed out, hit the back of my head on a hard floor in the hospital of all places. CT scan was good. Doctor didn't mention anything about concussion. Pretty sure I got one though. Tinnitus and TMJ ever since the fall. I want to hear success stories for people that have had tinnitus from...

Hi folks. I'm new here. I'm an older guy who is active - hike, ski, bike, kayak, etc. Several years back, I wrecked my bike by crashing into a tree. I hit it hard. Newton penned that the tree hit back equally hard. Even though I had on a helmet and did NOT hit my head, my entire body stopped...

Hi, I recently had a mild concussion in December 2018 and after about 4 days the ringing started. I’ve been to several doctors and an ENT, who found no hearing loss or earwax etc. It has been about 2 months, and it seems to have faded from the onset. I was wondering if anyone has contracted...

...from noise exposure, but wondering if and how anyone has managed tinniy from a head injury? I was in an accident in March, probably got a concussion, and about 1-2 months later, developed tinnitus. First, it was a slight and subtle high frequency sound able to be ignored during the day, but...

...to this site an wondered if anyone can help. My tinnitus started the day after a head injury which left me with 6 staples in my head and concussion. I've been suffering from vertigo and low frequency tinnitus for about 8 months now and it's driving me crazy. Audiology have been great and I'm...

...dime. Drove myself to the ER for stitches, however due to the force of the impact and the location on my head, I was concerned I had a concussion. The doctor didn't check and immediately dismissed my concern (for context, I was in and out of the clinic in less than 3 minutes). One week...

Has anyone heard of concussion like symptoms after loud noise. I got my tinnitus from loud gun firing, but I have additional symptoms that are more like concussion. I have pressure on back of my head, headache that start in the back and may go to the front of the head. Sometimes I also get...

Hi Dr. Nagler, I suffered from a concussion on 2/20/2020. I did not experience any ringing in my ears after that, but had other concussion symptoms. I then made the ill-advised decision to go to a friend’s concert on 2/22/2020. The concert was extremely loud and I ended up directly in front of...

...of the trauma. I was totally freaked out for the first 2 weeks and had also developed light and sound sensitivity along with some post concussion symptoms which seems to be gradually subsiding and I feel near normal now; except for this T thing which still lingers every now and then. I had...

Hi, I suffered concussion #13 almost 6 weeks ago, and already have been diagnosed with post concussion syndrome due to the number and close proximity of my head injuries. Some from car accidents, some from falls, and some from just walking into things because my depth perception is horrible...

Hi all, I’m no newcomer to tinnitus. I got a concussion in June 2019, and for 2 months had raging high pitched tinnitus. It faded in time. Now I injured myself in a similar way, and it’s back. Here to see if anyone’s had a similar experience, and how that turned out.

Hello, About a week ago I got a minor concussion from baseball (very minor), and ever since then my tinnitus has increased a ton, especially after I work out it spikes like crazy and doesn't go down, my t hardly used to spike after workouts before, now after jogging it absolutely skyrocket. So...

Hi all, I was diagnosed with tinnitus in August 2020 following an episode of severe depression which resulted in me suffering a concussion injury. It's a high pitched sound, in both ears and has been constant since the event. In addition to this I've also started hearing like a 'whooshing'...

...and its the worst when i try to sleep. Does anyone have experience with their tinnitus coming and going? I think I got my tinnitus from a concussion i suffered a few months ago. Has anyone had tinnitus from a concussion as well? If so, I would love to hear your story. My lack of sleep is...

I got a concussion 6/19 and it started my tinnitus a week later. It faded after about 2 months, to a very manageable level. I just got another concussion and 2 days later, it returned. I wasn’t thinking or anxious about it returning and wasn’t particularly stressed out, but it’s come back as...

...attack yesterday at work. My tinnitus started while working, when I fell on some black ice, hit my head and was diagnosed with a mild concussion. I have the Phonak hearing aids to help mask the ringing. I have had a really hard time adjusting - I know it's been almost 3 years. Does it get...

Sounds very, very familiar. Same time frame even (minus the concussion.) Stay strong. Endurance is everything.

Previously had intermittent tinnitus prior to concussion, now constant, bilateral.

It's now year three. Every December I think about how it turned on after a mild concussion. I saw my ENT a few times this year just in case anything new may come to light. My ears and hearing are fine they say. My hearing test when I first got the tinnitus three years ago showed mild hearing...

Seeing that Spider-Man 2 has a frequency reduction option reminded me that Modern Warfare II also has an option for turning off tinnitus from flash bangs and concussion grenades.

...also hit the concrete with a thump. Fortunately there were no fractures and i was not (to my knowledge) knocked unconscious however I have had uni-lateral tinnitus in my right ear since. I'm curious if anyone else on this board has gotten tinnitus from an accident/fall or concussion? Thanks.

TL;DR: Had tinnitus because of loud noise insult 7 months ago, yesterday got concussion, ringing has increased since. Wondering if anyone has had this and will it go away. Will the ringing in general go away, since it’s been with me for 7 months? I could only find existing threads where either...

...I remembered that eight years ago I already had a head trauma when I landed with my snowboard on the back of my head where I got a mild concussion and tinnitus for maybe one night. Since then I had all the normal examinations and some physiotherapy. Is there anything I am missing or...

Hi all, I suffered a severe concussion from falling down 20 steps at work caused by a loose handrail. One of my many medical problems is severe bilateral tinnitus. I have went to many doctors including 3 different ENT’s. Basically the tinnitus was caused by the head trauma and usually if the...

I suffered a severe concussion 10 weeks ago during a fall. Initially I had constant ringing in my right ear (unilateral tinnitus) which is now more of rhythmic pulsatile tinnitus. It is also reactive and can increase with certain sounds. I guess it's one of the symptoms of post concussion...

...story: I was rear ended October 26 and 10 days later my ears start ringing. After doing tons of research, I think I have post traumatic concussion syndrome (it's typical for symptoms to show up 1 or 2 weeks after trauma). X-rays showed no damage to neck and tinnitus is not affected when I...

Hi - I experienced a bad concussion in July 2019, which has changed my life for the worse. As of today, it's been 7 months of "hell", involving constant, daily dizziness, screen dizziness, bad stomach, balance and bad tinnitus. My tinnitus was there before, but is now much worse after the...

If only it were that simple!

I'm happy I've made it through 31 years after a car accident and nasty concussion (are any concussions NOT nasty?). Still, after so many years, I have my good days and my bad days. I use a noise machine to sleep, waking hours are still a challenge but there is no better drug than a specialist...

Hi, I suffered from a concussion in 2/20. I did not have any ringing in my ears at that time. I then went to a concert on 2/22. I was directly next to an extremely loud speaker. The roaring in my ears after the concert and the next day was unbearable. I went to a few workout classes last week...

...;) Silly. I didn't even think about 15mins later, but after few hours, when a headache appeared, I went to A&E and was told that I have a concussion. Tinnitus vanished my ability to cope with stress. Anyone feels the same? My anxiety is absolutely bananas. I'm so afraid of my tinnitus...

Hi guys, my name is Dani. I'll give the story of how my tinnitus started. I got bullied in high school 10 years ago and suffered a concussion hitting my head against a locker. I started to get ear spasm and dizziness. I was terrified on what is happening. I went to the family doctor, they...

...were now distorted. Live orchestral music became irritating. In December 2021, I caught COVID-19, and shortly after, I suffered a severe concussion from slipping on ice and landing face-first on the pavement. There was no brain bleed, but I could tell something wasn’t right, and I believe...

...thought that was the price I paid for rock concerts in my younger days. Then last May 16th, I was knocked unconscious which resulted in a concussion. The tones in my head have gotten progressively worse since then. The tones are several different octaves. Last night a piece of metal was...

I got full blown tinnitus in September 2013, so for 3 months now. It began with a bicycle accident and concussion and whiplash and fractured facial bones. I have been a lurker and not a member for some time now and it worries me that I don't see anyone in my category of causation. My tinnitus...

...remains. I’m convinced, in my case, that it’s something in the brain. They say there’s a kind of filter in our brain, and I think the concussion might have stopped that filter. Life goes on, but it’s just different, you know? The world is a constant high-pitched screech. It could be worse, I...

I got COVID after concussion. What next. My tinnitus is really weird at the moment and COVID has definitely made me more sensitive to sound

Concussion causes neuroinflammation = disrupts Potassium channels, gabya receptors, and hormonal balance.

...getting my eyes checked just to be safe, but it all started with my hyperacusis, so I think it's related. Though the light sensitivity could also be because we're indoors so much these days. I read a comment where someone said a doctor mentioned that it's like a mild TBI/concussion. Crazy stuff!

I have joined this forum because I have tinnitus caused by concussion. I had a mental breakdown and began punching myself in the head repeatedly. I must have punched myself a few dozen times over the course of a few days. My mom called the cops and I was ultimately admitted to a psychiatric...

...lifestyle changes). Drugs are the easy route, but all too often, can be quite disastrous. I feel I speak from experience. I had a serious concussion as a teenager that left me with serious post-concussion brain issues of all kinds, from ADHD type symptoms, to anxiety, to depression, to...

haven't been on here since I had a concussion and couldn't look at screens very much. any medical miracles that I should know about?

...back when I only had mild tinnitus and I noticed no difference in tinnitus. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me (I have weird post-concussion migraine) but was a near cure for my mom's migraines! If you're really worried, there's oral anti-CGRP drugs like Nurtec, Ubrelvy, or Qulipta with...

My vision is already bad enough I can't drive. Have PCS from concussion, all of the visual and cognitive effects. Now h and t.

Gman, I'm new here. I recently experienced a fall which resulted in a concussion diagnosis. Never really hit my head, but the force of the fall produced a labyrinthine concussion. In the middle of tests and specialist visits. I can relate to a lot of what you're saying.

I get what you're saying, and I agree it should be a last resort. I just think we should be careful not to generalise and scare people off meds completely. Some credit meds with saving their life. It's a fine balance between education and instilling fear.

Were you able to pinpoint anything that worsened or improved your eye symptoms? Any medications? Are you still looking into potassium channel openers as a treatment despite eye issues?

@dellwas You had said this and tinnitus with concussion often does go away. I would credit this to improving issues and your concussion doc. I had also mentioned to you to see a concussion doctor when you first posted. "Concussion Doc is very confident the T. will completely go away, or at a...

Kavadog - asking you because you had concussion tinnitus like me. I have a low drone that is felt more than heard. Did you ever have that? What's odd for me since the beginning of all this is the concussion was the likely trigger, but I swear my ears feel always clogged like ETD or something.

@Exit, that's interesting. I find it so odd how a concussion affects hearing. Particularly a mild concussion like mine. I would have thought nothing of it really if it weren't for the hearing issues it triggered. The strange thing to me Is the ringing did not start until a week after the blow to...

...time likely due to hearing loss from working in a factory and not using earplugs like he should have. Mine started overnight following a concussion. It baffles me why mine Is so tough on quality of life while his is not so much. I have known others with gradual onset tinnitus that seem...

@dellwas I was one of the first that responded to you with your post concussion and we had good conversation. It's been mentioned that post concussion of six months or less, will most likely fade. I provided you with a link that included this - copied. Noise sensitivity and tinnitus after...

@Gabri I see that you got a MRI post concussion. A MRI or CT would show any serious problems caused by a concussion and you said your MRI results were good. One thing that you need is rest and more rest. Within this link click onto CDC guidelines...

@lordterrin Please have your wife see a concussion trained physician. I would not hesitate as many treatments are available. Limited use: cell phone, iPad, iPhone, computer, or TV) NO strenuous activities or physical exercise. NO driving. Limited reading, writing, homework, or studying...
