@Greg Sacramento I owe you a big apology for not reading and reflecting on the post you made here, on june the 9'th. I'm very sorry i have not responded to this. I just read up on this and EVERYTHING falls into place. When i googled "vascular concussion" i got this site as result...

I still have some noises increase/decrease based on posture, and often one comes from bowing my head to look down (this disappears eventually as I keep my head up again). My neck also crackles with nearly any motion - turning my head causes noise especially when I look to the right. Nodding...

To the best of my knowledge the "rules" for tinnitus's fading are the same for tinnitus associated with head injury as they are for noise-induced tinnitus. Seems to me that the fact that you are doing so much better now than in the first three months is a very good sign indeed. Dr. Stephen Nagler

@Wheella Unilateral and when turning head to left side can indicate either the internal jugular or the vertebral artery. The carotid artery may not cause unilateral sounds as that is usually only heard on opposite side. I doubt that it's a major compression >50% of your internal jugular from...

I am with @aot, you should go and let a doctor have a look at you, Shera. A head crack is serious, especially considering this is your second injury. :huganimation:

@KDMG, here’s another paper on neurectomy for otalgia: Endoscopic tympanic neurectomy for otic neuralgia—a case series As far as noxacusis relation to other nerves in the body Norena et al state: “We believe that our model proposes a synthetic and explanatory framework to explain the...

...over time, so hopefully, your reactive tinnitus will disappear, too. In my years on Tinnitus Talk, I came across a member who suffered a head injury in a fall while helping his fiancee move. It bothered him so much that he was suicidal. Worse, his fiancée was so taken aback by his abnormal...

I probably misunderstood that. My bad.

@Tweaker How did you get your tinnitus, if you do not mind me asking. Acoustic trauma/noise exposure/hearing loss or head/neck/neck/TMJ injury, or another cause?

Also with head injury induced T there is no conclusive opinion whether it is permanent or temporary. Many athletes had Tinnitus that went away after 6-12 months.

...to yourself. Clench teeth on one side. Mouth and teeth soreness on one side. Injury to the jaw or joints, injury to muscles in neck. Head injury - whiplash. Something is off balance, so when you lay down either pressure or gravity will increase. Laying on the unbalanced side will cause...

Great recommendations from IB9. Prednisone is the first line of treatment for an acoustic injury like yours. I would definitely give that a go and I have heard positive things about NAC as well. I would also add, don't listen to people telling you that it won't ever go away. Maintain some...

Fuck Prednisone. I took it for 14 days following a work injury I had in my left ear. I’ve since been 3 weeks off the Prednisone and I’m experiencing the worst (possibly permanent) spike there is. I’m not sure how long the effects of taking steroids last in the body but my right ear has gotten...

Oh godddd. I am sorry mate. I have also been wearing muffs for months now. Think I should ease up on them. But hyperacusi is bad. Hope yours settles down. Just don’t keep a timeline on it. Best to you.

I hope you are feeling better. Did you end up taking the Amitriptyline? Which antibiotics were you given?

@Shera Do you grind your teeth? Have you had any treatment for TMJ and neck from head injury to relieve those problems? I have head trauma from a dental experience where pressure was pressed on my front lower jaw and neck. Since then I grind my teeth.

It’s heavily somatic, and is an injury related tinnitus, so I think the top commenter hit the nail on the head. It’s a bit lower than it was, and I’m confident it’ll go away to normal levels with time. Thanks for the support and information.

SCM muscle, redundant, could be it. But vascular also, so somatic tinnitus it seems to me. I have an extensive set of head positions that fluctuate my tinnitus. I was in a car accident and sustained neck injury, although the cause of my tinnitus is from a reaction to medication. For mine I...

I think I need motion XRays. If I got motion XRays and an MRI would that definitely see what in my neck or jaw is causing my tinnitus?

@Alex Brussel You are not alone. Many people get intrusive T without doing much to deserve it. Did you get any hearing loss from that very mild head injury?

I was also thinking about that when I read the title. Noisewise, I don't think it's risky. If indoor skate parks seem too loud you can always wear your plugs :)

Also: I've contemplated suicide but I'm too afraid of heights (since my head injury was from a fall) and I can't own a gun because I've been court committed before :(

I agree that your T is showing good sign if you are already having quiet time. There are many prior posts on tinnitus induced by head or neck injury. Check out similar threads provided below. God bless.

oxycodone/acephethanophen is not very good for you or your hair cells. I took it after my head injury and it may or may not have influenced the start of my T.

Yep, concussion from car accident, almost two years ago. In my case, brain smacked against skull. I could feel it hit the top of my head during impact. My tinnitus occurred immediately after impact. Loud static, white noise. I did not experience hearing loss. Nothing shows up on CT and MRI...

An impairment or injury to the spinal accessory nerve can cause weakness or paralysis to the SCM. This can cause atrophy (shrinking) in the affected sternocleidomastoid and may cause difficulty in turning the head and bending the neck. Treatment for this involves strengthening exercises for the...

Find a upper cervical chiropractor (NUCCA). Maybe you have misaligned C1,C2 which causes vast majority of symptoms related to head and ears including T and aural fullness, tight muscles and muscle spasm affecting ears etc. It's the commonest hidden injury if you have had a blow to your head and...

I have intracraenal pressure after a head injury and that is causing my T per my ENT doc. I'm getting a Lumbar Puncture next week. Hopefully that will get rid of my T.

@AliasM, so it appears that your headaches and tinnitus happened after gym injury. Your doctors may be thinking that a hypertension event - blood pressure, may be cause and that's why a Carotid Doppler and Lumbar puncture was done. If your gym injury involved a hyperextension (forward motion)...

The real fix is an ENT taking you seriously and either surgery or a blood patch... because that shit is fixable.

Hi Dan! After my head injury i unfortunately exposed my ears to loud sounds a few times and now i have ear sensitivity and also several tones. Multi-tones. Hope yours comes to a pass.

Sorry to hear about your head injury. Similar story here. Did you suffer a concussion? Bad fall? Did you have a hearing test? more importantly a product otoacoustic emissions test to see what frequencies were injured?

...so I'm hoping it will help the tinnitus & hyperacusis. Nothing to report yet as I literally just had it done. He is also doing them intratympanically and said he helped someone recently with hyperacusis to a good degree who got it from a head injury. *Exosomes are different than stem cells.

It probably won't address tinnitus caused by somatic condition, like physical injury to blood vessels or damage to nerves. That's a whole different ballgame to somatic tinnitus, which some 80% of all tinnitus sufferers have. In Dr. Shore's context, somatic tinnitus means the ability to...

I am only stressed beacause of of T. I've had an Mri scan, audio tests - hearing is good. Tymp testing... Also clear. The only injury I had was a spinal leak last sept which was repaired with a blood patch. No t after that until I started mastubating.

Some "experts" say that even if the reason for your hyperacusis is something physical, like a head injury or something, it's still your nervous system acting up and you entering a panic/fight-or-flight mode. Now I'm not a doctor and I will not give false hope, but I personally think that...

Hmmmmm did you say yours was neck injury linked? My father has a sore neck

...I'm interested in this treatment and they have it in my country but it is expensive. I have tinnitus just over 5 weeks. I got it from a head injury even though my head injury did not seem bad at all. My hearing is fine after doing an audiometry so Im wondering is this treatment any good for...

Who knows. But there aren't many downsides to an MRI (no ionizing radiation like a CT), so if it were me I'd do it.

...but this didn't have any change to T so he has tapered off again. Coming off Sertraline is the only thing that has happened to him to cause this T (He has 2 other long standing T noises that he has controlled from a head injury). He is desperate to reverse the T and damage Sertraline has done.

Hi Tweak, I do advise going through with this treatment as the earlier you do it the more chance you have of success, and yes it can help with head injury, its even helping people with autism.

Thanks for these questions, they've been on my mind as well. Glad to hear No and No. I do have T, dizziness, back of the head pressure after my sound injury, and I've been reading that it's brain rewiring. Hopefully so.

...loss. Even if you never felt pain in the neck, some ongoing damage may have taken place and arthritis may be now setting in. There could be many other things with involvement of hearing loss from post long term head injury, but your one sided hearing loss most likely isn't from a brain injury.

Here is the revised version without hyphens: @Nick47 and anyone else reading, I take all my meds around 7:30 PM. The purpose is mainly to suppress my symptoms and help initiate sleep. I wasn't aware that Carbamazepine induces liver enzymes that metabolize Mirtazapine. This might explain why...

...he was exposed to loud noise a lot such as concerts, mp3 palyers, a band then yes. Does he have TMD neck/jaw problems? Did he suffer a head injury? Does he have sensitivity or painful sensitivity to noise? (hyperacusis) Does he have balance issues? Does his tinnitus get louder when he...

Have you ever had a concussion or neck injury, such as whiplash?

...T is also difficult to forecast. The reason I am bringing this up is that if it is impossible to forecast how well one recovers after a head injury, then it means that it is not the case that the forecast is grim - some people are able to completely recover... I sincerely hope that you are...

Stop telling me my symptoms already, it's like I'm talking to myself with you :LOL:

Hi Jenlo. Sorry about your accident. Were you put on any meds following your head injury? What frequencies do you have moderate hearing loss? I also had a concussion 16 month ago. Post Concussion Syndrome is the absolute worst.

Thanks for the explanation. My whiplash was fairly mild and mostly resulted in physical trouble. Researched the things you mentioned and they don't seem to apply to me. Doesn't mean I'm not still careful with noise, same as I always have been.

Injury can take 3 seconds or fifteen years to surface. Injury can be repaired or improve and that may lower your T. In your case, therapy should help - keep faith. Do you have your radiological results of tests that you have taken? Neck and jaw nerves can cause ear problems. Hyperacusis is...

Stress. High-level stress. T was loud like a thunderstorm. My perception is it is lower now, but still problematic.

...know for certain. Tinnitus is such a garbage thing, I believe it can be caused by almost anything. Low or high minerals in the body. Poor diet. Stress. Head injury. Noise trauma. Chemical exposure, mold exposure. Colds. Sinus infections. Spinal/skull/jaw misalignments. TMD. It’s really fucked up.

Yeah true. It's just weird because I worked out for literally four years and my tinnitus never changed. It started getting worse when I started lifting over 450 pounds. I hope I didn't damage anything.

Unless you have some kind of physical injury, hearing loss, or some other disease, it's hard to acutally prove that you have tinnitus because otherwise it's just in your head. Sadly in most cases, MRI, CT scans, EEG tests show nothing.

There are many reasons that can cause t and h. Burnout, stress, head injury, certain medications

Hi Christo, Welcome to the site! Do you know what the source of the head pain was? Was it just a headache or some kind of injury? Also, is the ringing in both ears? Please keep us updated on your treatment method.
