Thank you Frederic. Almost two years into this now since I was hit by the SUV in February '19. No definite answers from any of these doctors yet. Hopefully ongoing assesment at the VA will yield some perspectives in this. Thank you for your reply, much to read up on.

Hello all, good morning. I first registered here over a year ago. My tinnitus is the result of being struck by an SUV as a pedestrian the night of Valentine's Day 2019. The driver fled the scene but was caught, he is still in jail. He left me laying there close to a busy intersection with a...

Right after my TBI? No, right after the event I was comotose for a month. Once I awoke from the coma in the hospital (initially thought I was at home in my bed) I had to begin to grasp my new reality. That day, if not that very moment, I had "the noise", the almost constant tinnitus. I have...

Good for you Mister Muso! Only you can be the judge of what is best for you as you proceed in life with your newly acquired T. I'm 52 and my T is also new to me but I've been playing guitar since '79 when I was 12. After 40 years I'm not giving up! Bought a nylon string classical acoustic in...

Hang in there Mymlan, it DOES get better. I might not be the best example by comparison to others here but believe me, it WILL get better with time. Read my other posts. My hearing has slightly improved, according to my audiologist, even if that is barely perceptible to me. At this point I will...

It may seem inconsequential but I'll take any measure of improvement at this point. Had an appointment with my audiologist Dr. this past week and she says I have actually shown some improvement since when last she saw me five weeks ago. Those improvements may seem glacially slow but in my...

I hope that is in the cards for me. Have a new favorite song now too, "The Sound Of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle, go figure...

Thanks, ATG. What am I doing? Coping I guess. Isn't that what we are all doing? Still very much "on the mend" as it were, I got banged up pretty good. Had a minor surgical procedure Thursday ( under general anesthesia) to correct a muscle in my left eye which was out of place so that my left eye...

Greetings all. Joined the forum almost two months ago but haven't posted since my introduction post "Greetings from Buffalo" on Aug. 4th. Been doing lots of reading up since then. I am 52 years old. Never had any hearing problems all my life and was certainly subjected to lots of noise for...

There have been some really good ones and some were real cheese. One standout which was only mentioned once here by IamCalifornia was "Prince Of Darkness" (1987). I went to see it when it was out in theaters in Waikiki when I was in the service. prince of darkness movie trailer Rent a copy! It...

Thanks Lane! With all the injuries I sustained I'm feeling like something the cat dragged in. Fractured skull, broken cheek bone, initially diagnosed with a torn left rotator cuff but later determined to be atrophy during the coma so my shoulder is actually o.k. now, whew! I landed on my left...

Thank you for that, Doc. That's quite a read, lots to absorb but time is certainly what I have plenty of these days. It will help me to understand what has happened to me and what I am facing in this recovery. Educating myself as much as possible and hoping for the best is my main focus these...

Hello everyone. I have some sort of hearing problem, almost constant noise/roaring in my ears. This has been with me since I awoke in the hospital from a month long coma. I was walking on the shoulder of the road near home one night and was hit by a car. It was a drunk driver who left me in the...

Eh?
