...many on here and that’s acceptance for now. On another note - I was in contact recently with someone who had tinnitus onset as a result of a head injury in a car accident. She was also very young and has since had a baby as well. I thought I’d tell you so that you could hold on to that...

Unfortunately, I don't live in a country where I can get to those services without a referral, so I'm left with my family doctor. However, she is more open to things lately but still is cautious, which I can appreciate. I'm hoping the NAC hasn't caused damage, as I've read other people...

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

...2022 It started suddenly with a constant high-pitched ringing. There was no obvious trigger: no sound trauma, no stress, no neck or head injury. Hearing tests and an MRI came back normal. The tinnitus in the right ear has stayed mostly the same since onset — consistent and unchanging. I had...

There are many ways people develop tinnitus: head injuries, medications, infections, acoustic trauma, etc. Among these, acoustic trauma is probably the most common cause, but it also offers the best chances for recovery. If I could share any advice from my experience with acoustic...

Did you ever look into PLF yourself online and try herbal diuretic, sleeping with your head elevated, avoidance of any kind of bending over and straining etc? I am assuming you are already avoiding salt and coffee. When you describe your "atypical headache" as atypical, what is it exactly, is...

Hmm. Long story short: Extreme hyperacusis forced me to wear ear muffs for months. Could not tolerate even barely audible sounds. It led to severe tension and cramps in the entire head and neck region which makes those muscles prone to injury... Even normal movements could cause injuries. It...

@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...

In January 2020 I fell and hit the back of my head and received a concussion as well as whiplash. It took about three months to recover and I needed physiotherapy for my neck (which really did help a lot in my recovery). I did have occasional tinnitus during that time but was feeling so poorly...

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.

Always thought that @IntotheBlue03's problems (all) were caused by cranio-cervical instability. Alar injury also causes brain fog and sensations when moving head and eyes. All this increased anxiety. Tinnitus is decreasing as Alar ligaments are healing, thus anxiety is decreasing. qEEG may be...

it isn't for people such as myself who lost all hearing on account of a head injury.

...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...

@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?

@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.

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 :(

@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 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...

...may include mental fog, cerebellar or brain stem injury, concussion, and most notable is vertebrobasilar insufficiency. So with a head injury, noise can be a problem for the brain. The vertebrobasiliar plate can associate to vertebrates rubbing together causing tuning fork sounds. Motion X...

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.

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:

@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...

Often without noise exposure, a sudden neck injury is cause of hearing loss/tinnitus and more so if neck problems already exist. Cervical muscle spasms from lifting or turning neck often to the left can cause C spine straightening, upper ligament damage, atlas imbalance, suboccipital nerve and...

I probably misunderstood that. My bad.

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.

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...

Thanks @Eleanor89. It’s been difficult and if you’re here, you know the road. I did take the full dose being inside a concrete room when I took the shot. No cover, wide open into my ears and brain. Thing is, it’s not from a medical injury or a vaxx injection but brutal gun force so I just...

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.

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...

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.

Studies are over over the place with this, but few that I have found discuss jaw formation as an infant, young adult or permanent teeth development. They do mention mouth breathers, jaw and neck injury. I've been to Periodontal dentists that been practicing forever that specifically treat TMJ...

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.

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?

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?

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.

...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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

...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.

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

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

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

...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...

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.

I know n=1 anecdotes aren't super helpful, but my MEMR has become so strong and pronounced in the last year that I can physically feel it reacting to almost any abrupt sound (particularly high-frequency ones) after acoustic trauma-caused tinnitus and hyperacusis one year ago. The hyperacusis is...

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...

...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...

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

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 :)

...difficulties right now, but as you said, you are perhaps fortunate that it took over two years for your tinnitus to develop after the head injury. I don't know much about tinnitus and head injury, but I did read up on it a little bit before responding to you. Here is an article on tinnitus...

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.

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...

1) Sorry, I can't really pinpoint how I got T. Could of been a head/neck injury. 2) The noise I hear is like an "eeeeee" sound. 3) I have no frequency sound level but it's a high pitch sound. Also , the sound level does not change when I turn my head / open jaw or other experimental positions...

Hi Shane! sorry to hear about your skull fracture. any other post head injury symptoms? did your T come on immediately after the incident? T with head injuries is difficult to call. And it's too hard to predict until the 1 maybe 2 year mark. I would recommend lots of omega 3 fish oil for a...

My theory is that when there is anything going on in the head or neck area such as injury, recovery from some types of surgery and inflammation close to the auditory nerves from the ears to the brain we hear a form of T. Imo ot explains different T sounds and spikes. Its our bodies own built in...
