Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2006Tinnitus from head injury -- help!
Three months ago I was on a bike when a car smashed into me, sending me to the emergency room. I suffered some head trauma (mostly a sharp bang to the left forehead which left a deep gash). While my injuries have mostly healed, within 2 days of the accident I began hearing a high pitched sound in my left ear. It comes and goes, roughly 3 days on, 2 days off (though recently it's gotten more persistent). Went to my ear doctor who tested me for hearing loss, which there wasn't, and he sent me on my way with a "good luck." Have since tried acupuncture to no avail. Any suggestions? Gingko? Homeopathy? Vitamin B-12? Any recommendations welcome! Also, are any of the advertised online remedies any good? They promise miracle cures, usually with a combination of homeopathic cell salts. Thanks. -- Warren If you had head trauma after the accident, then you would also have soft tissue damage in the neck - something like a whiplash. Has anyone commented on or looked at that? Can you find - or get referred to - a physio therapist? You need some gentle attention to your neck. Forget all the miracle cures on the internet.

As far as I can tell my neck wasn't affected--no pain or stiffness whatsoever. And there hasn't been any jaw stiffness (like from grinding teeth) either. Even so, I have had weekly chiropractic for my neck (with a wonderful chiropractor who used to be a massage therapist -- very gentle and patient)since then just to be careful. I CAN say that when I open my mouth wide or grind my teeth on that side that the sound increases, so it may have something to do with certain muscles, I'm not sure. 3 months ago isn't all that long. What do you do for a job? Many people have also been helped by The Alexander Method. Have a read of http://eebee.net/alex.shtml Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >Elly: Thanks.

Give gingko a try for a month or so...
