Tinnitus after concussion

Bones, joints and muscles

Hi,

Last January, I suffered a concussion. I went to the ER, got a CT scan and was sent home. I had strong headaches and dizziness for a couple weeks and mild headaches for about 2 months. Once that got better, I started getting tinnitus, extremely quiet at first but it progressively got louder.

By now (8 months after the incident), I only really hear it if I am in a really quiet spot and at night. It is not unbearable, it just makes it harder to fall asleep.

I don't feel like going to a doctor would help with my condition in any way, am I wrong? is this something I should worry about? 

I feel like I just need to learn to live with it.

Have had this moderate sound in my ears for most of my 85. Sensing it assures me that I’m alive
