Concussion hearing loss

Common Questions and Answers about Concussion hearing loss

concussion

This is my first concussion since my last serious injury which cause amnesia, mild hearing loss, etc. I don't have a family doctor, so I'm wondering if these symptoms should be seen by a doctor. I'd rather not go to a walk in clinic for possibly hours if it seems to not be serious. Also, are there any suggestions to help with pain, aside from avoiding thinking such as doing my Uni. asssignments. With my other injuries I don't recall anything aside from Tylenol & the usual.

Three days ago i experienced a concussion with loss of consciousness i was probably struck in forehead by a large metal door, but i do not recall what occured. I was brought to the ER and a CT scan found nothing related to the injury. Due to the incident occuring at work i am being seen daily by a different Dr. I have been given confilicting information, and am very confussed about what i should be experiencing!

Getting older does = comprehension loss. It also causes hearing loss in the higher frequencies, which is needed for good language comprehension. Age, well I don't know your age, so I can't really tell you if that is a determining factor. Head trauma.... depending on your age, that may be it. In other words if you are 28 and have a hearing loss, I'd say that is head trauma related.... If you are over 60 it could be age and a history of head trauma.

On Saturday (Today is Monday), I was playing basketball and as I went in to go for a layup I was elbowed on the left side of my head. I finished the play and did not have any loss of conciousness, did not fall down, and just had some pain in the head from the blow. Following that I noticed ringing in one of my ears, that lasted a few seconds, and a slight headache began to develop that was no generalized to a specific area, but rather kept feeling pain in different areas of my head.

Hi last April my husband suffered a concussion while on his stag do. He was intoxicated when he suffered the concussion and was admitted to hospital. While at the hospital he was put on an IV and he did not know where he was. He thought he was in Spain despite being in Nottingham. The doctor wanted to keep him in overnight but the idiot best man did he best to get my husband released after a few hours.

Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! I am sorry to hear about your husband. The memory loss could just be due to concussion which at times persists for years and all of a sudden disappears and the person remembers everything. This does not have any long term complications. The person just needs support from family members and has to learn to live with the memory loss. Memory loss is also a common symptom of frontal lobe injury.

I saw an ENT yesterday that also performed a hearing test and determined that I had some hearing loss more on the higher frequency sounds. Everything sounds musled and the ringing is so loud it is very hard for me to consentrate. I am even scared to drive or leave the house because It's hard for me to determine where sound is coming from. I was told that I have tinnitus and they were not sure if it would get better or not.

Hi, Migraine headaches cause temporary hearing loss. Migraine cannot cause a permanent hearing loss. Please go through the following link it gives information on the causes of hearing loss in children. http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/Mosby_factsheets/Hearing_Loss.html#2 I would suggest you to please consult an ENT specialist.

On Jan 3rd, I suffered a severe concussion when I fell and hit the back of my head. I developed dizziness, ringing in the ears, bad headache, unsteadiness and nausea. Its now going on 2 months and I'm not getting any better. My Neurologist said that I have Post Concussion Syndrome. What's the difference between concussion and PCS and when will it go away? I can't even drive, or work and to even go to a store, I'm afraid to go without someone with me.

If I can rule that out, then I may have a couple ideas for you. One is, I have directional hearing loss. I hear things outside and inside my house, for example, and I have no idea from what direction they are coming and sometimes no idea how close the sound is to me.

HI Liam, How are you? Concussion may present with the symptoms you are experiencing such as loss of consciousness, confusion, headache, nausea or vomiting, blurred vision, loss of short-term memory or perseverating. (ref: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/concussion/page2_em.htm#Concussion%20Symptoms) The symptoms may resolve after some time or may persists. After initial treatment, it is important to go to your follow-up appointments for evaluation and monitoring. Take care and keep us posted.

Yesterday, I experienced a severe headache, nausea, hearing loss, and difficulty hearing that I described to my family as being the same as how I felt when I was hospitalized. I am very scared because most of the details that I have written were obtained from my families input. And it is taking me quite some time to post this. I have a neurological follow-up scheduled, but I am concerned because my intellect, emotional state, & career are in jeopardy.

My question is do you think it is Meniere's since I have no hearing loss? I also have pulsating tinnitus (not ringing) with a very distinct heart beat which I have read is not related to Meniere's. I really do not want it to be Meniere’s and he knows that. Now I am having some dizziness still. Yesterday my head was killing me when I woke up from laying on it exactly where I had hit it when I fell and the pulse was extra loud in that ear.

Hi. I am so sorry to hear about your accident and I do hope you recover from your symptoms soon. The symptoms associated with a post-concussion syndrome (PCS) can last from a few weeks to several months, and is dependent on the severity of the concussion. Have your symptoms worsened during the last 8 days? The symptoms you mentioned do indeed fall under the known symptoms associated with PCS.

Went to the doctors and was diagnosed with concussion. Rest and pain killers, I thought ok  Then I started getting numb tingling in my finger tips on my left hand, mainly my little finger, also now have a strange feeling in my left ear (with some pain) feels like I’m going deaf but can still hear?

I got two seven week old kittens the one I haven't names the other I named esctasy cause of how it acts. Esctasy got a sever concussion, when it happened she couldn't move, couldn't see, and started going to the bathroom nonstop. At first I thought she broke her neck or something of the sort. I got her to the vet within the hour and she lived through it. She's home today still with the concussion, but she's blind.

I also haven't really been showing symptoms, other than a headache. But, I hear than it can sometimes take days for symptoms of concussion to show and given how hard I apparently hit my head (I don't remember it as I'd blacked out) I'm kind of worried about it. Is there any way of telling if you have it? Should I be worried?

I feel like a blog hog today but was really interested in knowing if anyone had symptoms related to their hearing or ears? Pain? Tinnitus? Hearing loss? Unilateral or bilateral? Thanks again.

Hi, I wonder if anyone has heard of or had experience of using epilepsy drugs in connection with post concussion syndrome? I had a bad fall on the head 5 months ago and am still suffering from persistant skull pains at the back of the head and neck area. My neurologist prescribed me with a drug used in connection wioth psychosis/depression (unfortunately I can't remember what they are called) at 10mg.

Still, I feel I should name anything that might be related. The other thing, and this comes and goes... is hearing things. Sometimes I would hear a radio or tv on in another room, but when I told the kids to turn off the tv and go to bed, they'd tell me there wasn't anything on. This happened so often, they're convinced I'm completely nuts now.

I had a auto accident, w/ memory loss/concussion. 2/2011, so almost a yr. ago.Released from ER that day. My doc mentioned I have a Mild TBI and congnitive therapy would maybe help. I finally found(had to do this on my own) that what I really need to visit is a Neuropsychologist , who could give me a QEEG OR AN EEG?? I ended up w/ a neck back injury. I was very athletic prior and I am deeply depressed, I just started take anti-depressants a month ago. But, the crying thing has been since day one.

Hi, i was diagnosed with a concussion 6 months ago after a 85lb metal door fell and hit on the head. I suffer from post concussive disorder. I have constant headache that have never stopped since the incidents, dizzyness, nausea, vomiting, memory loss, balance issues, and my most recent symptom is auditory hallucinations. The auditory hallucinations have come on suddenly and they aggravate my headaches even more.

The injury can be in form of contusion or hemorrhage or damage to the nerves. Please discuss this with a neurologist. If the loss is due to concussion, there is a chance that the sense of smell will come back. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I too have suffered a concussion to back of head and 0% smell taste. I miss smell the most, everything seems so flat. It's been only a month for me, I have hope for all of us..

Hi Welcome to the MedHelp forum! First of all try and find the cause for your loss of smell and tatse. It could be concussion, damage to nose, injury to olfactory (related to smell) nerves, olfactory bulb in the brain,or frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain. If it is due to concussion or due to damage to nose, then strong perfumes may still be detected. Try and see. Highly seasoned food with spices, cloves, pepper, vinegar etc may help.

My Freshman year of college, I randomly collapsed and hit my head. I had an MRI done and there was no concussion but it came back abnormal. This is basically what they found: There are scattered foci of abnormal signal intensity within the corona radiata and centrum semiovale bilaterally, which most likely ischemic. There are also cystic changes in both cerebral hemispheres, some of which have white matter gliosis.

Wow.. I'm sure nothing I could offer here would be something that you and your colleagues haven't thought of, but I'll throw out my thoughts even though they were most likely the first thoughts of everyone else. You describe the symptoms of syncope - loss of sufficient blood flow to the brain with dimming, graying and distorted vision. Clearly the drop attacks did not have such a warning. I also gather there was no ensuing headache.

I think you are right in going for counselling ,it does sound as if you are suffering from the loss of your son,meanwhile for the memory loss I expect you will ask for some input regarding the meds you are taking .Sometimes we have to help our selves through it ,that is what I have done having had many useless theories,I dont take any drugs now to help myslef I rely on research and supplements ..
