Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, is a common symptom experienced after a concussion. The head injury may damage the delicate structures within the ear or disrupt the neural pathways that process sound, resulting in persistent or intermittent ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds. (10)

While tinnitus can be frustrating and distracting, it’s essential to remain patient and give the brain time to heal. White noise machines or masking devices may help alleviate the discomfort associated with tinnitus. If the symptom persists or worsens, consult a medical professional for further evaluation and potential treatment options.
