Sound Sensitivity After Concussion: Hyperacusis and Its Hidden Causes - Dr. Glen Zielinski | E30

He shares diagnostic insights including a simple tuning fork test that can identify potential SCD cases.• SCD creates a resonant cavity near hearing apparatus when the thin bone covering semicircular canals is damaged• Simple tuning fork test on the knee can identify SCD when patients hear rather than just feel the vibration• Proper diagnosis requires high-resolution temporal bone CT imaging• Midbrain dysfunction often presents with combined symptoms of light/sound sensitivity, anxiety, and vestibular issues• Hear the story of how Dr. Zielinski's clinic won architectural awards for its therapeutic design specifically engineered for brain injury patients• Special features include specific shades of green for photophobia and felt materials that absorb aggravating sound frequencies• The physical environment itself becomes part of the treatment approachYou can learn more about Dr. Zielinski's clinic at northwestfunctionalneurology.com or email [email protected] us a Message!My new book The Art of Concussion Recovery: Following the Thread is available as an audiobook, paperback, hardcover, and Kindle on Amazon.  Save $30 on Brain Ritual - A daily brain energy-support drink like none other. https://www.brainritual.com/AYLA94359Save 20% on your first order of Puori Protein:  https://affiliate.puori.com/LIFEAFTERIMPACTThe Art of Concussion Recovery - Audiobook Available on Audible and Apple Books, Paperback and Hardcover on AmazonConcussion Breakthrough: Discover the Missing Pieces of Concussion Recovery is now available on Amazon!Follow us on YouTube & Instagram @lifeafterimpactWebsite: lifeafterimpact.comMedical disclaimer: this video or podcast is for general informational purposes only, and does not constitute the practice of medicine or other professional healthcare services, including the giving of medical advice.
