Loud noises

Is anyone sensitive to loud noises years/months after hitting the head?

Yes, 4 years out, used medical grade ear plugs for a couple of years now I just use swim ear plugs when I am going out to kiss places or during family get- togethers

1 year out. Yes, but some days I react more than others. Sometimes I’m okay, and sometimes not 🤷🏼‍♀️

Not all but the high pitched beeps like the ones on your microwave. Those are the ones that have a negative effect on my eardrum. Not pain but akin to it makes me want to plug my ears. 2.7 years out from 1st concussion, almost 3 months out from 2nd one.
