Your response is very educational. I will make a copy of what you have shared and do my research and educate myself. Thank you.
My accident happened when I was 16 and now at 76 this is starting up. I've had x-rays of my neck last year, the first time in 60 years because of the rapid increase of discomfort with my neck issues. I never saw my original x-rays and was shocked to see clearly how tilted 3 of my discs are. Surprisingly other than stiffness, limited mobility turning my head and finding it challenging to set my neck in the perfect postition on the pillow when going to bed so it doesn't hurt I manage just fine with little pain all day. I haven't had the headaches or much pain until the last year. I had been told all this would come about by age 50 because of tramatic arthritis. I hadn't brought up tinnitus with a doctor yet because I just realized this was why I kept hearing sounds when going to bed. I have terrifc insurance so when this tinnitus becomes more acute I'll become proactive.
I appreciate you sharing about your daughter. I never realized there could be anything to help and I may have the form that she has. Thanks again.

@gardeningjunkie the neck can be a contributing factor for some kinds of tinnitus. A pulsatile tinnitus, we were told, is either a bone conduction issue (not sure if that can be related to neck) or a vascular issue. Fyi my daughter had a "fistula" from the head injury. I suppose she could have had that for a long time and lived with it until it became a problem (beyond tinnitus). But she is in music and was going to quit with the sound in her ears. The procedure blocked off a blood vessel with metal coils and eliminated the fistula, restoring peace and quiet. A fistula can become dangerous, we were told, so well worth getting the tinnitus checked out. But you have gone 60 years since the accident!
