I am late deafened profound due to a TBI and a long term coma. (29 mo.)
When I awoke I had become deaf "profound".
I have since got a right side cochlear implant but
I have non-stop tinnitus.
Can anything be done to stop the tinnitus?

Sorry to say, no. There are scams out there saying they have the solution, but it is just a scam. I asked my brother inlaw, who is losing his hearing, if he still had the tinitis and he said yes. He said even if he lost all hearing, the tinitis will still be there. I have read that it is caused from the brain, not the ears. I have had tinitis over 60 yrs. Somehow, I have good hearing. I hear things my husband doesn't. Yet there are high frequency sounds going on constantly. At least 4. Having the TV on or the radio seems to hide it. Trying to sleep when all is quiet is a challenge. My Dr. prescribed sleeping pills which I only take if I am still awake after 30 minutes. Having the sleeping pills is a big relief. However, I don't want to get addicted to them. Good luck.
