10 Symptoms of Whiplash

7. Tinnitus

Aside from physical eardrum injury, it's hard to say what causes tinnitus. The sufferers of whiplash tend to exhibit this symptom on a fairly regular basis. This is likely related to the spinal injury, which affects the brain in a number of ways. Since tinnitus can be purely a mental injury and part of a much wider scope of psychosocial disorders (some of which are caused by whiplash), it makes sense that whiplash sufferers are prone to its inhibition. Frequent horn honking and other traffic sounds are known to worsen the effects of this condition.
