Dr. Glen Zielinski from Northwest Functional Neurology explores commonly missed vestibular lesions that can develop after head impacts, focusing on Superior Canal Dehiscence (SCD) as a frequently overlooked cause of debilitating hyperacusis and other post-concussion symptoms. 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 approach
