I use two types of earplugs.
Vibes High Fidelity Concert Earplugs - Hearing Protection Ear Plugs Noise Reduction for Concerts, Fitness Classes, Motorcycle, Sensory Disorders (Tinnitus Relief & Autism) - As Seen on Shark Tank https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018WPOQSG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_rWqODbPD5326E
These for when I need things toned down but don't need to be aware enough to, say, notice someone coming up behind me. So, places I feel safe. Theyre fairly comfortable. Designed similarly to earbuds. Easy to take with you and keep clean.
Eargasm High Fidelity Earplugs for Concerts Musicians Motorcycles Noise Sensitivity Conditions and More (Ear Plugs Come in Premium Gift Box Packaging) - Blue https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019M576XW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_OXqODb425E193
These for when I have to be aware of my surroundings but can't deal with all of the sound because it's overwhelming. It makes things manageable on a good day, but they wouldn't do much on a bad day. They're really, really comfortable. Easy to take with you. Require a bit more care than most earplugs.
Both will let you hear conversation/tv/etc without issue.
OMG you replied! I had actually done this then forgot LOL.
the truly funny thing was that my blue light reduction setting was already on 🤣🤣
so, for me, definitively the blue light reduction setting on the Samsung Galaxy S10e is negligible
it is less effective than:
turning down the brightness
putting on sunglasses to use phone
"blackout" glasses (I dunno the DARK sun ones)
blue light reduction glasses [mine are dark orange I dunno if the light yellow work as well - they tint the whole world orange and I kinda like it]
I can't wear glasses all the time though and - the blue light reduction is better than nothing.
OH - I can link them. Personal rec only, non expert :) purchased July 8 so the model should hopefully still be the same cuz these were only $20!!! (and I have a BIG head - man's hat size 7 7/8 and I can wear these longer than most glasses for pure physical comfort)

Also, I should have mentioned, not necessarily a reply to the original post but to others wanting to meditate to cope with mTBI, there are a couple good books that describe HOW to meditate.
I prefer a more loosely structured approach combined with reflection described by these authors:
Unlearning Meditation by Jason Siff (http://www.amazon.com/Unlearning-Meditation-What-When-Instructions/dp/1590307526)
and True Meditation by Adyashanti (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1591794617/ref=tmm_abk_title_0?ie=UTF8&sr=8-1&qid=1426012574)
I hope these suggestions will be useful.
XD. You should read about people who put all of their semen into a 2 liter bottle and cultivate it. It's a 1 and a half year process, they mix like sugar and stuff and add yeast and let it ferment and then drink it as alcohol or add it to vodka. By the way.
http://www.amazon.com/Natural-Harvest-collection-semen-based-recipes/dp/1481227041
The best part is that there are used books. :D. Happy cooking.
P.S More treats from the same author.

The brain absolutely can rewire itself. Some places are implementing treatment just on that.
I wrote a post on here months ago sharing my story. I encourage you to read it and look at my notes. I made this post because one such neuro-optometrist saved my life. Really, I didn't want to live life in misery anymore. It's been so miraculous that I feel a civic duty to share my experience. I'm 80% better and only improving!

Oh, I want to thank you again because I googled "radical self acceptance" and there's a free audio book that seems good (free for me, I don't know how Audible works).

I'm usually cold and have become very heat intolerant so I have the exact opposite problem.
That being said, wrt to getting sweaty it sounds a lot like hot flashes. You can buy this thing and I promise you it works. Wet it and put it around the back of your neck. You will cool off. https://www.amazon.com/Ergodyne-Chill-Its-6602-Evaporative-Cooling/dp/B001B5I57I/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=chill+it+cooling+towel&qid=1574111011&sr=8-4
Get that brand "Chill it". I've gotten others and they don't work nearly as well. Good luck!

Nancy suffered a TBI years ago, leaving her with foreign accent syndrome and other complications. After that, she went on to raise two children, get a master's degree, and start her own business. Her book talks about her journey and gives some great ways to handle life with a TBI.
This is a great post, thank you. I am in technology consulting now about 4 years out of my accident. Blue light has been a strain on my eyes and I’ve used blue light shielding glasses to help. You can get some with no prescription for about $10-$20 on Amazon. It has been very helpful. The pair I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0755GW72V?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Hi there. Have you seen a vestibular therapist for the dizziness/vertigo issues?
Also, I recently read a book called “the ghost in my brain.” He described brain injuries pretty well and detailed his recovery, which stemmed from two doctors in Chicago.
https://www.amazon.com/Ghost-My-Brain-Concussion-Plasticity/dp/0143108298
I know they’ve helped folks with some pretty dramatic issues. I’m visiting them in Chicago this week (fingers crossed):

The FDA has approved exactly ZERO drugs to treat TBI. SSRI's can be a treacherous path, and if it's a bad path, can take a while to get off of. Just because someone has a MD after their name, doesn't mean they know anything about how to actually manage a TBI. It's a sober truth many have learned the long way.
There is HUGE movements in the psychedelic space and it's showing to be exceptionally effective at managing depression with TBI.

My neurologist is also eastern medicine based, giving a holistic approach. This compound is found in all salt waters and also in your brain when a brain injury occurs to trigger healing. This compound has helped with my daily migraines.

I broke my right arm just below the shoulder and of course I'm right handed and have spasticity on that side. This definitely helped strengthen it and you could work on doing it in motions to a metronome or a song.
