Traumatic brain injury occurs when a sudden trauma causes brain damage. TBI can result from a closed head injury or a penetrating head injury. Symptoms of a TBI can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the extent of the damage to the brain. Outcome can be anything from complete recovery to permanent disability or death. A coma can also affect a child's brain.
I may be too late to answer your question, since, by your post, I think your hearing was today.
But if it's tomorrow, I think you can call the Social Security office & ask them.
If you had your hearing today, how did it go?
