Driving up there I was thinking how I barely notice my T anymore. Anyway, I'll habituate again I hope.

I had to go to a loud industrial environment for work and didn't wear any ear protection for days and I am spiking badly now. So stupid!!!!

Back in the office 3-2 now and its okay, T does not really make a difference. You'll be fine it will just take time!

Now I don't really notice it most of the time. Its still there. I honestly never thought I'd get to this point.

Thank you! I have had two Pfizer jabs, and this type of information is exactly why I am not getting a booster shot. Its just not worth the risk of making my tinnitus worse. I am far from an anti-vaxxer. People at the company where I work that did not want to take the vaccine are now being laid...

But its much much better than it was, I'm sure it will be for you also, hang in there!!

I am mostly at home though, so I don't know whats going to happen when this pandemic gets better, maybe thats masking some issues for me.

I am able to ignore it most of the time unless I think about it. I have not used headphones, no idea if thats needed but better be safe.

Hi New-To-T. There have been lots of ups and downs, I am now 4+ months into it and it is much better. Its still there all the time.

I think you want to get the earwax removed somehow, either manually by an ENT or use one of the over the counter liquids to soften it up and do it that way gradually. It is still very early days for you and it will very likely get better. I've had many temporary spikes along the way caused by...

13% of the placebo group gained a benefit by healing naturally. Definitely showing some promise. Only 31 patients though, so it's really hard to draw any definitive conclusions...

Your standard laptop microphones suck. Get a conference microphone. You can get one on Amazon for < $30. Since my tinnitus started that's all I've been using with no complaints. Better safe than sorry in the beginning.

5 weeks in and my hyperacusis somehow improved significantly in the last few days. The volume of my tinnitus has also reduced. Its still there constantly though. I felt some sharp pain in my ears occasionally last week, not sure what that was about. Maybe this is just temporary, or I'm on the...

I am in a high-pressure technical position for a Fortune 50 company. I am running again, I meditate - something I have never done before. The key to me seems to be to get a good nights sleep. So yeah I in some ways tinnitus is forcing me to make healthier choices. I still have days where I where...

I can also relate. I am 3 weeks into this so I do not have answers for you. But I think you'll find that the people for whom it got significantly better, or who habituated, are probably not still hanging out on these forums.
