Shaun, trust me, i've been there too, many of us on this forum. I had burning ears, tighness and wierd sensations in the ears too (severe acoustic trauma). You will improve, but will have setbacks. It takes time for your ears to heal. I'm in for about 30 months now with severe T and H and just had I minor setback again after about 9 months. In the beginning time frames were much shorter and setbacks were worse.
