Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

If you plot the volume vs time, it will normally look like a stock price vs time chart. It is normal for there to be retracements. What happens during any given week is irrelevant. What matters is the monthly trend.

If it was quiet earlier, it proves that it Can be quiet. There is a good chance that eventually it will be quiet all of the time. For now, be happy about the quiet periods and hope that they will keep getting longer and longer.

Thanks for your support. Appreciate it a lot. The retracement seems to be a spike in my case, reason a bit difficult to pinpoint.

Might be the 3 minutes of vacuuming on Monday without protection (delay seems odd though), or stress on Tuesday.
Beh, atleast I am not back to square one.

Those spikes are normal and inevitable.

It Could be the vacuuming. Delays are not unheard of.

Yeah, I sort of fell back into my old habits as it was not "real vacuuming" for me. Also it isnt something I would have seen as problematic in the past.

So difficult to anticipate all these potential causes for spikes...

As long as you learn from your mistakes, it ought to be ok. Having said that, we are given only a limited number of second chances.

Sigh, it does seem like I'm pretty much back at square one, though I'm getting habituated faster. T is still the static TV noise though much more active, and a high pitched ringing (not so loud). 3-4/10, though rarely it goes down to a 1/10 for a couple minutes per day for some relief.

3-4 out of 10 after only a month is pretty good. Most people start with 7-9 out of 10. Your outlook ought to be better than average.

Yeah I am aware of that, but I'm scared this setback jeopardized my chance of healing. Today I have completed five weeks with T and I was making very good progress before this setback. I was anticipating having no T on this weekend...
Well I hope there's still a chance to heal even with a nasty spike in between.
