It looks like months after one's eardrum heals, T begins to fade and eventually goes away.

Thank you so much for your kind reply, means alot!! I have also developed some kind of hyperacusis /ttts where my eardrum thumps and i will get burning pain throughout the day.. is this normal? My mild t is actually a minor problem compared to this 
TTTS (thumping of the eardrum) is normal and usually it does mostly goes away after about a year, and eventually it goes away completely. The burning is a rare symptom. I know of about four people who have had that. It also improves with time, but in my small sample it faded even slower than T and TTTS.
"All but one patient had a perforated TM. ... after the six month follow-up period, 40% of the patients initially complaining of tinnitus still had tinnitus. Tinnitus had improved in 13%, and in 47% it had disappeared by the end of the six month follow-up period."
