We can only hope so. I've had reactive tinnitus now for a little over 2 years and hope that between Dr Shore's device, Xen and Biohaven we can get some degree of relief.

@Guywithapug truly, we need something. I remember you saying the reactivity went away the first time you got it, but came back two years ago. Do you know what caused it to come back? Had it improved over the past two years? Also, what range is your hearing loss in?
@ErikaS Yes, I did have a 2 or 3 day bout of reactivity right around the onset of my tinnitus which went away only to come back again. I believe additional hearing loss caused it to return. Has it improved over 2 years? Yes and no. It appears to be less reactive but I think that's down to habituation, it's just less annoying. There are days when my baseline t is low and reactivity is low aswell.
@Guywithapug I read about your situation with the acoustic neuroma. So crazy how that happened. Was the reactivity back after that surgery ?
@ErikaS The reactivity was already back before the surgery. If you think tinnitus amd reactivity are bad, I had diplacusis for a day after surgery. Hearing different pitches in each ear.. So glad that went away with the steroids.
Does your reactivity seem lower om certain days?
Does your reactivity seem lower om certain days?
@Guywithapug never did I know so many conditions existed with the ears, I wish I still didn't :( did not experience displacusis, I do have distortions to heater, car, etc but I think that's different. No, reactivity seems to be steady. I am (only) 4 mo. in, and if I'm right that I lost higher freq in my right ear around 12k hz & up, may just take my brain/ears a little longer to settle. I have TRT eval in Feb.
