You're going to have back and forth days. Some good, some bad. Don't get discouraged by more spikes. Healing doesn't always happen in a linear fashion. Enjoy your good days and endure the bad.

What I mean is there is no evidence at this stage that it will be permanent for you. There is every chance, as you're already seeing improvements, that it may continue to improve to point of resolution.
This isn't a club you want to join; consider it a boost that I tell you that you don't belong here...yet.

Its been a month yesterday since the concert. How do I know it's permanent? Because it's caused by acoustic trauma and my audiologist told me that it is. I am just being realistic with the advice I've been given. I'm already kind of weirded out by the scrutiny. I'm here for support and relatability given my situation. It doesn't actually give me a boost at all. Nobody WANTS to be here. I'm here to detail my journey.
I'm really not getting my hopes up that it will resolve completely or even substantially as I am a realist about this. It's about habituation & coping right now rather than holding onto hope that it will disappear. It realistically wont, but that is not something I care about enough to deter me. Is there a criteria for sufferers for this place? Just confused I suppose, because I am struggling regardless right...
Thanks Pixelito. Taking the good and bad days in one step at a time, I appreciate your supportive words.
It's been a month of ringing, SumGuy. I've only really noticed that this week showed a noise reduction (or perceived) in the hissing and higher tone in my right ear. So little wins 
Where the fuck is the scrutiny. Mate you're reading way to much into things. And tbf you are talking to people who do actually have it worse so some compassion for those people trying to reassure you, wouldn't of gone a miss
I honestly can't believe you made that post shaming me. After I was trying to reassure you.
You can literally see in that thread I tell someone off for being shitty at a so called mild case. The more I think about this, the more hurt I am. I really didn't need this.
Shaming you? You asked the same question again in response to me trying to be positive with the news I've received. I was genuinely just frustrated with the negativity not escaping me in this place.
Which is fair, this place is open for people to express freely and openly. Its why I went to the positivity thread where its reserved to. But even still...?
You, asking me once again, how do I know it's permanent, does not reassure me. At all. I think you know this given how I responded in the first place. Sincerely.
It was a misunderstanding. I didn't see your reply. And miss read your info. I was honestly trying to be reassuring
Misunderstandings can happen! In future though, just be wary about how your intention can come off. Because I didn't read it as reassuring and felt that it was no relevance when I was trying to be positive with my whole world being changed with this.
Tbf, I can't help the way you read it. Majority of people a month in to the start or a spike would like the reassurance.
-And I hope you can find peace with all of this. But I hope you know your posts have always been insightful for me about how bad this can all get. Battling all that at once is insane. I hope it gets better for you
I hope you're doing okay and things get better. Honestly. And sorry again. If you read this cheers n have a good one
Thanks for the apology. Doubt I'm coming out of this in a good way tbh. Once pain sets in you're pretty much fcked. And there isn't anything on the horizon for that. I hope you do better aswell.
