That's exactly how mine acted. It would be lower in the mornings, and get louder as the day went on. It eventually got lower longer through the day. IMO this is huge news. I am 12 months farther in my recovery than you and about 80%+ better, so hang in there.

My T was mild and i could only hear it in quiet rooms. Now it is a high pitched dentist drill that i can hear over people's voices and the TV, my sound machine, etc. I got H in both ears as well after doing the caloric test and mild hearing loss.
