Hey! I am feeling better overall. Reactivity has improved, the muffling is gone, and the distortion is mostly absent. Tinnitus is still present, but I'm unsure if it's quieter or if I'm getting better at ignoring it because my reactivity has improved, and I don't spike as easily. I'm waiting to...
I desperately need support. Someone, please tell me that it will get better.

This is after two weeks and three steroid injections from the first hearing test (and one month from the acoustic trauma).
The doctor Injected a fourth Injection and put me on oral prednisone...
Thanks. I am almost three weeks in and still haven't been able to cope. I am reading most of the success stories, and they have helped me tremendously, but not having any control over the healing process is just tormenting; I don't have any idea when this will improve.
