    Bemusement About Tinnitus Variation...

    Day in day out, mostly loud or annoying tinnitus, interrupted by distracted focus and ambient noise that obscures the dreaded hiss. Then...for no reason, no change in stress, diet, exercise or sleep, my tinnitus reduces to what can be described as a more livable level. Never lasts long...

    Root Cause of Variable Tinnitus?
