Hi - I am still with the single side - ROAR and high pitch in my left ear - about 7 weeks in. I do notice that sometimes the pitch will change and my ENT says that is a sign the nerve is healing. I fully expect to be like this for at least 3-4 months. I ended up contracting another cold over...

Let us know how it went - sending good thoughts
