Hi all,
Title pretty much asks my question. I'm just over 5 weeks of acoustic trauma induced tinnitus (with no hearing loss) and the ENT said 90% of individuals get better by 6 months. He really couldn't answer any other question that I had such as the mechanism in which tinnitus with no hearing loss works, etc, but did say that individuals without hearing loss recover faster than those with hearing loss.
Having only been on this forum for a short time, it seems like an excellent support network and compilation of helpful resources. Many of the posts however mention individuals having tinnitus for much longer than 6 months. Is this just sample bias (i.e. - the only people to leave reviews have a problem with the product), or is the ENTs 90% figure an optimistic gesture?
Thank you all in advance.
