I think you're absolutely correct. Seems once you've had tinnitus, even if it completely fades, you can get it back a lot easier.
ENT Said If Tinnitus Doesn't Get Better in 3 Months, the Brain Memorizes It, and Never Gets Better

Dont listen to what they say. ENTs are normally not clued up on how the brain functions. The brain is extremely plastic in its responses to stimuli. Some people have had success with Neuro Modulation after having Tinnitus for years. If it was fixed, how come they respond so well.
I think the truth is your ENT has a fixed brain, and little room for new ideas and thinking.
peace & love.

Most of them don't know anything about this condition. They don't even know how to prevent you well so you don't get worse.
What a shitty country. Just like here. Both have insane levels of migrants and refugees but do they care about people suffering with tinnitus? No. They could care less. I hate this society we live in.
I think severe tinnitus makes it difficult to do routine or normal tasks. The more that is involved, the more difficult it is and the more, the person will struggle in trying to do it and they might just not bother.
I think that is a more accurate assessment instead of ML's "you wouldn't be able to use the internet regularly. " Right? Know what I mean?
For e.g., if you have an appointment to go to or you are supposed to visit someone or you were previously working - if your tinnitus is severe or because severe e.g. 8/10 severity or worse, it would beyond difficult to do those tasks - getting ready, going in the car and driving etc. etc.
As for ENTs, is it only worth seeing one? They are more or less useless? I don't think I have ever read here of an ENT doing something that reduces tinnitus or solving/curing ear pain.

Yes it can sap your energy and make it hard to concentrate. But I have found over time my mind has become "stronger" as such - and now can do most things "normally". I can somehow mitigate the effects. Takes time of course.
Peace & Love to you.

MemberIf this doo doo is true, then how come some of us have tinnitus that goes away sometimes? Do our brains memorize it, then forget it, then remember it again?
Mine went away completely in 6 months 3 years ago tinnitus come back about 6 weeks ago and I think they getting better its just hyperacusis put me on downer there's only 2 to 3 sounds that I cant tolerate.so answer to your question tinnitus can go away.

This is so inspiring. I'm suffering from my first major spike (from a fire alarm!) since developing tinnitus, so to hear this is really encouraging.
Since last summer, my tinnitus has been on and almost off to at least, a level not as completely offensive, and debilitating as it has been in the past. Today, for example, earlier I felt pretty good for a change and tried to make myself stay busy. Late this afternoon, I ended up falling asleep while sitting up, awaking an hour later with my head hung forward and the tinnitus so loud I it was impossible to believe there wasn't some other source besides my ears/brain/dental fillings. It so loud and it is hard to think of anything else but the tinnitus. The levels seems as loud as the worst when this started when it drove me into acute anxiety.
So, my question for your ENT is, could he/she explain what was wrong with my brain this morning- yesterday and the day before when it seemed to have forgotten to make the screeching noise in my ears? Is this forgetting to make the noise as loud a sign of dementia or what? And, when it came back is it a resurrection of a memory like PTSD? I think your ENT is a paid stooge and that tinnitus has a cause that the doctors cannot and will not admit to.
When this torture ramps up, it feels more likely that tinnitus could be some whacked out AI experiment using RF directed at candidates the medical professionals perhaps themselves, deemed fit the experiment criteria, or maybe we are similar to US Cuban embassy victims, or maybe it is some sort of post 9/11 screwed up watchlist monitoring and incapaciation tool used on a whim to imbolize and torture people someone in power felt for incorrect reasons should be on that list. I think, a doctor should state that either they cannot discuss the symptom, that they are not at liberty to investigate this health crisis, or that they are ignorant, unwilling or incapable of investigating the symptoms before they make up, to be very blunt, bull, intended to keep you from seeking help for your tinnitus from them or from a referral to a specialist. Perhaps they get little gold stars beside their name if they cause a patient to stop seeking relief from torture to keep insurance costs down. (The medical help I've had, albeit very infrequent since this tinnitus began due to how I was suddenly treated, has curbed me from evening having a PCP much less getting help. When I was having chest pains not too long ago, I called a local clinic for an appointment and was told late November- a month away for an appointment or I could come to a walk in clinic later in the week! I'm pushing 60. I had to give my social security and phone number just to be spoken to and she came up with my name and had to verify my birth date! So, apparently our records are in their collective system. Had I gone someplace else further away, I would have had to drive and I wasn't feeling okay. Later, the power went out and coincidentally my chest pain stopped until the power came back on. This happened again this week. I think health care is a complete joke and though I used to trust doctors, I seriously am afraid that if I had gone to another area ER what would have happened as five years ago, they labeled my tinnitus as an "auditory delusion" in one seriously, and locked me up for 23 days. My ultimate diagnosis was that I was delusional but my chief complaint was the tinnitus, the ringing in my teeth, the electrical sensitivity (that I could document as an abnormal static charge on my body with a multimeter--700mV potential difference between me and ground and static shocks that felt like 12 volts if i got near outlets or metal. Other people, before and since have seen my measurement and verified with similar measurement that this level of voltage was not what their bodies read. Unless they have put dissimilar metals in my body--unless i have heavy metal burdent that suddenly happened to me, unless there is some sort of disease that suddenly causes this that has an explanation based on physics and science, than I'm guessing there is a frequency being run (such as on the abandoned analog television bands) that the medical and governement have decided to use to conduct something similar to telemedicine but through a form of radio frequency. It puts electricity on the body and excites the metals in dental fillings or activates something in the dental fillings in my head, is what it feels like. If that is delusional, then someone please better tell me why tonight I have 350 mV on my body when days ago, it was only 5-20mV when I felt better and had little tinnitus.
Tell your ENT to take up fiction writing. The doctors are the ones who are delusional to think that we are so stupid to believe their horse manure, for fee explanations. The logic the ENT used sounds every bit if not more delusional than my explanation--since either he/she believes that or has assessed you to be so gullible you would buy in to that kind of BS. Something has happened to health care in our country and it began right about the time everyone developed this mysterious undiagnosed tinnitus. Considering military --veterans from mid last century to those who served voluntarily this century have tinnitus more than the average population and frequent medical care while in service and afterward, speaks volumes as a statistic of this disease. Other populations with tinnitus in who are reporting this sympom are gay men and women, older women after menopause, women who have been through domestic violence, men with aids, people with development mentally impacting disorders (autism/asberger's syndrome, emotional disorders, bipolar disorder) and people who are not native to this country. And, the problem is not limited to the US, but reported similarly in many other countries. Brain memorizing the sound of tinnitus... sounds more like we have a 3 month trial before they permanently put us in their program. It might be beneficial for anyone in the three month window to make sure they don't let screeching noise in their ears outwardly or openly effect them if they want to be taken off the list.
