Im fairly new to the tinnitus, i got mine back in 2013 december right before new year.
My question is, has anyone EVER been cured from this hell? Is there any chance that you'll ever be free from it? Is there any possibility that it could just go away at some point in my life?
At the moment im trying my luck at the acupuncture, but after 3 weeks it doesn't seem to help very much.
+ could tinnitus ever develop through hasch/weed/THC?
It depends on the underlying cause; infections in the ear, wax build up, TMJ are among the causes that have a very high probability of going away when the underlying issue is addressed. For example, a buddy of mine had tinnitus for five months until a nasty ear infection cleared up; he is T free now.
Permanent damage to one of the many components involved in the system that is your hearing is another issue; overtime, I believe the body can heal (to a point) if you do all the right things for it, however, it likely will never go away (completely) in cases where a component of the hearing system has been damaged.
Before you get too discouraged, I do know this -- I'm not exactly sure the cause of my T; however, it has diminished significantly (in volume and frequency) since the onset (one year ago). Furthermore, I have habituated (so I don't really react to it anymore -- a very large contributing factor to its diminished state). It causes no anxiety; it stops me from almost nothing (although I stay away from prolonged noise unless I have ear plugs); it has little rule over me. I don't like it, I think it's weird, I know others don't really get it, but it really only matters (to me) about as much as the click I hear in my knee when I go down the stairs first thing in the morning (big whoopie deal). That is the point you want to get to if you come to realize yours is permanent -- and if it's not permanent (woot!).
At the moment, your T is a living hell -- I hated it so much and thought my life was either over all together or would be so severely debilitated that I would just want it to be over (it sucked!!). I had no idea that my life could be what it is now while suffering from T -- and to paraphrase
@Dr. Nagler, "I no longer 'suffer' from T"; I do not (and cannot) consider my life to be one in suffering (because of T).
However, I certainly understand what you are going through; had anyone told me (last year) I would no longer be 'suffering' from T I would have told them to 'bugger off, you obviously don't understand what I'm going through!'.
But, I'm here to tell you -- I don't suffer from T anymore (even though I have it). So, who cares if there is a cure or not (there likely will be one day) when your T means little to nothing to you anymore? And, no, I am NOT making little of your situation (or T); I am just saying it can be managed to the point that you get your life back!
Prayers!
