@Boy Helios laser is quite expensive, dunno for hyperbaric, I have to check. Also what is Vinco? Never heard that
Hearing Recovered, Tinnitus Went Away

No it's still the same. It's too late for me. I'm probably hanging myself soon, literally. Not just talking at this point. Life isn't worth it anymore. It is sad but true.
I already have the rope ready. Just got to make it happen.
are you doing any treatments now?
did you try anything? T can go down even if you treat it later.
MemberReally??
My Tinniuts
started coincidently
after sitting next to a WiFi Router.....mmm sospicious
no. there is no sound anymore. or basically no sound.
it's very faint. I am trying to listen for it but nothing is there.
if I cup my ears I can probably hear a faint tone, but it's highly faint.
this is not a case of me ignoring it. it went away.
I was in the Air Force for 21 years and had to qualify on weapons every few years (with ear protection), I was a deputy Sheriff for awhile and had to qualify ever 6 months (with hearing protection). The guns are still LOUD! In the USAF I also worked on the flight line - JETS, JETS and more JETS!
I now drive a School Bus taking wonderful 6-10 years olds to and from school/home.
Holy earwax Batman - I need help!
I've had a high pitched ringing/whistling (75% right/25% left) in my ears for years. Now that my back problem is corrected and I'm no longer in sever pain, I can concentrate on my T.

No, habituation is to disconnect T with anxiety and negative feelings. If Boy Helios cannot hear it, or vary faintly despite covering his ears and really monitoring, that means the loudness have decreased.
My T is the same if not worse since onset and I don't feel that bad about it, usually I don't hear it because I am not listening for it. But if I lay down in bed, I'll hear it without trying. That is a difference.

Maybe. It depends a lot on the damage, some could have had cells or nerves that died right away and for them, the possibility of recovering is smaller. I tried to take vitamins and stay away from a lot sounds but that didn't help at all. For my case I think I did a lot of damage under the noise trauma rather afterwards, I do believe some cells died afterwards but that was already beyond what I could save. Even if the nerves didn't die all together, even just a few "strings" within the nerv dying off can cause T so yeah, physical damage to the cells and nerves usually don't bounce back. Of course there are exceptions to everything and for some lucky, like you, it can be more or less cured/regenerated. I would like to have silence back but I am not waiting for it. I've made my peace that I will hear this noise the rest of my life, and that help me to let go of a lot of the pain and blame.
@Fangen
It depends if the hair cells are just "hurt" or really died. In the case of Boy Helios that had probably happened, hair cells were just hurt or maybe not. And hearing loss doesn't mean automatically Tinnitus.
In our case, it's an acoustic trauma, so there were "physical" damages.
Really nice that you have mild T, I mean if you only hear it in your bed that's better than nothing. I know we all wish silence back, but you're probably at peace with it cause it is not really intrusive in your daily life. You know what I mean?
I see the difference, between my ears. Left is T that only can be heard when laying in bed, and sometimes in the day but doesn't bother me. Which is not the case of my right, I could hear along the day.

Exactly
Of course damage does not equal T but most cases it does 
I would not rank my T mild, rather above average. I can hear it when I listen for it but my mind has stopped looking for it. It has been worse since onset but I have gotten used to the new volume.
My right is also the bad ear, haha
Like i said ...
It hasnt disappeared ...he can still hear it ..
I also said his perception has reduced in volume ...

it's not perception. it actually went away basically.
i can't hear it even if I try when there is at least some background noise. in complete silence, I can hear a faint sound when I try but rarely is there complete silence. but I also remember hearing this type of "tv buzz" sound prior to getting T so I may have always had that.
My T at its worst I would say was a 6/10. meaning I could hear it outside, but with normal background noise it was very noticeable. When I first got it, it would change pitch up and down constantly when I was sleeping. I literally could not sleep for the first few days after getting T. after about a month, the T was not noticeable outside, but still indoors. after about 2 months it basically disappeared.
Habituation is when you learn to ignore it. I basically was already doing that by the 2nd week. I was way more worried about the hearing loss rather than T.
i can hear a faint sound at times if I force myself too while plugging my ears. It's actually so faint I wouldn't even call it T. it's like .3/10 compared to my worst at 6/10.
I just tried it right now and could hear nothing. It's gone. T is curable. this is the message I'm trying to get across.
my T was probably curable because I suffered from sudden NERVE related hearing loss. Nerves regenerate but hair cells prob don't. but then again my ENT told me the T would likely never go away and I would probably not fully recover.
I really do think the GINKGO works. I recommend it but get PHARMA GRADE, not the stuff from walgreens or walmart.
if you suffered from noise induced taking magnesium and gingko right away can reverse the hearing loss. Studies have proven it IIRC.
there was one time a couple weeks in when I was at the club and got too much noise exposure and T went off the charts, prob. indicating a serious temp threshold shift. I took magnesium and gingko right away and it went down to normal levels the next day.
Anyways I hope you recover, but I'm posting my story for new sufferers of T. I want them to know it can be cured. my ENT said my T would never go away but my hearing would probably come back at least 80%. From my perception my hearing is back 98% on the bad ear and the T is 99.5% gone.
one thing I did was that I never panicked or tripped out. I think this lowered stress levels that allowed recovery.
I was in a bad situation with 50% hearing loss in one year and raging variable T on the left.
but I never stressed that much and did everything I could hoping something would work. I call it BRUTE FORCE THERAPY. I think I was driven to get better since I need my ears to make music.

oh yeah and hyperacusis can be WORSE than T. like regular noises just go BOOM and crash your ears.
the hyperacusis was the first to go, esp. after hyperbaric treatment

- Neuronmodulation suggests noise induced?
I actually had an audiogram up to 15KHz,they stopped because i couldn't hear anything above 14KHz.
The reason why an audiogram uses a limited spectrum is because the speech volume very rarely goes above
8KHz.
I didn't even notice it, but in the last few days the T completely disappeared. even the faint sound I heard in complete silence.
People have to stay positive. I never tripped out over it or stressed over it. T is curable. I'm proof. I had it for 4 months

It's actually curable,but that's mostly within a certain time period.
So all the alternative things you added might have helped or not.
I'm pretty sure mine is chronic now,although anti depressant takes the edge off
and makes the sound in my head go away.
yes for me it was within 4-5 months. It took that long to cure it.
when I first made this thread it was about 95% gone. I could hear some sounds in complete silence, but over the last few days even that is gone.
I actually credit pharma grade GINGKO BILOBA

It's been about 10 months now and I can say I've recovered fully.
maybe .5% faint sounds in total silence, but i'm sure everyone has that

It has nothing to do with Wi-Fi... Otherwise your T would increase while using your phone or your laptop. They emit Wi-Fi signals at roughly the same power than a WiFi router...
It's just that your router probably emit some high pitched electronic noise which can make your T react or you think this sound is a T. I know mine emit this high pitch sound.
now why isn't there more effort to treat hearing loss outside of an acute phase?
Theres evidence that suggest curing hearing loss on a biological level will reduce tinnitus
No doctors are right to much extent, some aspects of hearing loss are irreversible, I'm going to assume your SSNHL was brought abotu my otoxicity as well not acoustic trauma as recovery from otoxicity is much more successful then in cases of acoustic trauma.
But what you mentioned shows evidence for central gain mechanism of tinnitus being completely reversible in an acute phase.
