Hi Kiran and a warm welcome to the forums.
for lots of people with tinnitus it can go away and usually by having tinnitus under six months as a guide and anything longer their is more chance it might stay ..lots of love glynis

My uncle had it for 7 months.. After that it's gone... And i know many people whose T gone after 2 years also... So how can you decide.. If we are having it for more than 6 months means it stays for life long...

So hope that has helped you understand better...lots of love glynis

Hi Kiran,
Unfortunately my tinnitus was caused by Menieres Disease that is a progressive disease and along with other side effects its left me with hearing loss and sever bilateral tinnitus that wont ever go.
I wear duel purpose hearing aids and it helps me to cope better as takes the edge off my sound.
I have had it many years now and I push hard stay happy .
How are you coping with your sound ?...lots if love glynis

I have been sitting in silent places to get used to it... I have mild conductive hearing loss... Does that mean it goes away?

I don't have vertigo or anything.. I have lesss hearing loss.. Came to know by audio gram test... Chances of getting better are more for me i think... What do you say...

I'm new to this also. From everything I've been told tinnitus CAN improve/go away on its own under 6 months. After 6 months its still possible also just a little less likely. Even if it doesn't go away most of us learn to deal with it, habituate in 12 months time or so. There are treatments if your T is especially bothersome, like tinnitus retraining therapy, hearing aids, cognitive behavioral therapy etc. If you are interested in the treatments I believe you should seek an audiologist's help. I know how scary this can be and especially feeling alone as I've only been dealing with this for 7 weeks but hang in there.. things CAN get better and even if they don't (to repeat what I've been told here) WE WILL BE OKAY.

I have been suffering from 5 months... I'm feeling very good right now.. Because it's reduced a lot.. I know it may come back... But i should stay strong

I'm approaching 8 months and still the same noise level (about 6 out of 10 in my right ear).

When I workout and run every other day, it makes a world of difference and my whole mood about T changes. -- It really helps me stop focusing on it.

I remember being very very depressed with money problems about 5 years ago (no more though) so I know first hand that life can always be much worse even if you don't have T.

Hang in there everyone!
