Is My Brain Calling the Shots Now?

[Amelia]

Just thinking outloud here, my T has been more intrusive for about a month now. Louder, harder to mask, harder to deal with. I'm about 10 months in ...

So I'm wondering if I've had some sort of "shift" and now it's my brain calling the shots rather than my ears - is in ingrained in me now?

My opinion is: our brains call the shots on perception from pretty early on. I do think our tinnitus has up and down cycles. Hang in there. Do not think you have had some sort of 10-month shift tht now means you are in a permanent down cycle.

Have you been more stressed about your tinnitus within the last month? Especially before it seemed more intrusive?
