Learning to Habituate Again After Spike

[Matt Kenyon]

Hi all. After over 10 years of relative peace my tinnitus returned with a vengeance after I was involved in an accident. At this point I'm not sure if it was the accident or the medication that caused the spike. Anyway the spike seems to have subsided now but the tinnitus is still consuming just like it was all them years ago.

I'm wondering if I sort of need to learn how to forget about it again and if anyone else has been in a similar situation?

Another point worth mentioning is I'm amazed that even though I can remember tinnitus being bad it's weird how the memory doesn't do the actual condition justice on just how fucking depressing this thing is.

Hi Matt, I'm very sorry to hear about your accident and the return of your tinnitus. I believe that something similar happened to me, albeit through very different circumstances. I created a thread about it a little earlier today. I'm too new to the world of bad tinnitus to give advice here, but if we did it before (habituated), we can do it again, maybe better the second time around. I hope that you feel better real soon.
