My Success Story (So Far) — Tinnitus, Hyperacusis, TTTS

[SadMan]

For the first 6-8 weeks I had 3-4 hours sleep on a good night. I could hear my tinnitus over the TV, in the car and over conversation. I was walking round like a zombie, I couldn't concentrate on work and my relationships were suffering.

Oh my God. Our tinnitus is very similar. This article has given me hope. It has been 69 days since the acoustic trauma. I still hear my tinnitus everywhere. After how many months did your healing begin?

Do you hear yours over everyday noises? Mine was mild to start with but it has further reduced.

My anxiety towards it made it worse though. Once I'd accepted it and started to sleep better, everything gradually got easier.

Do you hear yours over everyday noises?

Yes, unfortunately my ringing is so violent. Today is the 80th day, no improvement . I continue to wait patiently.

I know it's hard, but you will adapt to the noise, and it might even reduce over time. But you'll have to wait 18-19 months or so.
