New Tinnitus — Is There Any Hope For My Tinnitus Going Away?

[Rief]

I really am trying to relax, I have had a few anxious nights because of the ringing, but my reasoning is that if I can do more stuff at the start of this to get rid of it, I want to. I'm really trying a lot of different things, and don't want to try something that could make it worse instead of better. I'm hoping trying to do a lot of things at the start could get rid of it. I also talked about doing AM-101, and am getting information in the mail here in a day or two to see if I can get the injections

I attempted to do an MRI a few days back to see if something was going wrong, but I kept moving so I have to reschedule with a sedation. Yesterday we got tickets to a free concert, and I've had cotton balls in my pocket to help with the noise, but when we got there and the music was loud I was so afraid my T would get worse that I started to panic and we had to leave. Ugh. -_-

You don't need to panic just call it common sense.
If you really want to attend concerts you can just get good earplugs that reduce the decibel level by 20-30 and sit somewhere relatively far from speakers that's all there is to it.
I can see you're still anxious and stress and that's ok I've had mine for 2 months and it still scares me sometimes.
But you see the thing is, being scared clouds your mind, it makes you forget all logic and suddenly a happy ending isn't a possibility.
I got scared once when I failed math and I had to do a make up test which consisted of an entire year of math.
I prepared, I knew it all but I for some reason was so scared I threw up 3 times before the test because I thought the professor was going to fail me on purpose.
I had no reason in believing that in all likely hood I was going to pass and I did I even got a C instead of a D which is what everyone gets on make up tests.
Now I know a C doesn't sound much but this professor is really hardcore about math I mean really really hardcore.
Out of the 200 students he teaches to 180 have D's 15 C's and 5 A's.
It's not that he isn't a good professor he just stresses us alot about math and gives us really hard stuff so we are prepared when we're at college.
What I'm trying to point out is it's the same with Tinnitus you and me have no reason to believe it's permanent.
LOADS of people have had it for different reasons Noise induced,stress induced,tubes,neck,TMJ and LOADS of people have had it simply go away with time all they did was keep relaxed and go on about their lives.
Whenever I start feeling really panicky I read a list I made of all the reasons why it will and won't go.
Reasons it will go:
-I'm young, young people heal a lot better
-First time I've had it
-No history of noise abuse except for headphones but they never went pass 80-85 dB
-It goes for loads of people

Reasons it won't go:
I got nothing, the only reasons I have that mine won't go is that for some people it stays, that's it the sole reason my Tinnitus might not go is because for some it doesn't.

Just try your best to sleep normal, eat normal, don't stress too much I know not stressing at all is impossible early on but trust me it gets better, look at me I went from suicidal to mildly stressed in a month or two, in two more months I'll be stressed a lot less.

The thing I've noticed with a lot of stories and people who have had theirs go is, they were so relaxed and habituated and didn't care so much that when it did go away they barely noticed it if they even did.

-Get as much sleep as you can
-Get magnesium
-Get vitamins and minerals as they're very important for the body
-Do some physical activities it helps loads
-Start doing the things you really like doing

When you do all this, you'll find that Tinnitus starts losing it's grip on you and in doing that it lessens a lot.
Just remember thousands of people have theirs go away, also remember that you have PLENTY of time for it to go.
Tinnitus is only considered chronic after 1 year and even then it's not chronic it just has a less likely chance of going, I'm not saying count every day down to a year for it going away I'm just saying relax because you have loads of time for it to go.
Even if it doesn't which is FINE after a while you won't care about it, it'll settle down and it'll be just like any other noise in your life.
I'm not worried about my Tinnitus because of the sounds I'm stressed because it's not normal for me, it reminds me of that awful gig and how bad my luck was then, it tells me that there's something wrong (when in fact there isn't Tinnitus is a symptom not a disease).
Once I lose any emotion attached to Tinnitus I won't be bothered any-more ofcourse it can just "poof" go away before I even habituate.

Stay strong do the things I've told you to do and I promise you YOU WILL FEEL BETTER, habituation is inevitable.
Best of luck, we'll talk again once ours is gone
