Good for you.
I've always thought that the ability to cope was inversely correlated with intrusiveness/severity, but I know some people disagree (I've read their claim on this very forum).

Congratulations on habituating. It also took me around 3-4 months. Now, go on and enjoy life to the fullest, yet avoid loud noise exposure!

Congratulations on habituating.

I wouldn't call that habituation: he hasn't habituated to his initial stimulus. The stimulus went down in severity, so it's less bothersome to him, to the point he doesn't care anymore.
It's still very good for him, but that's very different from habituation, IMHO.
