Wanted to share my story to whom are struggling. Four years ago, I was exposed to a loud noise which started an anxious period with tinnitus symptoms worsening over following weeks. Constant ringing in left ear, and hyperacusia. It really got so bad I couldn't sleep more than 1-2 hours a night, and I truly was spiralling down. Most of that was due to desperation and anxiety, which is easy to see in retrospect. But when you are in that situation, where you think the life as you knew it is gone, it is hard to keep your calm. Now, after four years, I rarely notice the tinnitus any longer. It still comes and goes, but doesn't really bother me.
Try to hang in there, my fellow sufferers. Brain is a weird organ, and from what I learned stressing over the symptoms only makes them harder. Easier said than done, I know.
