Tinnitus Gone in the Morning, Returns When I Think About It — Help Me Please

[Hastune]

I don't know what is happening with my Tinnitus lately. I wake up in the morning and it has gone but returns when I think about it.

Progress occurs only when it is not the focal point of your life.


Now, go out and live your life, protect your gift of hearing, and stop thinking about your tinnitus.

I too am struggling with this.

Some tones seem to occur only when I think about them, so I am hopeful that this may start extending to more of them. However, it's like saying 'Don't think of an orange' (I bet you're now thinking about one). If I wake up and it's quiet I think "great, no T" and BOOM, seconds after that, there it is! Beyond frustrating.

Same here. I can wake up with low hiss instead of ringing and said to myself "I can live with this", then sat down in front of computer, check news, and the ringing will be back before I even start thinking about it. It's a crushing feeling! At times, it can go longer but rarely last a morning. I'm really hoping that this is a sign of habituation and the ringing will just stay longer in the subconscious.

Sounds like if you give it another 3-6 months, it will be gone for good. Just make sure not to hurt your ears again.

not thinking about Tinnitus is easier said than done
