I had my first stress related (one-sided) tinnitus in 2000 which started during my final exams at university. Like everybody else I went to see several ENTs, took all kind of drugs and supplements, did all kind of tests but at the end of the day nothing really helped.
My high pitched T stayed for around 7 years and until today I can't really remember how and when it disappeared....and I am not talking about habituation, it completely disappeared. Now, 10 years later after a year of severe stress at work (and maybe also due to taking some anti inflammatory) the little sucker suddenly showed up again. It's been 2 months now which have been terrible. T. again left sided mainly high pitched tone which changes slightly throughout the day. Same drill again, went to ENTs, did MRI, hearing tests etc. but so far no change.
Since I went through this horror show already once I now strongly believe that the best "cure" for T. is a balanced lifestyle. I started again with Yoga and meditation which really helps to relax and bring the noise down and I am quite hopeful that I will manage it a 2nd time.
I know it's said easily but you have to take your mind of the T. You will realise soon that the periods you are not hearing the T. will get longer and longer and maybe one day it will fade completely.
The reason I post here is really to give hope to everyone that T. can disappear even after several years.
I also have very bad days right now but knowing I managed it once already gives me a lot of hope that it will also go a 2nd time. Good luck to everyone and may the force be with you [emoji6]
