Why Do They Always Say That There's a Big Chance for Tinnitus to Go Away in the First Months?

@GSC You still got a shot at this,man. I wish I had worn ear plugs to that party because I wouldn't be here listening to this shit right now.

Yours could still go away too hopefully. You never know... I'm hoping mine fades away since this is my first bout of Tinnitus, but I got really clocked by a hard acoustic trauma, so I don't know.

I'd like to think so too. I do have days where it's almost gone, or at least so low I can't really be bothered by it. This was after 1.5 years of constant fuckery. I'm really hoping MuteButton, Neuromod, Lenire whatever the fuck it is, is serious shit and can release some of us from this fiasco!

All theories and not based on anything. I was really hopeful of treatments and cures but now I am not.

I do think it's damage and probably related to the cochlear nucleus or cochlea. Why don't all deaf people have tinnitus? That is the mystery that creates confusion and doubt with the theory of hearing loss triggering tinnitus.

Maybe, it depends how you lost it or how the ear DNA was damaged or?

I dunno but why are people with mild t in such a joking mood in the forums all the time?!?

That's smart, tinnitus and hearing loss are closely linked, but that's because the reason for tinnitus is probably hearing loss resulting from over-exposure to noise within a short time, and people with hearing loss that occurred over a very long term period of time did not have this over-exposure to noise. This is why veterans with hearing loss often have tinnitus, but your grandfather who has trouble hearing does not have tinnitus.

The reason for mild tinnitus would be from a single incident of over-exposure to noise such as a loud concert, whereas a veteran has experienced multiple much more such blows of over-exposure to noise which is why their tinnitus is often chronic. This is why the ones with mild tinnitus are so happy- because they know their tinnitus keeps on improving and will eventually go away. To them tinnitus is a joke and their the reason researchers don't focus on curing tinnitus since the condition is claimed by these asswholes to be no big deal.

This is an old thread. I just realized I posted in it three years ago. In the beginning I was told the same thing. It never went away for me, but the hope that it would kept me going during the worst of it.

People with severe tinnitus joke too. Being gloomy doesn't help matters. Most people on forums probably do have severe tinnitus.

Did the severity of your tinnitus improve since 3 years ago, or is it still exactly the same?

That's difficult to quantify / explain. In terms of sharpness and how grating it is, it doesn't seem as bad (most of the time). For the first two years I was acutely aware of it every waking moment and it was torture. I can ignore it for much longer periods now. That being said in some respects it's actually gotten worse even though my reaction to it has improved. I started out with one very high pitched tone that I couldn't mask, now I have multiple tones that seem to vary in severity.

I can say now, that it's not the ringing that bothers me the most anymore, it's the hyperacusis that affects my life the most. If it weren't for the hyperacusis and extremely reactive nature my ears seem to have I think I would have been able to mostly move on by now. The continual fear of making it worse and having to avoid loud noises is exhausting.

It sounds like your tinnitus improved since it is no longer as sharp. Your conflicting statement that "in some respects it gotten worse even though my reactiom to it has improved" is bewildering. I would think multiple tones that vary in severity is better than a single tone that is super sharp? I'm not a believer in habituation, I think it only applies to mild tinnitus.

The single tone is still there. I don't know if it's actually quieter or if my reaction to it has changed. I will say that it seems to vary in severity now, before it was pretty much bad all the time.

When somebody posts here for the first time about having tinnitus for at least 2 months...

Why do other posters say... "Your tinnitus is very new, the chances for it to go away are big"

????

Is it true that tinnitus can go away? No matter what (in the first months)
Is it a theory?
Or pure sugar coating?

I know three people this happened to outside the forum. Two after a few months and one after a year.

WHAT???? I'm pretty sure ibuprofen is what contributed to me damaging my ears in the first place.

I used to "eat" a lot of ibuprofen too for neck pain. Not sure if it did damage to my inner ear hair cells though. All hindsight at this point.

I've been taking meloxicam 7.5 mg lately. Maybe that's contributing to my damn static in my ears/head? That might also explain the fluid retention problem that I've been having possibly?

Found this:

Ibuprofen vs. meloxicam (Mobic) quick comparison of differences

• Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, and others) and meloxicam (Mobic) are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation.
• Common side effects of meloxicam and ibuprofen that are similar include:
  • Rash
  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Drowsiness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Constipation
  • Heartburn
• Serious side effects of ibuprofen and meloxicam that are similar include fluid retention (edema), blood clots, heart attacks, high blood pressure(hypertension), and heart failure.
• Both ibuprofen and meloxicam may interact with lithium (Lithobid, Eskalith), blood pressure medications, methotrexate (Rheumatrex, Trexall), aminoglycosides, anticoagulants, cyclosporine, furosemide (Lasix), and thiazide diuretics.
