No, my tinnitus hasn’t gone away. Some days I can barely hear it, and other days it’s quite loud. But the good news is, it’s no longer much of a problem for me. In fact, I recently left my job at the hospital and took a position as a site manager in construction. I only wear ear protection...

I did not get any. I was told if I got the placebo and there was a significant hearing increase in others I could be given a real dose at a later date. So I decided to let them find out what works and doesn't.

I'll take you to dinner and won't run away after you tell me you have T!

This is wrong. I have mild hearing loss in one ear and was accepted in the trial and went for physical. I left the trial after some concerns with getting the half dose.

Exactly. Bi#:$ing at each other who has it worse or the docs don't know anything about tinnitus does nothing....zero weight. These threads mean nothing to the outside world. They rank right next to last week's paper.

Same here. I had it daily, now maybe once or twice a week.

My kids have been screaming at me for a year and half with acoustic trauma tinnitus. We can't hide from life with little kids....they don't understand and you just gotta not worry about it.

You lost your job?

I would definitely head to the doc asap to see if hearing is damaged and make sure the eardrum is structurally sound.
