Honestly, it should be considered malpractice for doctors to tell someone with new-onset tinnitus that it is permanent. In the vast majority of cases, that is not true. I do not know why this continues to be the standard line. The truth is that tinnitus caused by a one-time acoustic event has a...

I’m so sorry, @PVR. There are many stories out there just like yours, where people had extended exposure to lawn equipment such as leaf blowers and lawn mowers and eventually healed completely after one and a half to two years, even if they saw no improvement at the one-year mark.
