      Didn’t hear my tinnitus even once today. I’m sure it’s still there, but I’m not going to look for it.

      Hey there. Thanks for the follow! I haven't seen many recent posts from you, but your last two profile updates are fairly positive. Hope things have become only better since then!

      Tinnitus went from center of head to just right ear. Trying to stay calm about this. Seems to be staying this way.

      Two years this week. I’ve got undeniable signs of improvement/habituation. Bad days mixed in there, but increasing optimism for the future.

      Best tinnitus day in 18 months. Hours when I couldn’t hear it, even when looking. Hoping this trend continues.

        Can you hear it in a quiet room (or when you wear earplugs in a quiet room)?

        Never is such a strong word, but sadly I feel deep within that we are a long way from an answer. The brain is super complex and still a mystery in many areas.

        What matters is the monthly trend and the global lows. Setbacks are irrelevant as far as your long term outlook is concerned.

      One year today. Things have improved slightly. I question everyday how long I can do this. Faking happiness as much as I can for my family.

      Was stuck with a needle at work from a known IVDU. Put on PEP for the exposure. Terrified of it damaging my ears. No win situation.

      Nearly ten months in. Absolutely miserable. I’m drowning here. I don’t have the mental makeup to beat this. Obsessed with this sound.

        Understandable. I just had a daytime nap and my noise came on strong when I woke up. I was doing quite well today until then. Maybe I can knock it out somehow.

        My psychiatrist called Dr. Shulman in NY. She said I can call him too. At least I have some gabapentin and clonazepam.

        No, it was a Boeing. Ninth row. Second flight was a regional jet with the engines far at the back of the plane. Loudest thing on that flight was the PA speaker right above my head. Both flights were pretty short.

        Is it completely gone, or can you still hear it in a quiet room or when you wear earplugs?
