I'm sure H is the brain's way to protect damaged ears from more harm. If the H goes, great, but stay on your guard, or the T will spike.

The docs says ears don't regenerate (we know better!) Plus I suppose the brain is rewiring itself, reassigning hairs to higher frequencies.

Gradually hearing cymbals again! Although they don't sound the same as I remember them. But they're coming back...

@MarkX Also have non-somatic hiss in L ear. Got T through years of drumming and one particular noise trauma last Oct.

@MarkX All this somatic T has completely disappeared twice for 8 hours or so after consuming large amounts of curry and alcohol.

@MarkX ... and I get a hissing crunch in my ears with each footstep. This can also be almost removed with the same actions.

@MarkX I can largely stop the static buzz and pulsating whoosh with neck movements or pressing down on my cranium.

8 months in. H is much better :-) somatic hissing/static pulsating T still bad :-(

Curry+alcohol *completely* silenced my somatic T last night. How? Back again today though...

Rare to find a beautiful song about T... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiC-JAND_u8

Watched the film "All Is Lost" last night. Great film, plus the ocean and storm sounds were very soothing for lug-holes :-)

Damn, def increase in hissing in both ears today after foolishness 3 days ago. Delayed spike. Slid down a snake to where I was 2 months ago.

I regard all that as the new 'silence' and I'll be happy if I get to that stage permanently.

Hi Bill Even when the hiss has 'gone' there's always something- the softest hiss or an ambience which is not quite a tone but not silent.

Hiss disappear for an hour or so today, so back to intermittent :-)

L ear hiss intermittent until yesterday, when somebody whacked a bass/kick drum before I could protect myself.
