Hey Tara, People seem to progress at different rates. My tinnitus came on from a tumor on my auditory nerve, which I had removed leaving me deaf in that ear. This made the process of "habituation" harder.
Actually, in the deaf ear, the only thing I can hear is the tinnitus. So your condition is different than mine; you can mask your tinnitus with sound; which helps some sufferers.
