@Tezcatlipoca T lowered for them to a level that they can say "it doesn't bother me." They have to remain careful, as noise exposure (long car drives) can still spike it, but within a day it still always comes down and because of the years of experience, they do not worry about temporary spikes. It always comes down eventually. I agree, we will overcome!

This is a beautiful post. Your parents sound amazing! Bless them both. :) I also totally agree with their advice - they clearly know tinnitus very well. You’re in good hands @Anniz. I hope yours settles down too. I’m sure it will. I had super loud T to begin with, and mine no longer bothers me. You’ll get there. <3

@Steph1710 Thank you for the encouraging words! I am grateful for them indeed, of course hoping everyday that we all have freedom from this. Now when I visit them, I don't have to be in the room worrying if someone will do a loud noise.. We all just want to enjoy that quiet volume TV. :) Bless your heart Steph. <3

Noticed some people call that "morse code". Good word choice there. At least it's not unknown!

You’ve just described my tinnitus perfectly. Don’t worry, even I’ve managed to 90% habituate to all these random beeps, tones, and pitches. And I’m the most noise sensitive person around! :)

@Steph1710 The first days I was extremely sensitive to sound as well.. still am but the sensitivity seems to be fading. Sound is tolerable level currently. Sometimes louder. I also have a thing called Semi-Patulous Eustachian Tube, where I can hear my own voice ridiculously loud. This is occasional though like after excersise.
