I'm sorry man. I'm sure you're sick of hearing "just hang in there" and "give it time" but it really is all you can do. You're making progress and that's what counts <3
I'm starting to lose hope that I'm going to get rid of this by myself. I think I need a cure. I'm closing in on 3 years, comments that "T usually resolves by itself within 6-12 months" is starting to look like a joke to me. But I still believe.
@twa thank you! @Lurius Keep the faith! One of the big things Ive learned from this is T is such a crapshoot recovery-wise. How everyone can have vastly different experiences with the intensity/sounds theyre hearing/reactivity or not/recovery is ridiculous. So dont take to heart the 6-12 month thing. Its not like youre missing a leg and theres no way its coming back. With T, theres hope it can still right itself!
I hear you there. I only have T in my left ear, which is sort of the thing that has saved me from suicide so far. I have two tones, one comes and goes. My T isn't reactive in nature. But when one of the sounds cranks up, I get positively miserable.
I'm so sorry to hear that this has pushed you that close. I'll continue to hope that it gets easier for you and you have increased periods of quiet. I hate the phrase "it could be worse" because this is NOT a competition over who has it worse, but I would try to focus on the 2 positives you mentioned: it's only in one ear and isn't reactive.
