First 6 months were like this both times for me. My guess is that when you hit month 7 things will start to settle…one foot in front in the next until then…you can do it!

@Barry098 , did you have reactive tinnitus? Did it spike easily and from what? How bad what your hyperacusis and to what degree so you still have it? Did your tinnitus get new tones and them get better? Was Hyperacusis following a similar pattern?

You have to sleep. When i don't sleep, my tinnitus is horrendous. It will just keep getting worse.

I second @aura, sleep is paramount. I know that yours is very loud, @Freerunner, and that obviously impacts one's ability to sleep. What impacts my sleep a lot is anxiety; if the slightest anxiety is present, I will have a very hard time sleeping. So getting it under control is always a good call if the tinnitus causes anxiety.

My initial bout of T and H lasted about 18 months. When it initially came on, it worsened everyday for about the first 4-6 months. It was catastrophic level T and severe H. But, it eventually resolved 100%. I’m back here again because I got a little complacent…a mistake a deeply regret!
