Just to add on. During the past few weeks I had 2 or 3 loud tones then out of the blue I would get a 10 second period of fleeting Tinnitus that would take all the tones away when it finished. Ears re-callibrating? 0.o

progress regarding what symptom(s)?

@tniuf mainly hyperacusis. My ears can tolerate more moderate noise now and spikes are becoming more harder to trigger. So some type of stability is starting to form. I live close to a airport and jets flying over my apartment no longer spike my ears

The more you recover, the more your ears/brain can tolerate. The fact that your fleeting tinnitus is clearing up tones is a great sign - I think your brain is figuring this out well.

Take things slowly though, it must be so tempting to expose more.

sometimes that is what helps and it seems to be working for you :) gradually doing it over a period of time in increments is making sounds more tolerable to you and the brain/auditory system.

Not the first time I’ve heard of improvements from exposure to loud noises.

Reminds me of this thread: [URL="https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/hyperacusis-and-tinnitus-improved-by-90.48458/#post-643439"]Hyperacusis (and Tinnitus) Improved by 90%[/URL]

Commending you for this! Awesome job :)

So good to hear! @Sammy0225 - there I think is a lot to be said about desensitising the cells against noise using sound so they aren't so sensitive and reacting. Looks like its working for you!
This definately was working for me too in small doses until recently, so can work for some reactive tinnitus

@DeanD @ErikaS @ZFire @Strawberryblonde @Jupiterman thanks for the positive vibes. I think my story might be coming to an end here on TTalk. Well.. if progress keeps continuing. Sending good vibes my friends

@Sammy0225 - good to see someone escaping this hamster wheel!
Look forward to reading a brand new success story in the near future
Happy for you!

Thanks @DeanD I'm hoping a swift recovery for you also my friend.

Controlled healing allowed my TTTS to relax and in response of my TTTS relaxing reactivity went away.

Once I had that taken care of I worked on H when I got H to start relaxing I got the winding up Tinnitus to relax. So daily spikes are becoming less and less.. It had to go in this exact order for QOL to be improve

@Sammy0225 That’s amazing news!! Gives me hope that I can also improve. Do you mind me asking what you mean by controlled healing? My TTTS is my most bothersome symptom so I’m always looking for ways to help it get better. Do you think time, patience, and anxiety reduction played a part in your progress as well (regarding the TTTS)?

When I had H and T, it was because of overprotection. The only thing when you have H is to go slowly out. It will trigger T first and then nothing. That is what happened to me for H.

Yay @Sammy0225 im so glad to see you healing my friend :’)
