It does not seem anyone knows. They say the same about noise induced tinnitus, and yet in some cases people improve. Reversal or at least great reduction in volume is my only hope.
They say sometimes it's irreversible, sometimes it's not. As usual they are groping in the dark
I feel like if a medication caused enough damage to hair cells for them to die off, thus creating T, the argument could be that the hair cell die off or whatever was physically damaged in the ear is permanent. Could this then lead to "permanent T"? Possibly, but the T itself could change over time and, hopefully, for the better as the brain acclimates.
@ErikaS Sad face. Lol.
@ErikaS that would lead me to believe that the Michigan device won't be much help for my case. ;(
@Ryan Scott What?? Lol.
@Ivanom that's what my ENT said. He said "maybe it will go away, maybe it won't." My audiologist said usually it's permanent after 6 months but she also said she's seen it go away after that, but the chances are lower.
@gameover I am sad we have to walk this journey together, but I am glad that we don't have to do it alone.
