It hasn't.

Unless you need them - they save some people.

He did not listen to me for the last nearly 1.5 years. Hope you get better results.

Yup I gave myself a botch micro suction and got all that back in 2022

@Sammy0225 how is your T doing these days and all your other symptoms?

Tinnitus has no limit.

Hard to say, just sad, I’m just hoping to start seeing improvement, pre worsening my T was improving daily, so improving is all I’ve known about this condition

Acuustic trauma first and that T was reducing daily then worsened by Microsuction

Is it an actual whooshing sound or is it just your tinnitus pulsating?

Bc whooshing would be pulsatile. Probably your blood pressure rising in your head when you bend over. You could bring it up the next time you're at the doc.

I get that too. Not just from the shower but also when I get home after a busy day. If I don't listen for it it's almost quiet for like a minute. Then my brain finds it and the volume goes up instantly. I think habitutation is when the "silence" lasts indefinitely. People who've habituated say they can sort of choose between hearing it and not hearing it.

@Anomalous It's residual inhibition. Certain sounds can temporarily reduce or eliminate tinnitus in some individuals. It usually only last seconds.

yeah i was like that too, turned out my sinuses were inflammed and the hot shower helped open them up.

It's nearly 2 months in for me too. Rooting for you! Hopefully you see some improvements soon.

@weehiru Microsuction buddies :/

Yea quitting it is hard. I didn't enjoy vaping as much as smoking. I loved smoking. Really took the edge off of my anxiety even though it's a stimulant. Vaping at least mimicked smoking, but it wasn't the same. It was the "safer" alternative at the time.

I've since turned to coffee as my crutch of choice - Cold brew and espresso

@kingsfan Relapsed, had to hit the vape I went a good 11 hours without touching it. Tomorrow though, I will finally put down the vape for good

Cutting cold turkey might not be the solution. Maybe try and slowly cut down less and less.

I find it hard to fathom the stupidity of ENTs....It's like they have no clue whatsoever. Should be fired for what they did to you.

@Juliane it’s really difficult to accept what has happened when it wasn’t my fault and the original T was going away:(
