Hey! it helps by saying that here. That's a first.

it might never get better, however, you may pay less attention to it over time and thus be less disturbed

Because you read TT on a daily basis.

@Kratos I stopped reading TT on a daily basis for several months, and it did not improve my tinnitus at all.

Hang in there Jurgen, maybe Elon Musk will come through for us!

@SilverSpiral I'm not talking about a volume reduction or something like that, I'm talking about getting less bothered by it (which is getting better too).

@Kratos, I think for mild T that is past the acute stage (meaning "habituation" is their only readily available treatment), you may be correct. Avoiding reading about tinnitus for some period of time may help with "habituation".

Most of the long-term, noise-induced success stories that I came across report erratic progress over the recovery period. I'm holding on to this hope as I approach the six-month mark. I've had a few quieter days here and there, but the bad days are still with me.

@Casper out of curiosity, what is the longest term noise induced "success story" that you have come across? I'm still holding out hope well over a year in...

@SilverSpiral, I think there are a few posts in the Success Stories where the OP recovered after two years. I've also spoken to another member here who is aware of two people who recovered after three years and four years, respectively (all noise-induced).
