@nmackintosh Did your tinnitus decrease at all from the initial volume?

Here's to hoping! I'm just practicing patience and ear protection in the mean time. :)
Wow, thanks for letting me know. 12 years later! I'm sure you thought you were out of the woods by then!!
Great to know on your first. What happened the 2nd time?

Any improvements in your T? Almost been a year for you.
Thank you! It did for me in this moment! Happy Christmas!
3 months in, hoping for another reduction in volume
2nd reduction- Dec15 after taking 50 mg of zinc. Reduced 5%. Less noticeable above background sounds, less intrusive in quiet places.
First reduction in volume-Nov15. Reduced in volume 25%. T more easily masked, more easily tuned out at work. Very noticeable in quiet space
Ears hurt, felt full, extremely sensitive to sound. T was intrusive, could be heard above TV and was scary in quiet places
acoustic trauma - pneumatic staple gun for several minutes on 8/25, T began two weeks later on 9/10
