    3/3:Just wanted to come on here and update.. It doesn't always resolve itself. Ive read that for most people it gets better with time, for me it didn't. Astonishingly, I don't have tinnitus and I don't think I have hearing loss so at least I have that. Also, I get some pain but not that much...
