I Was Feeling Better This Morning

So, one month into my tinnitus and I was feeling a little better this morning. For the first time my tinnitus seemed a bit quieter, I don't know if the volume changed or it was just me getting used to it and/or ignoring it more. That all changed when I was exposed to some loud machinery at work today for an hour or two. I wore hearing plugs but it didn't feel like enough, and it just set me off.

The ringing returned to normal volume after that so I wore hearing protection even in a quiet environment all day today and now my hearing feels...off similar to the way it did following my first acoustic trauma that set off the tinnitus.

I just don't know what to do anymore.
