Lyme Disease and Epstein Barr Virus — Adverse Impact on Tinnitus?

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've posted here - primarily because I was progressing well on my habituation journey. Until I recently contracted Lyme disease. And then Epstein Barr Virus. It's been challenging to say the least but thank God I am able to have medical care for the Lyme and EBV and have been making slow, but positive progress. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for my tinnitus. It seems that all the habituation progress I had made has unraveled because the tinnitus has definitely gotten much loud and more annoying than it was prior to Lyme/EBV. I continue my mindfulness exercises daily, and I believe they are enabling me to cope.

Has anyone had any experience with either Lyme or EBV and managing adverse impact on your tinnitus? I'm really hoping that once the Lyme and EBV are brought under control, my tinnitus goes along with it.

Would be very grateful for any learnings or experience anyone can share who has had to deal with the same issue.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
