      I do not even know if I want to think about it. I know it fluctuates and there are severe days to live. But I must admit that I am having more good days per week. I was a few days on the coast and my tinnitus could be masked by the sound of the sea, something impossible 1 year ago.

      I do not consider it possible to return to the level I had prior to the concert, unfortunately. It seems that I lost hearing. But it is true that things tend to improve over time. I'm still interested in treatments like FX-322 and Mute Button, but with a lower level of anxiety.

      Maybe tomorrow I have a bad day and I regret this Post, but I know I'm a little better. At least better than 10 months ago.

      Thank you for being happy about my progress. I never told my family that I was a little better, because I know there is still a long way to go. I promise that I will try not to disappoint myself in those days when my tinnitus reappears with vengeance. If everything goes well, the spikes will be less frequent.

      Mmmm not really. I think I have some hyperacusis but it is mild and stable. My tinnitus can be severe (bad days) or moderate (good days). What I have is a very big aversion to loud sounds, probably because of some psychological issue. This aversion intensifies on good days, because I really want to take care of my ears and not experience a setback.

      I understand the psychological issue. Any loud sound is a possible threat to the remaining quality in our lives.
