New Here — Tinnitus for About 15 Years — Sometimes My Tinnitus Goes Away

I have had tinnitus for about 15 years. What is odd, is that it never starts or stops while I am awake. If I go to bed with my head ringing, I might wake up without it ringing or not. If I wake up in the morning and my head is ringing, if I can go back to sleep it might not be ringing when I wake up. Crazy thing.

 

Welcome to the forum.

This is very strange, indeed, @Sbrooks. May I ask, what caused your tinnitus?

 

Welcome to TinnitusTalk!
We are a friendly bunch! (for the most )

So you have days when you do not hear the ringing???

Once

 

Yeah tinnitus is a strange thing. From my experience I sometimes am tinnitus free for like a day or two full days and then it starts again. If only someone could understand what's happening in my brain.

 

Oh that must be nice.... then again must be difficult to adjust because of its unpredictability??

 

Yeah, it's nice but sometimes I'm just like sitting in a chair a bit down waiting for it to come back. And yeah sometimes I kind of 'worry' that this will interfere with me habituating.
