What Is Your Tinnitus Habituation Story?

Here's mine (still on the road to recovery):

I got tinnitus after my ear wax blocked my ear canal. I went to urgent care to have it removed but by then it was too late . I went back to college and had pretty much no problem with it. It was pretty much non-existent and I'd only hear it if I had noise cancelling headphones with nothing playing.

Recently, I had my first massive spike (presumably due to allergies) and it became really bad. I could hear it over people, music, running, etc.

After about a month or so it's finally subsiding, still super loud but not enough to keep me from grinding through my day.

Has anyone else gone through a spike like this? Were you able to recover to your original amount? Did it take you weeks, months, years, decades?
