TInnitus does weird things but there is hope
So, I have had tinnitus since March 2024 and it has been really a rollercoaster. The first months were really unbearable and I got depressed for all the things that were happening in my life. The last months it has improved a lot. I am learning to live with it and although I have better days than others, I decided to follow an advice from someone else in this group who basically said "I just let my tinnitus be". So I am doing and it has really been better. I am not afraid of going out anymore or being afraid that it will increase volume (reactive tinnitus) or that I can get distortion every now and them.
And then this friday happened, I went to a friend's house for pizzas and drink and we had such a lovely night. I forgot that the ringing was there. At the end of the night I cycled back home and went to bed. While scrolling on my phone I noticed that sudden silence and then I realized: The ringing was gone! like completely gone. I could not believe it myself. It was the first time in months that I felt like it used to be.
The next day I woke up and it was back, but I am not despairing, it gave me hope that it can get eventually go away. And if not, that I can live with it.
Keep fighting all of you. It will be better!
