mazhar,
It is not really possible to tell whether a short term change for good will be permanent. The activity of the nervous system can be quite variable, so it may as well only be temporary. The fact that you have this noise sensitivity (hyperacusis as it is called) shows that it is probably still not 100% OK again. But definitely, in the long term these problems should gradually fade away, so don't worry too much about it.
A holiday could indeed be a good idea. Relaxation always helps here.

Re: new member
hi just to update,i have had a good few days,with hardly any noise and its been great,but once again,just when i thought it was getting better,a duller,slightly pulsating noise is being heard 
not that prominent during the day but more so as i go to sleep,but i still manage to sleep.....sometimes i am confused if its the phantom noise or just another noise created by light bulbs,tubes,etc....ears still a little blocked but i have an appointment with ENT,next month......

Re: new member
Hi Thomas,
i am still having problems coping,at times the tinnitus goes away,and then comes back with a different noise or sound.Currently it seems worst in the morning but better by night but then i have trouble sleeping,thinking the sound is still there or will be back....i know i should try and ignore the sound,and it is pretty mild, only when there is mostly silence can i hear it..or as usual if i focus on it...thanks for all your comments it all helps.

Hi mazhar,
Don't get discouraged if there is no improvement for a while or even a slight setback. It can happen at any time, but especially now during the winter months. You have to think in longer terms (several months), and then the condition will surely improve overall. I know it is sometimes difficult, but getting anxious or depressed because of it only makes things worse.

Thanks Thomas,its just so depressing,when things are going well,and then it seems we are back to stage 1....... .....today is the worse it has been been,i did go out and clear the snow off the drive and exert myself,but then the high pitched tone,which seems to change frequencies was loudest it has been....it just knocks one out,and you start thinking there is no hope....sorry i know people have having it worse than i,but thats the way i feel at the moment....

mazhar,
I know exactly how it is. In the first few months the condition can be quite unpredictable, and in the winter (with the cold and windy weather) it can be especially tricky. It can take up to 6 months before things start to settle down, so you have to be patient.

Re: new member
Once again,thanks Thomas for your help,i know its not easy and it its just not knowing what is the normal,what i should expect,why it changes ,etc it all the unknowns that i have no control over...i know you have been through worse,and from what i am reading in forums some people's tinnitus is very bad,in most case's the slightest sound,TV,chatting etc masks the sound for me..and its mostly ,in the quietest periods of day,in office work or sleep or when i am praying that i can hear noise.....i am very sensitive and very anxious and i guess that does not help.
I am seeing and ENT consultant on 27 dec ,not sure he can do anything ?...
Also i got this on you tube,what do you think..

Re: new member
Hi, the tinnitus is still there but its coming and going,for about a day and half it went away,then it slowly starts coming back...seems to be a cycle,where it comes,gets worse then slowly disappears.Not sure what that means,if anything.
I had hoped it was stopping then bang it comes back and i feel i am back to square one.......but i am trying not to be too anxious as if its coming and going then maybe it will one day stop.......

Hi Mazhar,
I've just had time to run through how your T began. I'm glad you detail it coz it makes folks in similar position and having similar concerns feel less alone.
T sufferers often need to express what they bottle up, especially when the T brings on ever challenging and unexpected conditions at times. But not all sufferers write well, so they end up just reading.
You've been through quite tough ride, I completely relate to it. I completely understand the bewilderment you suffered.
I am glad you have healed much these days.
