> As others have said, I felt suicidal during those first few weeks. Thankfully, I've since learned to live with it. An incredibly common feeling among those who have recently got tinnitus. I felt this way to and unfortunately no matter how many times I read that people learnt to live with it, I never really took it on board. For anyone reading who has got it, it really does get better. Eventually (6 months min from what I have read) your brain starts to tune it out. Only a very, very small number of people are unfortunate enough to have it persist without some dulling. Try not to despair or panic, it almost certainly will significantly dull and fade into the background after a few months. At some point, it not being present will be normal again. Nowadays I notice a mild shadow of what it once was, maybe 4 times a year for an hour after a severe initial case.
