- abfan1127 8y agoI think its permanent. I'm not aware of tinnitus ever getting better for people.
- zimpenfish 8y agoThere -may- be improvement through notched listening. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797223/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797223/ > TMNMT affected tinnitus loudness after 6 months but it was shown to be superior to the placebo condition after 12 months. > Taken together, our results display a positive effect of three months of TMNMT on the subjective tinnitus perception, especially concerning tinnitus loudness. But it's one of those things that definitely needs more study.
- mmmBacon 8y agoI’ve had tinnitus since my 20’s from playing in bands and going to rock shows. 25+ years later, I still have it. It’s quiet enough in here right now that I can hear it as I type this.
