Oh and it's continued to improve in the 8 years since then. I am only aware of tinnitus when someone reminds me now (like reading this thread). This improvement is normal and called habituation, but I feel like you normally need to reach a critical point of acceptance before this happens. If you're primed to be distressed by your tinnitus (e.g. anxiety, depression) you are held back from habituation. I think the treatment was the turning point for me.
