Hi there, my MVA happened about 1 year ago and I had TBI-induced tinnitus. I have noticed in the past few months that it IS getting better. I also had hyperacusis which aggravated the tinnitus. As a result, I purchased musician's earplugs with a 15 and 25 filter. My son plays in a band and this way I can now go and see his perfomances (with the 25s). I use the 15s for crowded malls, restaurants, etc. Hope this helps. My hyperacusis has also improved over the past few months.
