I've had tinnitus since the morning after my accident over 18 months ago. It has gotten slightly better, but still have it loud...I've gotten used to it during the day. At night it can be a struggle to sleep because of it. My ear nose throat Dr and all the other Dr's I've seen (sports medicine, occupational therapist, neurocognitive psychologist, neurologists, etc) have said there is no known cure and it affects everyone differently, but there is nothing they know of that will stop it. For some it goes away on it's own, others have it a lifetime.

I use it as a barometer to tell me when I'm overdoing it. It will get louder the more I overdo my activities during the day or expose myself to too much mental stimulation.
