Usually to the point where it is not a material factor. That is what happened in my case although it did re-emerge in March of 2010. Not sure why. But now, it is simply not a factor in everyday life. My wish is that the same will happen for you. When tinnitus first emerged, I was quite despondent and it was a trying time for me personally. There was little in the way of hope. But let me assure you that there is hope and for most people, tinnitus fades away over time. Hi Kimberly,

I'm determined to make it go away at this point and am waiting on an ear exam. As a music teacher, I really don't want to "live with it". I understand that studies have been done that find improvement with melatonin or botox treatments. I'm going to be exhausting all the possibilities. I would really like to be able to sleep again - I hope things are going well with you, Richard *HUGS* I just recently started experiencing the constant buzzing-hum of tinnitus.

In my particular case, the tinnitus is not related to hearing loss -- although for many people, the two are related. I am habituating to the tinnitus more quickly this time around and I am starting to get back to "normal". Normal meaning that I do not perceive the tinnitus most of the time. Both you and I know how troubling this condition can be... pleased to hear that your aids are working well for you. Hi Kip,

The only way to get rid of it is by getting hearing aids. I had a hearing disability anyway. I have had them for 5 years and I would not leave home without them. Take care.
