I've had tinnitus for over 30: years. My mother and my son , now 30 years also have tinnitus.Suddenly my tinnitus has all but disappeared! It's strange not to hear the noise and silence is very strange. I don't know what happened or if it will last, but felt I had to report to group who me at have experienced something similar.

It may seem strange but I feel the absence of noise rather unnerving after so long and in some way miss the comforting hiss I've known for so long

Anyone with similar experience,?

first of all, congratulations on the reprieve. My condition fluctuates quite a bit. I’ve come to notice that when I experience a harmless kind of congestion, it gets louder. And it goes away now and then as well. I appreciate the good moments when I have them!

What a great little note. I am a recent tinnitus club member and I only had a few minutes without it. However I do understand what you say about the comforting hiss. Hopefully someone here can share their experience. Can you think of anything that would have triggered it disappearing?

wow that’s amazing , my son ( in his 30s )also has T since a child . he says he quite likes it .

Did you start any new medication ? I’m sure you’ll get used to the silence again .

There's hereditary tinnitus in my family. Traceable back to a profoundly deaf great grand mother, though mine came in retirement and I was spared the curse. I suspect all cases of hereditary have a physical cause behind them - an ear bone or bone housing a micron or two out maybe. The cells concerned are constantly replacing themselves and perhaps through that the aging process has allowed a bit more clearance therein. It could be gone for good!

wow! Thank you so much for posting.

Mine started in my mid or late teens, faded slightly until about ten years ago and constant now but ONLY when I think about it. Like now!

Wonderful. I have had tinnitus for one year. I miss silence.

Ha. Exactly the same. However the tin in my left is better. The fullness of my right ear on a daily basis is worse than the tin. Could be early Menierres or could be ETD. I think Ive had everything done almost everything to try and combat this. I am also at my wits end at times but i still know that acceptance is key and distraction. Hearing aids for when its really bad. B12 vit D daily along with my dose of Betahistine 3 daily. Im getting there. Hope you do too. Just struck a chord with your comments. Also the same year long of this. Awful at first. Sometime not bothersome at all and then sometimes just wishing i never had it. Horrible! But there we are. Best of luck. Habituation is key.

I have had T all my life, so at least 60 years, but never had it go. It has only gone one way although for years it was at a much lower background level. But I have often thought that it would actually be very unsettling to 'hear' silence and have wondered how I would cope. That said I wouldn't mind having a chance to give it a go.
