Not always. There are many varied responses to treatment. Some people respond well and it goes completely, whilst some report no improvement at all. Many people learn to ‘turn it down’, ‘tune out’ and generally find ways to manage the problem.
Establishing whether there is something causing your tinnitus is obviously a first step to take. In my experience, the quicker you intevene, the more likely it is to go completely.Report this post

Tinnitus is a symptom, not a diagnosis. It means you can hear a noise that is not related to any external source (ie it is in your head). There are many causes and the best treatments are directed towards identifying the cause. This will involve assessment by a university trained audiologist and an ENT specialist.
