Some days are better\/worse than others, but&#8230; it&#8217;s ALWAYS there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I&#8217;ve heard, there is no cure, and although some people have said it fades in time, others have said the ringing will be there until the day you die, which is of course a dreadful thought for me&#8230; something I&#8217;m trying not to think about for obvious reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The audiologist informed me of an app called ReSound, which I&#8217;ve been using for ambient sound to help drown out the ringing (ESPECIALLY when trying to fall asleep). For those of you suffering from tinnitus, I recommend it. And if anyone has any further recommendations\/advice for dealing\/living with tinnitus, please do share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-presto-player-reusable-edit\"><!--presto-player:video_id=99--><figure class=\"wp-block-video presto-block-video  presto-provider-youtube\" style=\"--plyr-color-main: #00ffcc;

As unpleasant as that was, it was at this point that I started to finally see a bit of improvement. Although not *quality* at least I was getting some *quantity* of sound in my right ear. The garbled sound you hear is actually a pretty close estimate of what I heard between my first and second injections. Some hope, but obviously still a ways to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-presto-player-reusable-edit\"><!--presto-player:video_id=100--><figure class=\"wp-block-video presto-block-video  presto-provider-youtube\" style=\"--plyr-color-main: #00ffcc;
