Don’t automatically expect the worst

When I first got ringing in my ears, I quickly found this sub and went through the recommended posts from a google search.

Everything I read led me to believe that I’d gotten tinnitus, that it was only going to get worse, and that this would be a problem for the rest of my life. I understand that it’s more serious for some than for others, and for certain people it truly can be an awful experience.

However, I’d like to caution people just browsing this sub. After reading many more posts here, speaking with a doctor and seeing a huge improvement in my ear ringing, you should know that tinnitus isn’t necessarily permanent. It can be caused by tons of things, some of which you can remedy, and even if it’s permanent, you will learn to deal with it, hopefully to a point where it isn’t really an issue for you anymore.

Just my 2 cents
