I read all about tinnitus and may have it. I was exposed to a very loud noise on Sep. 15 for a few hours. I woke up on Sep. 16 with ringing in my ears. On Sep. 20, at night, it was unbearably loud (dumb me exposed the ears to more noise that day). I did go to sleep and it was just noise in my ears when I awoke the next morning. At very brief times, the noise stops in one ear. Right now, I have a low noise in both ears and again at times, very briefly, an ear with be quiet. Is there any hope that the noise will go away completely?
