Hi, My name is Peet. I introduced myself on this forum a few years ago. Tinnitus started about three years ago. I had a rough first year. Then I found the "Back to Silence" method here on this forum. It worked. First time I tried the method it worked for a few weeks. Then tinnitus stuck up...
I experienced complete silence for like half an hour or a bit more when I accidentally and badly cracked my neck, but it came back unfortunately. Also, in the transitioning state my tinnitus is the quietest.

My Tinnitus Becomes Calm in Silence and Aggravates After Noise Exposure ...
As the title says. Could silence make tinnitus worse? I know I still react to my tinnitus and sound enrichment surely makes it a lot better. But sometimes (say, when you go to the bathroom at night) you cannot avoid silence. Is that a problem?
Such as saying that silence is the ultimate goal, but to be able to habituate to T so that you won't hear it most of the time is just as good for the time being.
Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your positive story. You have the potential to inspire others, offering hope that their tinnitus may fade or that they can eventually habituate to it with time. If your moments of silence continue, you might consider writing a success story to encourage and support new sufferers. Thank you, and God bless.
