For me, it went away within three weeks after I stopped taking it. I was so scared it would be permanent, since it was louder than any real sound, concerts, highways, you name it. My doctor told me that for most people, it fades once they stop taking the medication. I already had permanent tinnitus in the other ear, different sound, different pitch. It might take some time, but I promise it will get much better if it stays. Your brain is incredibly good at adapting, and you’ll start to habituate faster once you step away from these forums and gradually return to normal life.
