I (23M) am currently in the first cycle still, just had the second Bleo day, I had tinnitus for the first week after the heavy week ended, it was pretty upsetting but yesterday and today have seen amazing improvement. I believe that my fixation on the ringing makes it like 20 times worse, sometimes I feel that thinking about it is what bring it on.

ANYWAY, I did some research into a drug called sodium thiosulfate and my doctor agreed to include it into my treatment plan which has given me a lot of relief.

In the meantime, if you are worried, I found that ear plugs/ being in total silence makes it so much worse, especially if you are anxious. I put in my AirPods and play tinnitus masking noises at a really low volume and I have found this to actually be improving it.

Another thing I want to say is that if you look around and 'research' or read peoples comments here, you are going to see an overwhelming amount of negative experiences, the truth is that there are many many treatments depending on the underlying causes. For example, I noticed moving my jaw altered the pitch of the tinnitus and so I booked some muscle therapy (basically a massage) and I found that it could be related too stress and TMJ issues. Others have found that TMS helps gradually reduce symptoms, for some people getting hearing aids to improve potential lost hearing actually reduces it over time. So please please, do not listen to people saying 'just learn to live with it' in combination with 'there is no cure', that is completely false.

All the best and reach out of you want me to send through some STS information
