Tinnitus returns 2 years after CI surgery:(

What is CI surgery… I suffer tinnitus as well, it’s terrible. Over 6 years for me. I was diagnosed with pericarditis as viral and was told it settled in my ears but after recovery ringing would go away. They were wrong. I’ve done so much research on tinnitus and find no cure. I’ve learned to adjust my life to it, only thing I could.

CI is cochlear implant. Tinnitus often is resolved after CI surgery and mine was. For almost 2 years. I just didn’t expect it to return.
I see our local hospital system in Pittsburgh offers TRT, Tinnitus Retraining Therapy. But it’s super expensive and not covered by insurance. And not guaranteed to work. I believe they use sound therapy and on the ear devices to help distract the brain from paying attention to the tinnitus. Good luck to you in your ongoing effort to overcome the struggle.
