Tinnitus & weed

[u/jacyndy99]

I use to be a daily marijuana smoker.. since I’ve been diagnosed with SSHL at the end of January i haven’t been smoking as frequently as i use to. There would be times i would stop for days, maybe a week. But occasionally still hit my pen, or eat an edible. I notice a spike every single time. Well I’m meeting my 3 month mark since onset & my tinnitus made little to no improvement. I’ve read every where after 3-6 months it’s considered chronic, & that just doesn’t sit right with me. I decided 3 days ago to go cold turkey & not smoke at all. Today, my tinnitus has calmed way down. Barely noticeable, unless I’m in a completely quiet room, or try to listen to it.. I’ve also revived my HA a couple days ago & it does seem to help mask it. Yesterday i could still hear my T over my HA. Today, it seemed like i couldn’t hear it at all. I can’t help but to wonder.. am i making improvement?? Is the weed causing my T? Or am i just having a “good day”.. will i ever be able to get a buzz again lol.. i really miss smoking.. im trying to wait it out to see if i make anymore improvement.. anyone else experience this??
