How long can the non-permanant tinnitus last? Because... normally, after gigs or nights out etc I'll get it for a few hours, or a couple of days. But I've had tinnitus now since the 8th of March or there abouts.
So... because it's been almost two weeks will it still go away? Or will I be stuck with it for ever ? :impissed:

Tinnitus is hearing damage so it might be permanent, or at least it might come and go but you will always have it.
I've had tinnitus every day for four years now. Before I use to get it after clubbing, nights out etc but now I've got it permanently (been told there is no cure) it is worse when I have been clubbing then goes back to it's normal state within about 12 hours or so.
I remember when I first had it and I was soooooo worried and couldn't stop thinking about it, then I went to the doctor and was referred to hosptial where they did tests and said that I had it and there was nothing they could do but offer me counselling to help me come to terms with it :eek2: But now, although I long to 'hear' silence I have gotten use to it. I would suggest that you go to the doctors.
The thing is ... is there a certain amount of time the non-permanent one can last? Or could it still go away, even though it's been over a week?
My dad has had it for about 25 years, and he said he doesn't even notice it anymore in daily life. If I went to the doctors, would they be able to tell if it's permanent ?

So basically no I don't think they would give you an answer straight away but perhaps it is worth going because ear problems can run in the family and you said your dad has got tinnitus.
I don't see the point in the doctors really :-/ I know what it is... I might go if it doesn't go away within the next week though. Fingers crossed it'll piss off on it's own before then.
