FP,
It is not uncommon to have intermittent tinnitus.
Unfortunatly, when tinnitus is intermittent it only adds to the frustration
because we always wonder what we did (did not) do differently on the days of
its absence.

It shows how little we know about this beast.

No, trust me, as someone who had variable tinnitus (which could go as low as
a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 some days) and who has now apparently transitioned
to non-variable tinnitus (where the volume is always spiking near a 10 with
no cessation whatsoever), there is nothing 'unfortunate' about intermittent
tinnitus. It may have been aggravating to wonder why it was quiet one
minute and screaming 10 minutes later, but at least I _had_ that one minute
or that one hour and sometimes that one 12 hours in a row every blue moon,
and most importantly - bar none, the most important thing - was that I knew
if I could tough it out that day or that week I would eventually get that
quieter period and know that I was not doomed to a solid signal and that I
could get a bit of peace every so often, no matter how fleeting. Since I
lost that knowledge and that comfort, things have become dramatically more
difficult, as much for that loss as for the noise itself.
