Juliane rated HighleyTall's post Agree in the thread Almost 100% Cured of Hyperacusis and Tinnitus.

If you have severe tinnitus, it is impossible to relax. You have to keep yourself busy from the minute you wake up, and go to sleep once exhausted.

I also wonder if VAD would add to the bad karma as it is suicide. Or would it be forgiven when suffering is unbearable?
