Agree 100%.

I'm so saddened to hear this :( I talked to him once, he seemed like such a nice, compassionate person. I hope he's in peace now. All the best to his family.

I feel extremely guilty for first of all attempting suicide and it making my issues 5 times worse and now I'm just stuck and hopeless and suffering for the rest of my life. I really think everyone here who's still fighting and hasn't given up is a huge hero and a warrior. I wish I could've been...

I totally understand it would be good to get it examined. My hyperacusis would worsen if I got my PT examined, it's a difficult situation. Especially when it seems the PT is getting progressively louder. Thank you a lot for both of you @tiniturtle and @Greg Sacramento for your advice, I really...

@Greg Sacramento it's a theory of course, but if that were the case, it would be really cool!

@tiniturtle I have to choose with lesser of two evils. Getting it checked would be a huge risk as well... I could get permanent setback to my hyperacusis which already is very difficult. It's too big of a risk.

I know, you're absolutely correct! But because of my hyperacusis I can't even handle a trip to the hospital let alone do much testing. If I didn't have this severe hyperacusis, then I'd absolutely go to a specialist. But right now it's not an option.

Wow thank you so much! This gave me a lot of hope! I've been suspecting it might have something to do with my carotid arteries, because of my neck injury. The fact that MRI wouldn't be a good scan to see this issue is a huge relief. I definitely can't ever have an MRI, I'd lose the last of my...

@Greg Sacramento I heard you know a lot about PT? Do you have any ideas what I could try to do to alleviate it? My PT is 24/7. It sounds like thumping, but there's also a high pitch tone which comes and goes. I experience this strange vibration feeling in the left side where its worse as well...

Have you heard of a new clinic in Switzerland, called Pegasos Swiss? They supposedly accept everyone (except mental illness as main diagnosis). This could potentially be the first legal route for those outside Belgium/Netherlands. I wonder what their views are on tinnitus and hyperacusis...

A lot of people have multiple tones, so it's not at all uncommon. Sadly. I hope you can find a way to habituate! It will take time but it surely can happen. Good luck :)

Yeah I feel you. It's a heavy burden to carry. It's truly absurd. But one day at a time my friend :)

That's great! I feel I'm both mentally and physically weak lol. But I'm still hanging onto life.

So sorry to hear that :( I hope it would get easier for you. Know you're extremely strong for fighting this. It's not easy, but you can do it!
