Yes.

Yes, it was 'planned'. He wrote me he was not happy. That means, he did not actually want to leave his sons. He loved them so much. In fact he did not want to die, but he did want an other life. But he wanted to live without T and depressions. And when you're gone.... there will be no T and...

I did also tried to get in contact with Larry's sister, his wife and his two beloved sons. But I quess they did not read it (pm in facebook). Larry did not want flowers on his funeral. He asked everyone to donate money to the American Tinnitus Association.

I wrote more than 8 month's with Larry, a wonderful person, I met him here on TT. We wrote eachother and also planned to meet eachother as soon as we should be habituated.... But .... he passed away on January 31th. Could not handle it anymore. RIP Larry

tape the sound of your T on your iphone. put that sound to your wife's ear for 1 minute. tell her that she only has to listen for it for 1 minute. And that you must listen to it every second of your life. Maybe than she will understand what T can do to a person.

I think this guy on yuku board has very mild T. His words: Today.... I hear it here and there sometimes during the day. Wow....wish I could say that.!!!!! I don't hear it 'here and there' but I hear it everywhere!! I don't hear it 'sometimes during the day', but whole day / night ...

I have wroten for almost a year with Larry. I still miss him. He wrote to me in his last message that he was taking drugs, he could not handle T anymore. He wrote that I am an angel and he thanked me for everything. He did not want to go, because he loved his sons so much, but he could not...

still miss you Larry.... you left us on January 31 th, 2015. You could not live with Tinnitus anymore. I don't think in Heaven there are laptops... but if so, maybe you read this and I will let you know I think of you almost every day. xxx

Just drink coffee and enjoy it! It did everything to see or it might change my T. Don't drinking coffee had no effect... (maybe by other people, but not for me). So I say: drink your coffee and enjoy it. T will be there. Coffee or not

A few drinks a day, or taking ADs, benzos or other mind altering chemicals? AD's, benzo's etc. do not help me a lot, so I also take alcohol to make it trough the day. I did not ever drink before T. Just sometimes one glass of wine by diner. But T changes my life completely. I drink gin/vodka...

@Thongjy Can check if u are a back sleeper or side sleeper? Both.

@NiNyu said: @Dr. Nagler, Gab was not referring that you are lucky because you contracted T but that you are lucky to need **purposely seek for it** to be totally aware of it; upon waking in the morning. If I needed to **purposely seek for it** in order to hear it, I wouldn't have a problem...

@Dr. Nagler is saying: More often than not I am totally unaware of mine upon waking in the morning (unless I purposely seek it, which I do not do ... because why would I??!!) Well, I think you are a lucky guy Dr. Nagler... I don't have to seek my T. It's there, every morning I wake up. Very...

I also think that it is not possible NOT to think about tinnitus, because sounds to the brain are made for response (so that you can fight or flight and react to it). It's more than a year since the onset of my T (May. 3th. 2014) and there is no day I have not been thinking about it. I am...

@tinnitussufferer I can imagine it's the hell on earth... Do you have it this bad since 2004?? How can you manage? I have T since 1 year plus 1 month (May 3th 2014). The panic attacks are gone, but I am sooooo tired of that sounds in my...
