CNC Machinist for 11 years and Former Drug and alcohol counselor for 26 years. I ran 4 halfway houses for 10 years as well.

Tinnitus is the most aggravating thing I have ever come across in my life. It gets so bad I have suicidal ideations.
How can I live with VERY LOUD HISSING IN MY HEAD DAILY?
I am alone because of T. I can't go visit people and tell them to quiet down or shut up the kids. So I sit here and watch closed caption TV all by my lonesome.
I put on sound-proof headphones and live under my rock.
I'm sick of seeing ENT's, Docs period. They can't do shit.
The actual T clinics here in Minneapolis want $500 cash up front before they will talk to you.

I am thinking about "living in van down by the river" and smoking fat joints of ganja until it's ok to come out of my van.
