I just wanted to tell people what happened. Sorry, I had a number of inbox posts asking if I was still alive. Please read my prior posts to understand what I was going through. In a nutshell, I flew to another country and had a strange forlorn hope that the flight pressure might change the ear...

...that I am a world expert on tinnitus. Why? I have the full house! Super loud: Typical commonly heard ringing High pitched static noise Raging multiple orchestral ringing Low frequency rasping booming bass noise Ask away for any assistance and advice on these matters. No charge and can...

Firstly, how old are you? What kind of therapist will you be seeing?

I will say one thing.... something I've learnt in my time as a world expert in severe tinnitus suffering over many years .. don't invest any of your time trying to work out why other people don't understand it and don't sympathise. If they did know what it is like, they would get it but they...

I've only been on the train for a solid 30 years and have never come off it. Nice.

I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL AN EMAIL I SENT TO THE TINNITUS CLINIC IN LONDON A FEW WEEKS AGO. SUFFICE TO SAY THERE WAS NO RESPONSE.... Dear Jacqueline Let me explain, I have had loud ringing in my ears for over 30 years. In fact, I also have a loud high pitched static sound above any noise...

The keywords which sum up true, deep tinnitus suffering are the relentless, sickening, torturous noise which leaves you continuously hollowed out mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

The slow torture continues. Whether we are at the forum or not at the forum... Whether we are here, there and anywhere... It continues. I'm beyond ground down.

I've been having low pitch bass tone and it's unbearable. I also have high pitch static noise and ringing. This bothers me even more, so what you say is inaccurate.

I can give you a qualified answer. I have very loud ringing. I have extremely high pitch static noise which can hear above everything. I also have low pitched super loud rasping booming bass noise. Yes I have the whole lot. I habituated to the awful ringing and high pitch never ending static...

In fairness to you....when it'sa like that it can mentally get out of control.

"Just another person whose tinnitus went away and who now thinks he has all the answers." I agree. Each situation is personal. It is actually conceivable that someone can have tinnitus and it disappears. It has happened. It is conceivable that someone coould knock their head hard and tinnitus...

In this recent discussion on this thread, the undercurrent once again resurfaces. That undercurrent is that negativity and talk of suicide should not be mentioned because it might " scare" people new to having tinnitus. The implication is that the people who mention these things are just unable...

No one here is advocating suicide. They are just fully empathising with feeling suicidal, as it is such an awful condition (if you really really suffer).

Pleased for you. You got to try these things to know. Can't be underestimated.

Wouldn't make a difference. They get the best medical care and don't focus on helping us mere mortals to cope better with it.

Agree. No doctor worth his salt should ever go near saying cutting auditory nerve would stop tinnitus. Ridiculous and reckless proposition.

You know why? Because it's a "charity" set up in UK to provide salaries to 9-5 people. They all make the right noises but do nothing.

Well, I have very loud rasping, pounding, booming low pitched bass noise in my left ear. Constant. It seems to have its own life form and likes to combine with other noises so you can't clearly define if it's external or internal. Sometimes it is clearly definable as internal in a very quiet...

How much is it a problem for you?

No. I would say it's worse. It's a relentless rasping, booming, pounding blasting bass noise. It mixes with other low frequency sounds as well and is like a sound chameleon.

Correct! I am a bloke. Use Facebook in joint name. You are obviously an optimist. I get you . I guess im too tired to invest into hope i don't believe in. Never say never but I don't see it.

I spoke to a couple of people on here which is something. Intellectually, talking to a GP, Samaritans or a shrink will have no effect on me. Seen it, done it, got the t shirt. Even the audiologist touched my arm as I walked out in a heart felt touch of sympathy . All well meant but isn't going...

I don't mention the suicidal thoughts to her. Couldn't put her through that. Yes I'm saying on here because we are having a frank discussion.

I am one of those kinds of people who don't hold on well to forlorn hope. No way I can see a cure coming. Not in a month of Sundays.

I'm on my way now. Naturally I am the unhappiest one on the flight.

I've taken inflight WiFi so I can answer this... Personally, yes all hope has gone for me. I always had severe loud ringing tinnitus since 1990, high pitched static above all sound, tinnitus came along 5 years ago and whilst I had my bad times I managed to habituate to those sounds ok. I mean...

I have now boarded a flight to Mexico ...is there any specific advice anyone can give from their reading of a certain book which can assist me ? Note: everyone else in holiday mode and me a dejected taut grim faced figure.

Without being overly negative I too did the whole anti depressant route and it had zero effect in helping me. Tinnitus really can be a huge monster.

That's my whole dilemma. I say I want to end my pain but I am too scared to attempt something and for it to fail and I am also too scared to experience awful pain to achieve it. I already sat at train stations numerous times and knew I couldn't put someone else through that trauma and was too...

I have to keep agreeing with Bam. That's because no one is saying they would "rather be...". It's more they are saying they are (as I am) constantly at their wits end and really want.it all to stop one way or another .That's what the torture does to you. We are all, ultimately, saying it in...

Just had my daily sob. a 45 year old man sobbing away. Reduced to tears.

Bimodal stimulation? sorry that doesn't mean anything to me...

Thanks for the offer to message you but I am sure there is nothing you can say that can relieve the suffering.

Obviously, I wish I wasn't saying that but it is so completely unbearable, it's the only way. What I'm suffering more recently is very complicated in its nature and I am an old hand at tinnitus. All the techniques I used to be able to employ to help don't anymore. So, I've run out of...

I'm finished, nothing is going to save me now.

:LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL: hilarious . At least i could laugh. For once.

Even if the damn volume could be reduced somewhat it would be workable. I truly wish I could help you all. I would happily sacrifice myself if I could help a number of awfully afflicted people here.

that is every moment of everyday for me.

what a nice gesture !

Yes, that confirms what I thought you were referring to. Again, you summarise our shared extreme misery. I am obviously in that same awful category but agree it shouldn't be condoned for a lesser sufferer. However, for someone in the extreme the understanding is full.

PPH?

That word "torment" pops up too often. what a life.

Yes

Clenching jaw. Sad pained eyes looking back at me in the mirror. I sob to myself daily. A big strong man sobbing like a baby. I hold my head in my hands. I sometimes bang my head. I sigh all the times. I curse all day. All human beings irritate me. I never ever laugh anymore. Never. I walk with...

Have you been able to get hold of a certain liquid easily to facilitate the end?

Sorry my friend. There are no answers. Feel your pain.

Again, that is a very good analysis of this hell.

I really wish so much that the right to die was observed like this in the UK. The narrator in this film is highly irritating. He doesn't seem to truly want to understand what it's like to suffer deeply. Still, i watched it all the way through. It made me emotional at the end. My reasoning...

or even better you could buy me some.

Yes I do use brown noise already. Best thing I could find for this type of tinnitus. Shame the WNG doesn't use it but still.

@Bam As much as you summarised our very very reluctantly shared hell so well, I am leaning heavily towards making my way upstairs by the end of the year. The destruction in my life is accumulative right now with this hell and I just cannot go on like this anymore.

I just don't see how it can be effective if it is so far removed from.rhe sound and physicality if the sound I'm suffering . Can it still help ? If you havevehave high pitch tinnitus but played a really low rumblimg sound you wouldn't expect that to be effective ... ( Reversing the theory)

Mine is severe everyday. I am very suicidal these days. Unbearable. I was the one who has got a white noise wearable generator. What's crazy is that my problematic tinnitus is this low pitched pounding bass sound so I can't see how the white noise can do anything. What do you think?

It is indeed. I have vibrsting bass pounding rasping noise going on.abd it is a killer. I know because I can also compare it to run going and static which I have as well and this is putting me into jump off a cliff territor.

It certainly isn't !!!! Trust me I have had tinnitus for 30 years and have loud ringing and high pitch static noise. Somehow I coped with those but now I have a low frequency pounding vibrating noise. n can tell you it is another level of awfulness. Ruined my life . Everyday is misery .

I'm asking the question here

I have had loud ringing tinnitus for 30 years. I have had loud high pitch static sound for 5 years. The latter did cause me real trauma for a month but I managed to habituate. Neither bother me day to day. However, for the last 4 months I have had a loud droning vibrating heavy bass sound in...

I might get gunned down.
