    ...who, instead of investing all his fortune (I believe it was $600 million USD) in tinnitus research, decided to take his own life.

    10% of Women Who Suffer Constant Ringing in Their Ears Attempt Suicide, Study Suggests

    It is always the same dilemma. Is it useful or harmful to post this kind of publication? I personally think it is useful to keep awareness of our torment, even if it has already been said, but it is up to the moderators. Systematic review and meta-analysis of the correlation between tinnitus...

    ...be ethical, though, and resign from my job and tell them I'm going on an extended vacation. But of course, I live in a third-world country, and tinnitus does not qualify for assisted suicide, so hopefully, I get some form of deadly cancer, and it kills me as soon as possible—best ending, I...

    It's not just that it is with you forever. It gets worse. Gaby's tinnitus drastically worsened over time. Many of us here and elsewhere have adapted to stable tinnitus. Ever-worsening auditory torture, like what she and a few others experience, myself included, is a different story.

    What’s the Last Movie You Watched?

    "The Suicide Squad" (2021) with Margot Robbie, Idris Elba and John Cena. With 90% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it stands heads and shoulders above its failed 2016 predecessor "Suicide Squad" with Will Smith and Jared Leto. This 2021 film is an unapologetically ultra-violent slapstick...
