...who tell the truth about how bad this shit can be fearmongers. They downplay these afflictions. This shit 100% should be taken seriously as a suicide-inducing affliction. Damage control should be the number one priority, not sound therapy or TRT. Frigging mild assholes claiming they're...

Are they out of their minds? I was laid off a number of times during my working years and had a great time while collecting unemployment insurance, and having a long, paid vacation. We used to call unemployment benefits, the "Fresh Air Fund", lol.

@Aussie Lea, I'm following tDCS more than rTMS.

Suicide, yes I can see in severe cases of tinnitus and hyperacusis; but murdering someone else? Yeah, there's something else going on.

Let’s not glorify it.

It's funny that my stupid ears are trying very hard to make me commit suicide. Every time I habituate to a sound, a new sound appears in my ears. Recently a motor sound with a physical vibration sensation was added to the mix in my left ear, again for no apparent reason. I already had...

I had taken a medication about 11 months ago called Finasteride. I got a whole host of issues but the worst of all is hypercusis followed by severe ringing in my ears. I’m a my wits' end, I’m only 28 and had no prior health issues before this drug. I don’t know what to do. It’s like something...

So, this is what happened to my ears in just 2 months. Not sure what the cause was but it's either a middle ear muscle problem or a vascular one. The low frequency loss in the left is believed to be conductive, but again, nobody knows, as usual: That being said...I need help to heal my...

Hi, I've been on this merry-go-round of misery for 3.5years. I am actually pretty fine with T at this stage but during the first 18months I almost topped myself through benzo, alcohol, dissociative addiction. I suppose I'd like this thread as an example for people who are about to take their...

I tried a set for one hour, to play some sound enrichment quietly. Now for the past 3 weeks I have had a tremendous setback, catastrophic tinnitus 70% of the time, pushing me closer to suicide than ever. If one has reactivity and/or hyperacusis, I'd strongly recommend not trying hearing aids.

I was struggling with a increase in T on my left ear since November. I could fight it even with it being hard. But this night something happened with my healthy right ear. I was in bed at night and a sound started when I moved my head. And went silent when still. When I woke up the sound which...

...accepted for tinnitus sufferers to be approved for VAD. No one should have to endure such torture and at the same time contemplate methods of suicide! The world needs to recognize that tinnitus for many people is worse than a terminal cancer diagnosis (I would prefer cancer and no tinnitus)...

Another great reason for suicide.

Absolutely not fucked in the head; I can relate. Serious hyperacusis is such a life-altering condition (even if only temporarily) that I think contemplating suicide is the norm. The human survival instinct is very real too. So, to me, your experience makes a lot of sense. Sending many hugs, Maddy

You want to know about suicide? If you think it's an easy way out, best you think otherwise. Coward does not commit suicide, normal thinking people don't commit suicide. Suicide comes when all other ways of living have your brain fogged into depression. Lonliness and lack of reaching out for...

any good research news I've missed out on? Or shall I add another thing to my suicide note?

...Texas Roadhouse founder.) Grasping onto what little you have left until you can't... it's no excuse for murder, but it's not surprising to see. It's so sad that suicide is many times the only "solution" left for tinnitus sufferers. I hope for a world where that isn't the only answer for some.

My dad has permanent hearing loss and tinnitus as a result of the common cold a month ago. I feel so bad for him, I don’t even care about my own tinnitus anymore. He only heard it was likely permanent from the doctor yesterday, so he’s in shock still. Before he thought it was simply a clogged...

...life. My economic situation has been already so bad. I'm living with the help of my boyfriend but this is just so much. I search the ways of suicide every single day. I'm really sick and tired of this emotional roller-coaster. I feel okay one day and the other day I collect the all sleep...

Winner for this ▲ paragraph. Suicide is no "easy way out". I in fact, cannot comprehend anything more difficult. Dying terrifies me. It is the sum of all my fears. Some people fear going insane. Still what is the fear of going insane, but a well disguised fear of death? If any man or woman...

I strongly encourage anyone to try this before writing themselves off. Like many of you, I’ve looked into it, and the surgery itself seems not only low-risk but also entirely reversible if more effective procedures come along in the future. I understand the challenging part is gathering the...

That could be true. It is a historical fact that the suicide rate of slaves was so low as to be virtually non-existent. We voted in our best interests. Due to the inflation caused by the Biden and Harris administrations, a significant number of Americans are going hungry because they cannot...

...and tribulations. The suffering caused by tinnitus and hyperacusis is just too much. It's a wait for something to happen. Either things will get better or worse. The status quo won't last forever. What will break the camel's back? Suicide is the saddest way to to end one's life. Nothing sadder.

How do you know Chris Cornell killed himself because of tinnitus?

Habituation or suicide. Wow, we're spoiled for choice.

Daily Mail has published a great article on two patients living with hyperacusis, one in Canada and one in the United States. It describes how sounds are overwhelmingly loud for hyperacusis sufferers, causing ice pick or burning pain, and suggests a few mechanisms/underlying causes. It also...

Every day just solidifies my future plans for suicide, I just can't fucking take this shit anymore

...hyperacusis is mild or moderate, sound therapy and counseling can help greatly to continue with life. The vocal few who are on the verge of suicide from it all can't see the forest for the trees. That's why there are nutcases like @Travis Henry who scream from the rooftops "no sound therapy...

Yes, anxiety, OCD, tinnitus, and benzodiazepine withdrawal—I’m facing the fight of my life. I’ve seen others here, far more well-adjusted than me, struggle to get through it, which makes me terrified. I have so many tones. :/ Praying for you.

I agree. Simple information regarding the expected FDA submission date would be helpful. We would not expect them to speculate on when the FDA approval would take place. They could also set expectations on how long it might take to start seeing the device at the audiologist after the approval...

I heard loud ringing last Saturday after coming home from a loud nightclub and I'm now finding it hard to cope. It's developed into a high pitch frequency which is making me drowsy, have headaches and leaving me unable to go about my business (p.s I work in a sales office on the phone but...

You’re contemplating suicide and you’re telling me Valium that helps me keep my job is dangerous?

Maybe soon it will be easier: 3D-printed suicide pods are now legal in Switzerland

I thought about suicide every day for 15 years. The reason I didn't do it was because logically it made no sense. If I killed myself because of my severe tinnitus, I would not gain any moment of, "Wow, am I glad that's over." Killing myself would not have given me any relief that I could...

...with loud banging pulsatile tinnitus. It took 8 days for that stuff to wreak havoc in my body and undo years of healing. I thought of suicide many times during the first months of hell. I am now over 5 months in to this renewed hell. I still think of suicide sometimes especially when I...

...Especially in the beginning. I've had tinnitus for decades, so that fear that it will always be with me at very loud levels and could lead to suicide has resided. It has not disappeared, but it is almost never present. If it hasn't happened after all this time, I can let go of it. It goes...

...as a weapon to try and invalidate the hardships and suffering of others while calling them 'crybabies'. Say that to families and friends of suicide victims who had this kind of manipulative guilt-shaming rubbish repeated to them. Don't forget to record yourself for our entertainment. I would...

Why hasn't the relentless preaching from various posters about the true effectiveness of habituation not persuaded so many who were gravely afflicted from nonetheless still committing suicide?

Check out a documentary on YouTube called "The Suicide Tourist."

I went to a funeral a while back. A friend of mine's brother committed suicide. From what the priest said, the catholic church is reconsidering the way it views suicide. For some "religious authorities", the person who committed suicide because of an underlying depression "could" be granted...

While tinnitus can break you down, both mentally and physically to the point where suicide starts to become a viable solution, the idea that it could drive someone to commit domestic homicide seems pretty far-fetched, however. I sense there might be more to this story than we're being led to...

Basically I haven't slept in.. Honestly I can't even tell time right now. My ear was ringing really bad and then it sort of went quiet for a second but now its ringing again. Its at such a high frequency (or low, idk) to the point where I can barely hear the faint eeeee sound but I can...

...help. If you’re like me, those thoughts just make things worse. And this is not coming from someone naive about suffering. I have attempted suicide before. Many times. Please please get help. There are support groups dedicated to suicide prevention. I don’t know how helpful this forum is to...

I got tinnitus at suicide levels from the Pfizer vaccine. Now it’s at double suicide levels from tapering off benzodiazepines. I only was on it a month and a half before tapering off. Does the benzo tinnitus ever go away? I can’t do this much longer. I’ve been hospitalized once for a suicide...

I would especially as it seems one side may impact tinnitus on all sides. I could live much better and happier with one natural ear with no tinnitus than two with an endless screech.

Just going through a setback which put me back to almost square one after months of improvement and finally going to go to Bangkok for this stem cell treatment. I am extremely lucky to be in a position to be able to try it. I just hope it helps this pain hyperacusis. I'm very confident I will...

My name is Zach. I have had tinnitus since 2018, to which I gradually habituated after months of hell. I am 20 years old. Last Wednesday, I had a Bluetooth speaker at less than half volume which I forgot was on when I opened a YouTube video with an EXTREMELY LOUD static intro. Since then, my...

I think the last few weeks might have taught me that I'm completely incapable of suicide. There have been so many nights where I have decided 'this it it', I've made a will, prepared letters for my loved ones - but I just can't commit suicide. However, as my psychologist said - giving completely...

I'm ready to exhaust all options. Please help.

...compassionate use for these treatments. It takes wayyyy too long for these things to become widely available. A lot of us are on the brink of suicide and don't have the willpower to wait for a wide release because they've already been waiting for years or even decades. It's ridiculous that...

@Allan1967 committed suicide. In Loving Memory of Allan1967

...in this life. I am trying, at least a little, to be a Christian, and therefore, I have no other answers for you. Those who commit suicide are rejecting the greatest gift of life received from God. They spit in the face of God. And it's scary. You must endure to the end in order to be at...

But why would someone who doesn't consider suicide benefit from talking to people who attempted to commit suicide because of tinnitus? I may be lost in translation, but this doesn't really seem logical to me.

...still hanging in there! What kind of weird/painful symptoms are you having? Hyperacusis can cause all kinds of weird symptoms, as I'm sure many of us here can attest to! Are you thinking of going to the ER because of the symptoms or because you're feeling on the brink of suicide? Sending hugs!

Suicide rates in the military are alarmingly high. I believe tinnitus is the #1 disability claim among veterans. Sadly, not everyone in the military is able to survive this struggle.

Like when @Danny Boy died and only $5000 was able to be raised. Or when @Allan1967 committed suicide - zero shits and money raised. Or when the semi famous drummer Craig Gill committed suicide because of inescapable tinnitus and the British Tinnitus Association was able to raise $2000. My point...

Suicide hot line had record number of calls back in 2016. Suicide hotline calls reached record high as Trump victory became clear We haven’t seen anything like that in our history,” said project director John Draper in a report on Friday. The lifeline was started in 2005. People on both sides...
