    I'm Lost with Constant Suicidal Thoughts — My Tinnitus Is All I Can Think About

    I’m sorry to hear about what you’re going through, but I’m very happy you’re getting help for it. I know there’s other medications and things that you could try if you’re desperate enough, but nothing with good solid evidence that would work for everyone with tinnitus unfortunately. I struggle...

    At any rate, I hope you can find something that works for you even if there is no cure, at least something that makes things even a little bit better or more tolerable for you. I’ll keep you in my thoughts! (when I’m not thinking about this horrible ringing sound in my brain )

    That truly sounds like a nightmare that just keeps getting worse. Hopefully, you can find some things to try to at least possibly take some of the edge off. If you never reached out to a clinic or something like that, it might be worth giving it a shot if you can afford it and you have nothing...

    Ringing Transformed into Hissing

    I’ve also heard that that’s a good sign it might go away entirely. Have you had your hearing tested? Maybe a professional can help give you some answers.

    Hence, I am trying to find every silver lining in every place and in every area of life and my life as I can, and I also want to give back to society and improve the quality of other people’s lives as long as I’m here.

    I’ve never had to swallow a harder reality pill than this one, but even though I still hate my tinnitus with every fiber of my being, I’m stuck with it and as long as I have to put up with, I’d honestly rather it take less from me than more.

    Hi thanks so much for asking! How are you? I’ve been doing that thing they call “habituating,” though for me, it’s really just learning to put up with a bully I hate with all my being who’s constantly hitting me from within my skull.

    My Tinnitus Was Probably Caused by Long COVID-19 — Headaches, Stiff Neck, Sleepless Nights

    Hello. I had the exact same thing happen to me (except I don’t have headaches) after I was infected with COVID-19 (most likely Delta) last November. My tinnitus is bilateral, I hear multiple sounds 24/7 simultaneously, and I had never heard tinnitus ever prior to my COVID-19 infection. I’ve had...

    Positive Things Resulting from Tinnitus?

    One way that people can cope with something difficult or stressful is through what I think they call “compensation.” It’s essentially a coping strategy where one tries to make up for what was lost or damaged. Does anyone use this coping strategy for their tinnitus and have used it as a...

    I’ve heard of that site but have never been a part of it. I randomly came across the phrase online recently for the first time in some person’s Reddit or internet post and I took an immediate liking to it not only because I’ve been struggling with coping with my tinnitus, but because it’s...

    I’m sorry. I wish with all my heart no one had to go through this. I’m glad you have someone special in your life though who is there to support you and help ease your pain. Even if they don’t know what I’m going through, it always feels better to have someone there with me or talking to me...

    Can’t Function at a High Level Anymore

    I just wanted to commend you on how strong you are. To keep going and in fact continuing to push yourself to achieve more than before in spite of such a miserable inescapable condition is truly extraordinary.

    Tinnitus After Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 Vaccine

    I’m so sorry this happened to you :cry: I developed tinnitus after getting infected with COVID-19. It’s just not fair :banghead: It’s possible that this situation could have been unavoidable for both both of us since both the real COVID-19 and the vaccine may have given us tinnitus either way...

    Thanks for your advice. I don’t know how long I can bear this, but I’m trying to hang in there for right now and barely keeping it together. If nothing changes, I won’t be able to keep going. It’s not just the horrendous bilateral tinnitus though that’s the primary cause of my suffering. I...

    Voluntary Assisted Dying / Euthanasia for Tinnitus Patients (Pegasos Swiss Association, Switzerland)

    Hi there. My life has been completely derailed by tinnitus and I have very little quality of life left. Each day now is a struggle and a torture. The only upside, is I’ve gotten to have my good times. I was happy before and I got to live life even if it wasn’t perfect or the very best, so I’d...

    How Can We Get Actual Palliative Care for Tinnitus?

    It goes to show that just having head knowledge about a subject versus having to forcefully live and breath that very subject as a part of your everyday every-moment waking existence are completely two separate things. When you don’t know what it’s like to really suffer from an ailment, it’s...

    Tinnitus Following COVID-19 Infection / Stress

    I developed my tinnitus from COVID-19 too in mid October 2021. I was young and healthy and could never have thought this would happen to me. The tinnitus started out sporadically like yours, chirping but it always went away in 10-30 seconds during my acute infection and never concerned me. But...

    How Do You Deal with Your Tinnitus While Meditating?

    Ironically, I initially discovered my tinnitus through meditation though meditation is not what caused it. It was just quiet enough to notice that some not normal sound was in the background, and of course, I was focused in meditation on mindfully listening to what was around me. The meditation...

    Episode 18: Tinnitus Realities — Steve and Sean

    100% agreed! What’s worse than chronic severe 24/7 screeching tinnitus? Being a vegetable or paralyzed, but still stuck with the same tinnitus, except you have no way out anymore...

    Pegasos does mention it on their website in the FAQ section. The reason why you need a personal witness to identify your body is to comply with Swiss law.
