@RadioKid722, thank you so much for your kind, sincere and supportive words. I had previously pondered DBS surgery but the surgery in London was extremely expensive, definitely out of reach (roughly €90,000). I am going to have a look, not sure whether that study in particular has started yet...

@Exit, thank you for the advice... I'm hanging in there. No disability for tinnitus and hyperacusis sufferers in my country. My hearing loss is around a 40% in one ear, and 20% in the other one. I tried moving to a quieter place to live but couldn't get rid of the annoyance and suffering caused...

I had previously considered this option beforehand. In London, a neurosurgeon performs such surgery but it is extremely expensive (something like €90,000 / €100,000). I can't afford it. In addition to that, it is an invasive surgery and there is a reasonable uncertainty regarding its success...

Didn't work out. He didn't prescribe me Naltrexone. I'll keep trying though, I think prescription is needed but I'll see what can I do. We, as tinnitus sufferers, are literally abandoned. In case I go ahead with VAD, which is a very realistic option at the minute, I won't hesitate to report my...

Thanks for your kind words @TheDanishGirl. I have lost any hope regarding any improvement. I am completely lost. By having the VAD approved, I kind of have some sort of relief but it is still terrible resorting to such a way out when you are still young, healthy and keen to enjoy life. However...

Not the most encouraging or supportive post, but honest, sincere and as real as my life over the last 20 years. I developed tinnitus and hyperacusis back in 2003 due to constant loud noise exposure. It was hard to cope with it the first years, I was completely hopeless, lost and desperate...
