    WARNING This Post Is NOT for People Looking for Support

    Dying peacefully does need to be an option, we are selfishly brought into this world and selflessly forced to live it, no matter how much pain we feel. Never say someone suffering is far worse than anothers. Yours may not be. He looks positively happy compared to myself.

    New Sound... It Sounds Like a Singing Beeping? (I Simulated the Sound for You Guys to Hear)

    Yes, one of mine is the same just a lot higher in pitch. It competes with sounds. That type comes and goes for me. Unlike the other two.

    Should I Get a Flu Shot?

    Ive had the flu shot 3 years in a row. You only decrease your odds of getting the flu by 50% at best, but thats worth it for me. Having ears clogged up for weeks with tinnitus is no fun. I also clean my hands with alcohol a lot too. Dont listen to the nonsense people come out with. Millions...

    Tinnitus Discussion Looking at Stats

However, i think its inevitable as it progressively gets worse over the 7 years ive had it, I sigh every day i wake up. It really infuriates me when i see "The...

    Diagnosis: Hydrops or Early Meniere's

    You are pretty much identical to me :( Mines 7 years high pitch, then the humming appeared later, its getting progressively worse, then the frequent pain and pressure started, slow hearing loss. I suspect hydrops too, gave up with going to the doctors. They can never find anything wrong...

    Low-Pitched Humming = Meniere's?

    mines like yours, deep humming, stops with noises caries on between, started in 2010, just keeps getting louder. General dizziness, rarely any vertigo. No diagnosis but i think i have hydrops. More noises started over the years. I have 3 or 4 now, different sounds in each ear.

    Unless it bothers you it shouldn't be an issue, i personally freak out. You can avoid silence if you you are determined enough. Ive not been in silence since my last hearing test months ago! i avoid silence it at all costs and expense which has totally turned my life upside down. I even a a UPS...

    MRI — How to Prepare?

    I hate MRI its extremely loud forcing me to wear ear plugs, which also forces me to listen to my tinnitus. I strongly advise people to take for ear plugs with them, and also wear the ear defenders they put on you and ask for music to be played through them.
