Hello guys! I have been quietly reading Tinnitus Talk for many months and just decided to sign up to share my story. My horror story started in June 2023 after attending rock concert (I never was a concert lover, just attended 3-4 in my life). At one point, I noticed that high frequency tones...

Besides Gaby Olthuis, does anyone know of anyone else who underwent euthanasia or doctor-assisted suicide because of tinnitus? Is there a list of forum members who have committed suicide? I’ve seen threads opened for some, but there are those who passed away without a thread.

Where did you ask for assisted suicide?

Still doing terribly. So bad. Three years and six months. No improvement. Utter horror. Destined for suicide.

Every night, siren sounds explode in my ears, making me think about my future suicide. One day, I’ll finally be free from this.

This forum works as a suicide prevention space for me. I really think it does. Being able to vent prevents the most desperate action

Hello, I am French and I ask you to forgive my bad language. I am 25 and I research information on assisted suicide for people with tinnitus. In France the subject is taboo because we are a country quite backward. Otorhinolaryngologists do not even know the anti-epileptics or any...

I didn't ask for it. I'm just looking into it in multiple European countries.

Heya, When I first got tinnitus 4 months ago I was definitely set on suicide. Even had worked out when and how and where to do it (NYE 2013). The thought itself was awful but the relief from that same thought was also liberating because I didn't have to hold on for much longer. I believed that...

Article advocating for use of lithium as a medication to reduce suicide occurrences in susceptible populations. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/opinion/sunday/should-we-all-take-a-bit-of-lithium.html?_r=0

You're still working. That's a huge plus.

Suicide. Tinnitus can be hell on earth.

He apparently didn't even need the medication, either. I've been in the same situation. My blood pressure is always elevated at the doctor's office. After a single reading on my first visit, I had a cardiologist prescribe me blood pressure medication. Of course, I decided to buy an at-home...

...If you're not sleeping, you're in a very dangerous place. Get sleep aids, start a tea and breathing routine, and walk until you can't. Nearly every suicide is severely sleep-deprived. I'm at my worst when sleep is gone. I've tried it all. Do whatever you can to sleep. That's absolutely vital.

I had a breakdown in the car ride home from my office yesterday. My girlfriend was driving and I told her outright that I had been researching assisted suicide and that I didn't think I would be around much longer. She didn't say anything.

...of our miserable lives. They need to be exposed and I think we should put ourself out there so we can be seen! A great final collective mass suicide would do. I'm in. Better to do something for my illness than to just sit passively taking it up the ass by ignorant doctors and other that...

I saw the interview. She had tinnitus, but from my understanding, what motivated her decision was the hyperacusis.

So lucky to live in Belgium, you can easily apply for euthanasia. I don't have to google for the best suicide method.

Hi @gameover and @From9to<1, As far as I understand from the postings, the supplements were never mentioned, only the medications. Would you PLEASE also post the supplement cocktail? I suffer from exactly the same tinnitus as @From9to<1, and I am truly extremely close to suicide now.

Hi, You shouldn't be afraid of tinnitus suicide stories. I will share a short story that took away a lot of my fear for tinnitus. Maybe it will help you too. I have a friend, who has a friend with tinnitus. Let's just call him Tim. I was occasionally getting updates about his state and to be...

I never thought to myself that I would ever consider suicide over this.

If someone told you you are going to be fine beyond any doubt, they would be lying. Some of us have worsened over the years to a suicidal state (or even committed suicide). Others get better over time. Read some of the success stories.

...employ as they struggle with debilitating tinnitus. I cannot explain how it touches and hurts me to read of those sufferers who mention suicide. I wonder if any in this forum since it's inception have actually gone through with it. This would represent such a tragic waste of lives, all of...

I remember reading @Aaron91‘s story about how his father’s suicide profoundly impacted his life. His father’s decision essentially destroyed his life, going by his words. What’s even more alarming is that the severe PTSD he experienced from that traumatic event might have contributed to his...

...since March and the associated anxiety and depression and all the other issues I've had to suffer along the years I'm seriously considering suicide. I just want to be able to sleep in peace, it's come to the point now where even sleep is no ways an exit to the hurt. Horrific nightmares...

Tonight It's worse than yesterday, yesterday it was worse than week ago, week ago it was worse than month ago and so on... New sounds, new volume, increased reaction, decreased sound tolerance. Since yesterday I feel pain in both ears. And it's not hyperacusis pain. I can touch my left ear...

Ok the suicide part is me trying to make light of this because it's driving me mental. Ringing in right ear but then about every 2 to 3 minutes a 15 second burst of static accompanied with feeling dizzy. It's really really starting to get to me now. I had it a few months ago and it passed but...

I'm just prodding you. The thread is about suicide, and it's therefore implicit that the "other option" would be just that - suicide. I don't always agree with your advice, but I'm not antagonistic to your desire to help others as much as possible.

I found a tinnitus suicide story that hasn't been mentioned here yet. Karl Peter Stevenson: Suicide Father Was Tortured by Tinnitus A demonic doctor pushed a blood pressure medication on Karl and didn't bother to warn him that the medication could possibly cause tinnitus. He was denied...

Having my family and friends at my hospital bed when I woke up made me realize how selfish I was, trying to take away someone that is so precious to them. It was at that moment that I knew I would have to grind out each day until my last to be there for them.

...A study is the first to examine the relationship between parental mental illness like anxiety and depression in childhood and the risk of suicide and self-harm in adults who suffer from tinnitus, noise or ringing in the ears, and hyperacusis, extreme sensitivity to noise. Results show that...

...who, instead of investing all his fortune (I believe it was $600 million USD) in tinnitus research, decided to take his own life. That's the despair tinnitus, and other hearing problems can cause a person. → Texas Roadhouse CEO Kent Taylor dies by suicide after suffering severe tinnitus from...

...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...

Who knows, maybe he wanted to overdose. Not being labeled as a suicide can have benefits.

...A Swedish survey – which is the basis for the article – found that women who suffer from severe tinnitus are at increased risk of attempting suicide (compared with men). The research follows an earlier large-scale study from 2016 that did a break-down of the Korean tinnitus patient population...

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.

...It was very touching and brilliantly made. You couldn't spend an hour better. I've always been in favor of legalizing assisted suicide. It's ridiculous people have to travel to Switzerland to get the final way out. In Belgium it's legal too, but only for locals I think. If I was hit with...

I'm down. Better to try this before suicide.

Seriously, for those people with moderate to severe tinnitus and hearing loss, how many have committed suicide? Are there any post about people doing it on here? I don't see how someone can live a normal life with offcentered hearing and tinnitus. I see people do it I guess, I just don't see how...

I'm very close to that. A highway a few miles from a nearby state park causes my ears to screech and shriek. It's unbearable.

Hi , my name is Tiya I'm 20 years old. I listen to music over 10 hours a day with my headphones with the volume very loud and I've done this for years! Music is the only way that calms me and makes me forget about how much I hate my life. Now I'm experiencing vertigo and my ear felt clogged for...

"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...

This won't happen. I believe suicide will just transfer your pain and suffering onto your friends and family. This is what I discovered when I tried to end my life twice.
