    I Will Not Attempt Suicide Again

    ...6th Nov. I'm currently studying the violin in a university abroad so I'm away from home; the first month was very hard, I had a flash of suicide one night. Then I realized it's not worth it giving up my life for the tinnitus, no matter it be temporary or permanent. Life is too short to...

    I attempted suicide twice, and was in three different in-patient hospitals, hoping praying for a cure, and now I'm the latter. A cure would be cool especially if things get worse 5-10 years from now, but at the moment it's whatever.

    I wish I could be dead. I’m not okay with the idea of living like this forever. I’m 24 and my whole world got flipped upside down. I want to commit suicide. I can’t handle being hard of hearing. I messed up so bad.

    Tinnitus to Point of Suicide Possibly

    ...she leaves. Is it possible to cure tinnitus in 1 hypno session? What are some unknown cures for it that have worked, not for managing it? Im 21. She is soft spoken to the point of rather commiting suicide than seeing a hypnotist almost it seems which is frustrating. What should I do? Thanks

    Difficulty Committing Suicide

    Moderate Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Shooting Guns (AR-15, AK-47, Shotgun, Pistol)

    You're still pretty early on. I would even try a daily regimen of supplements that benefit hearing. I've been taking Lipoflavonoid daily as well as Taurine, Omega 3, and Lion's Mane mushroom. They may not help, but they surely won't hurt.
