...and tribulations. The suffering caused by tinnitus and hyperacusis is just too much. It's a wait for something to happen. Either things will get better or worse. The status quo won't last forever. What will break the camel's back? Suicide is the saddest way to to end one's life. Nothing sadder.

Absolutely not fucked in the head; I can relate. Serious hyperacusis is such a life-altering condition (even if only temporarily) that I think contemplating suicide is the norm. The human survival instinct is very real too. So, to me, your experience makes a lot of sense. Sending many hugs, Maddy

Point is: if option is either stem cells for $25k or suicide, you should take a loan (if you can't otherwise afford) and try the stem cells before suiciding. If they work, you can get your life back and repay the loan, or if they don't and you then commit suicide, the loan won't follow you to...

How do you know Chris Cornell killed himself because of tinnitus?

...as a weapon to try and invalidate the hardships and suffering of others while calling them 'crybabies'. Say that to families and friends of suicide victims who had this kind of manipulative guilt-shaming rubbish repeated to them. Don't forget to record yourself for our entertainment. I would...

...I've had it screeching at me all day and night. It's left me feeling weak, like I'm hours away from breaking here. I've already prepped a suicide note in the past year and is easily reused. And of course even when it's lower (like the past few weeks) I still can't enjoy my usual hobbies to...

It took a couple years for people to figure out that the cause of my tinnitus is a small acoustic neuroma. Prescribed steroids first, then Xanax which has been the only thing getting me through. I have seen a neurosurgeon, neurotologist and radiation oncologist. They all told me different...

...Especially in the beginning. I've had tinnitus for decades, so that fear that it will always be with me at very loud levels and could lead to suicide has resided. It has not disappeared, but it is almost never present. If it hasn't happened after all this time, I can let go of it. It goes...

Hello, my tinnitus is currently at suicide levels. 10/10. It hasn't been this bad since 2013. I genuinely had a period over the summer in 2018 where it was unnoticeable without any background noise too. Now instead of lurking on this forum, I'm actually posting. I either got it in 2012/13 or it...

any good research news I've missed out on? Or shall I add another thing to my suicide note?

Another great reason for suicide.

I found out today one of my long time best friends has taken their life last week. I hadn't been in touch with her for a while, our paths separated a little when we moved to a different city. Her husband knew we were close and wanted to let me know. She had left a note for her family &...

You want to know about suicide? If you think it's an easy way out, best you think otherwise. Coward does not commit suicide, normal thinking people don't commit suicide. Suicide comes when all other ways of living have your brain fogged into depression. Lonliness and lack of reaching out for...

I thought about suicide every day for 15 years. The reason I didn't do it was because logically it made no sense. If I killed myself because of my severe tinnitus, I would not gain any moment of, "Wow, am I glad that's over." Killing myself would not have given me any relief that I could...

Winner for this ▲ paragraph. Suicide is no "easy way out". I in fact, cannot comprehend anything more difficult. Dying terrifies me. It is the sum of all my fears. Some people fear going insane. Still what is the fear of going insane, but a well disguised fear of death? If any man or woman...

Every day just solidifies my future plans for suicide, I just can't fucking take this shit anymore

While tinnitus can break you down, both mentally and physically to the point where suicide starts to become a viable solution, the idea that it could drive someone to commit domestic homicide seems pretty far-fetched, however. I sense there might be more to this story than we're being led to...

Habituation or suicide. Wow, we're spoiled for choice.

I had taken a medication about 11 months ago called Finasteride. I got a whole host of issues but the worst of all is hypercusis followed by severe ringing in my ears. I’m a my wits' end, I’m only 28 and had no prior health issues before this drug. I don’t know what to do. It’s like something...

...in this life. I am trying, at least a little, to be a Christian, and therefore, I have no other answers for you. Those who commit suicide are rejecting the greatest gift of life received from God. They spit in the face of God. And it's scary. You must endure to the end in order to be at...

...to avoid taking responsibility for a workplace accident. It's sad, but this is the reality we live in. I've even thought about writing a suicide note naming everyone involved, though I sincerely hope it never comes to that. I'm truly sorry that you've had a similar experience to mine. It may...

So, this is what happened to my ears in just 2 months. Not sure what the cause was but it's either a middle ear muscle problem or a vascular one. The low frequency loss in the left is believed to be conductive, but again, nobody knows, as usual: That being said...I need help to heal my...

Hi, I've been on this merry-go-round of misery for 3.5years. I am actually pretty fine with T at this stage but during the first 18months I almost topped myself through benzo, alcohol, dissociative addiction. I suppose I'd like this thread as an example for people who are about to take their...

Why hasn't the relentless preaching from various posters about the true effectiveness of habituation not persuaded so many who were gravely afflicted from nonetheless still committing suicide?

I was struggling with a increase in T on my left ear since November. I could fight it even with it being hard. But this night something happened with my healthy right ear. I was in bed at night and a sound started when I moved my head. And went silent when still. When I woke up the sound which...

...with loud banging pulsatile tinnitus. It took 8 days for that stuff to wreak havoc in my body and undo years of healing. I thought of suicide many times during the first months of hell. I am now over 5 months in to this renewed hell. I still think of suicide sometimes especially when I...

Maybe soon it will be easier: 3D-printed suicide pods are now legal in Switzerland

...compassionate use for these treatments. It takes wayyyy too long for these things to become widely available. A lot of us are on the brink of suicide and don't have the willpower to wait for a wide release because they've already been waiting for years or even decades. It's ridiculous that...

You’re contemplating suicide and you’re telling me Valium that helps me keep my job is dangerous?

I would especially as it seems one side may impact tinnitus on all sides. I could live much better and happier with one natural ear with no tinnitus than two with an endless screech.

My dad has permanent hearing loss and tinnitus as a result of the common cold a month ago. I feel so bad for him, I don’t even care about my own tinnitus anymore. He only heard it was likely permanent from the doctor yesterday, so he’s in shock still. Before he thought it was simply a clogged...

...still hanging in there! What kind of weird/painful symptoms are you having? Hyperacusis can cause all kinds of weird symptoms, as I'm sure many of us here can attest to! Are you thinking of going to the ER because of the symptoms or because you're feeling on the brink of suicide? Sending hugs!

Check out a documentary on YouTube called "The Suicide Tourist."

...life. My economic situation has been already so bad. I'm living with the help of my boyfriend but this is just so much. I search the ways of suicide every single day. I'm really sick and tired of this emotional roller-coaster. I feel okay one day and the other day I collect the all sleep...

I'm ready to exhaust all options. Please help.

@Allan1967 committed suicide. In Loving Memory of Allan1967

@gameover, I feel the exact same way. I never thought much about death or suicide pre-tinnitus. I felt like life was pretty good. But now, I'm constantly thinking about what could possibly kill me sooner or what can I do less of today to reduce my chances of living longer... because now I have a...

Just going through a setback which put me back to almost square one after months of improvement and finally going to go to Bangkok for this stem cell treatment. I am extremely lucky to be in a position to be able to try it. I just hope it helps this pain hyperacusis. I'm very confident I will...

I went to a funeral a while back. A friend of mine's brother committed suicide. From what the priest said, the catholic church is reconsidering the way it views suicide. For some "religious authorities", the person who committed suicide because of an underlying depression "could" be granted...

When I first developed hyperacusis (at a catastrophic level along with catastrophic tinnitus), it took many months for the hyperacusis to diminish. I don't know if this was due to the treatments I tried or if it might have diminished on its own. Crossing my fingers that at least the hyperacusis...

...I know of that can fix that. That's not a defeatist statement, it's exactly where we are February 24, 2024. Could tinnitus lead people to suicide? Oh yeah, for sure. At the one and only tinnitus support meetup I attended many years ago in Portland, there were two people in attendance who had...

Well, bud, if there ever is a jeopardy game for tinnitus sufferers, you just upped my game. T sucks

Tinnitus can be a truly awful debilitating condition when it is severe. Severity will have a different meaning to different people with this condition. Those who say it's just a noise and cannot hurt or kill you have never endured severe unrelenting tinnitus. Tinnitus has the ability to sap all...

I heard loud ringing last Saturday after coming home from a loud nightclub and I'm now finding it hard to cope. It's developed into a high pitch frequency which is making me drowsy, have headaches and leaving me unable to go about my business (p.s I work in a sales office on the phone but...

Couldn’t have said it better. I want to be here for the day where I can finally say “I beat it!”.

...help. If you’re like me, those thoughts just make things worse. And this is not coming from someone naive about suffering. I have attempted suicide before. Many times. Please please get help. There are support groups dedicated to suicide prevention. I don’t know how helpful this forum is to...

...These conditions are so horrendous and even more so because we receive zero understanding from the medical community. 8 months ago, assisted suicide was a topic that wasn't of much concern or interest to me. Today, with my intense worsening and suffering, I am happy and relieved to know that...

I think the last few weeks might have taught me that I'm completely incapable of suicide. There have been so many nights where I have decided 'this it it', I've made a will, prepared letters for my loved ones - but I just can't commit suicide. However, as my psychologist said - giving completely...

I got tinnitus at suicide levels from the Pfizer vaccine. Now it’s at double suicide levels from tapering off benzodiazepines. I only was on it a month and a half before tapering off. Does the benzo tinnitus ever go away? I can’t do this much longer. I’ve been hospitalized once for a suicide...

This is the problem with forums. @2049v may read your post, and it won't help him mentally at all. I know it didn't me and took me down a very dark hole. Your reality may not be his. All I'm trying to say is that tinnitus can improve, especially during the early stages, and that you should give...

I have typewriter tinnitus too. I did surgery and it didn’t help me. It’s even worse after! It’s so unbearable that I consider assisted suicide. I cannot live with it.

Why? Your April postings seem very optimistic...

You have no freaking clue what you are talking about. Reactive tinnitus, hyperacusis, and noxacusis are not just fear of sounds. I think you are on the wrong website. You may want to spew that BS to a misophonia website. Pain, physical damage, and increased tinnitus caused by sound isn't some...

I agree with a lot of what you've said. But I don't think this thread is the place for any of this, especially since you have stated that your life has improved since you started having tinnitus. Tinnitus and hyperacusis/noxacusis have ruined people's lives 100%. Compassion is needed for those...

My name is Zach. I have had tinnitus since 2018, to which I gradually habituated after months of hell. I am 20 years old. Last Wednesday, I had a Bluetooth speaker at less than half volume which I forgot was on when I opened a YouTube video with an EXTREMELY LOUD static intro. Since then, my...

I'm actually seeing a muscular therapist next week, and I'll be bringing this up in conversation (if I can hear him over my screaming brain). My loudest tones get louder when eating or after I finish.
