We do. Some of our videos below. If you would like to tell your struggles on video, please message me. We need more people with severe tinnitus to share their experiences.

At the point where suicide seems like a viable option.

Yes, before I went on Pramipexole/Keppra, it was like this every day for months. Now it seems like they are wearing off and it is returning. At the beginning it was so loud I remember trying to draw fluid into a needle and my hands were shaking non stop so I gave up. I really don’t want that again.

Mass suicide of tinnitus patients in Times Square would probably get some attention or would it all be labeled as depression?

Thank you for your post. When I read a few stories about people who wants to commit suicide, I always knew they had suicidal tendencies from before. I really believe there is a lot more going on with people who commit suicide.

My only problem with suicide is when people glorify it.

...by a PhD neurologist. I dunno what your point is dude. If you wanna end yourself, no one is stopping you. If you're wondering why the "anti suicide" crowd seems so much louder than the "pro suicide" crowd, I would humbly suggest that you just use logic to parse that. People who are...

...and I defended myself. I wouldn’t call this denying my reality. This is actually my way of welcoming it by looking at it clearly and seeing it for what it is. I’m not here to talk you out of suicide. This was a reply to Stacken, saying there were no tools to live with debilitating disease.

...it seems like you're the one trying to delude themselves, not us. You're the one denying your reality. Whatever helps you cope, but don't expect others to create a fantasy world where suicide is not an option, or where lies and wishful thinking can keep us going. Not everyone is capable of this.

As for people with tinnitus "topping themselves left right and centre...." this is another often-quoted myth. The only actual study of suicide with tinnitus was a VA study in the US by Martz et al (2018) that looked at more than 750,000 veterans with and without tinnitus. This study showed that...

Catastrophic tinnitus causes suicide, period.

The claim is that it's 1 in 50 deaths. According to this site: "Suicide has a global mortality rate of 16 per 100,000 people."

I certainly haven't heard of anyone committing suicide from chicken pox itch or the tree falling down in the forest!!! PS today at work I mentioned this tragic event the answer was: he probably suffered from something more serious than tinnitus!!! I'm sure medical people would say the same...

Forgive my ignorance but if i can hear it at my pc dors that make it intrusive? If i put some music on it will generally mask it.. i feel intrusive is a vague term. If i sit in my bedroom i hear it ect ect.

Suicide is not the answer

This high pitched noise seems too loud. It isn't stopping. I want suicide. :-(

Tinnitus Talk Support Forum suicide bombers

Before suicide, I would try living with it for forty to seventy years.

Have you decided to live after all your numerous suicide threats here? I think your suicide has always been two weeks away for the last 8 months? I'm happy you turned a corner. Did you start seeing a therapist?

...my way in the future should they encounter challenges in life. Also, the horror stories of people with near death experiences from attempted suicide on YouTube also reaffirmed to me that I needed to at least give my body enough time to heal. 6 months to 2 years are usually quoted by others as...

You know that they had committed suicide?

...How much does it cost? Can anybody share an email address that I can contact them at? EDIT: I just found it on Google. https://pegasos-association.com/faqs/ But €10,000 is quite expensive. In Germany it costs half that, but you need to be a member 6 months before you can do assisted suicide.

...Among all the other things I worry about these days of suffering bad only 4 months after onset of a high pitch intrusive tinnitus (among them suicide) is how the hell I am going to enjoy a summer in my boat - without damaging my ears even more. Its a 150 hk outboard, and most certainly has a...

If I can't get on antiviral, I'll just take the Prednisone. Besides, I can't be made any more or less hopeless than I already am and I have had my suicide planned out since the very beginning, which I'll do upon worsening.

Do we know for a fact that Daniel had committed suicide?

100% in favor of assisted suicide.

Sending you a huge suicidal hug.

Suicide is another tinnitus failed treatment. Try the unthinkable: make T your friend.

You've threatened to commit suicide one too many times now, it no longer registers really. Just get help. Go to psych ward even if they pump you full of drugs. How much worse could you get? Two jets powering up on a runway? So try all the help available!

Fear is one of the imdispu Fear is one of the indisputable symptoms. I have never heard anybody advocate suicide, and I would never condone it if I did. But we all have to admit that, understandably, it happens sometimes.

You would think so, now wouldn't you? Why release early results in March if you don't plan on doing anything? Why not just release everything in May? Can you imagine if we have to wait several years for this drug? How many of us will have committed suicide?

Maybe they're hoping we all just commit suicide. Technically, nobody (alive) would have it.

This has already been mentioned but I think it's very important. I want doctors to know how debilitating tinnitus is. That it drives many people to think about or commit suicide.

...It's either the compressor roar in one of the rooms, or the deafening sounded of the air through the handlers. My head is exploding. I must move somewhere with a quiet mini-split A/C. Otherwise I will commit suicide over this garbage. In the end it is hyperacusis that will kill me, not...

That’s an interesting (and sadly rather uncommon on Tinnitus Talk) opinion. I wonder what you think of the Gaby Olthuis situation, regarding (assisted) suicide?

...on brother! We aren’t even considered “survivors” because our illnesses are invisible, they don’t know the agony we must endure everyday. Suicide really doesn’t even have to be justified, that’s spot on, like why is society telling me what I can and can’t overcome? I mean I’ve lived in my...

...the ringing started. Basically it took him 4 months to get to the point of doing the unthinkable. I got tinnitus in late May and my last suicide attempt was in the beginning of October, similar timeline. Now I'm not suicidal anymore despite daily suffering. I really think he should have...

I feel similarly. It's either hear the screaming in silence and wavering sound, or listen to white noise and hear distortion, thumping, twinkles everything. The low hums and thumps are... loud... and... suicide inducing by far. I can live with a ring.

...happens when it happens. When I first got tinnitus my living environment was much noisier, and my tinnitus scared me. I seriously thought of suicide. Had to stop going to tinnitus groups in person since talking about it made my perception of it even louder. There were several people in those...

Where's assisted suicide when you need it.

...believe that Gaby had a serious health problem. My family is also understanding (not my partner, really) but I am sure that if I committed suicide today they would think it was depression or that I had "other problems". On the other hand, suicide is not an option because I have a daughter...

I'm not against it, but after how much time should it become a possibility?

If I commit suicide, not only will the tinnitus be gone but I won't be feeling this depression about my family situation anymore so it's a win-win.

This type of remark is totally uncalled for and greatly demeans the purpose of support and has nothing to do with the original post. Making flippant remarks about suicide is seriously wrong - especially for people whose lives have been forever changed after losing a loved one by suicide.

i'm suicidal but after having a discussion about it with a person here i decided it's not good to talk about suicide in these threads. ninyu, your posts make other people consider this final exit so what if you took it away here?? there are suicide sites and chat groups out there you can join

That's the same as 1-800-SUICIDE. Those generic suicide hotlines don't know CRAP how to help tinnitus people...

Thanks for your reply. From what I read, I thought you were doing better. Do you also have the loud reactive kind of tinnitus? How old are your kids? Is your wife supportive?

I am not suggesting the word "suicide" or discussion about..should be verboten... but the support and encouragement for this final desperate act should be. Also... perhaps in agreement are those sadly misguided people.

I’ve always felt this way. It’s not the suicidal who are selfish, it’s the people who want to force them to live for their benefit that are selfish.

@AliasM, I totally understand your suffering as I've been suffering myself with this horror. It's perfectly normal to think about suicide in the first months, but please give yourself enough time. The rule of thumb is at least 2 years.

Neither is suicide, but I'm too much of a wuss to be able to pull that off. I just want something to take me out, of which I am in no control. I'm done.

No

Stay with us, Travis. There is always hope. God bless your soul.

...I don't. I will always disagree with people like you. I have ear pain and horrible loud tinnitus and I think people should be allowed to suicide if they can't take it anymore. Call it euthanasia or assisted suicide, whatever you want. No one should be forced to live with this if they...

Suicide for mild T?Dont be crazy Cillian there's people out there way worse than you living life to the full!Your still new to this too so there's every chance it will go away on its own for you.

This forum needs a "painless and reliable suicide methods" section...

The fact that women are more likely to be dismissed by both the medical profession and their families probably greatly contributes to this difference.
