    Decision Done (I'll Only Wait for Five More Years for a Solution or Treatment to Tinnitus)

    Just made my concious decision that I cannot live with T for another 40years. It's just to difficult for me emotionally. If they don't find a solution to cure or reduce my T to acceptable level say within 5 years, I'm gonna finish with myself. Another 5 years of masking I can bear, another 40...
