    No stress tolerance & suicidal thoughts

For me, tinnitus started after a very stressful period in my life, after moving places, problems at work,...It was quite a shock at the beginning and it took quite a while to adjust to the sound, but fortunately my tinnitus was of that kind that it seemed...
