    Poll: Would You Trade Your Tinnitus for a 5-Year Prison Sentence?

    I would take 30 years in prison over tinnitus. I'm not joking at all. Also, I would trade my legs for a reduction of only half of the tinnitus volume. I told this to my therapist, and at first, he thought that I was joking. The general public doesn't know how this condition makes us suffer.

    Going to Dentist: What Preventive Drugs and Steps Should Someone with Tinnitus Consider?

    Did I hear that the laser machine itself makes a very high-pitched noise? I guess you can use earplugs since there wouldn´t be an occlusion effect.

    Suicidal

    The "relief" that I experienced is nothing close to silence. I still had many sounds and annoyances, but the new electric ultra high-pitched sound was much less severe. I adapted to having sounds all over my head. If I'm suicidal now is because this sound cuts through everything and is...

    Minimizing Risk of Hearing Damage / Worse Tinnitus: 3-Hour Flight vs. 30-Hour Train Ride?

    I would choose the train because I had problems equalizing the pressure even before I got tinnitus. If you don't have this problem, I would choose the plane.

    Eight Years of Tinnitus — My Life Is 100% Normal Now

    It has been a long time since I related to something said in the forums.

On the other hand, someone...
