Since tinnitus is said to occur because the brain is trying to compensate for sounds that it is no longer hearing, if your heart stopped and you died but came back, would the tinnitus go away or come back when you did. What do you think?

Forgiveness is hard whether your condition comes from other people, or from a decision that you made. Either way, you can't change the outcome. It's easy to blame someone else, if they are careless, even though they clearly meant you no harm. The truth of the matter is , most people have never...

First, let me say how sorry I am for your current situation. Spikes and changes in our condition are never easy. No doubt there will be many, many times that most of us will have to adjust to a change. Having said that, Suicide is Never the answer. I understand your pain, I truly do, even though...

Welcome to the forum. I'm sorry that this thing has happened to you though, as it is not a pleasant experience at all. I wish you the best, and hope you find peace with your new reality. It takes time to adjust and some have it better than others. There will be good days and bad ones. That's the...

No, it still rises when I listen to music, but I think that as time has gone on, I have become more tolerant of the rise. Not sure if that makes sense of not, but you get used to certain things happening and they bother you less. At least in my case anyway. It's almost like I know it's going to...

I'm certainly no expert here, and I'm really in the early days of tinnitus (15 months), but I would think that your ears need sound to heal, at least to the level they can. It would seem that cutting off all sound would be detrimental to the healing process. Certainly you should use caution and...

I think everybody here would love to have a cure for this dreaded monster, and hopefully some day we will. The problem is, that cure is not coming over night, and life goes on. I used to love listening to music, and at first that was hard . It's gotten better, in the sense that I can now listen...

Thought about it, yes. I think most people have at one time or another. Will I ever do it, never. I will fight this evil monster til the day I die, and that day will not come by my own hand. My life has changed in some respects, like everybody else here, but I'm still a blessed man. So many...

Welcome Frank. I'm sorry, that like the rest of us, you have to await a cure. Hopefully in time there will be one. In the meantime, I'd like to say, thank you for service. It is greatly appreciated. Enjoy the forum.

I totally understand how you feel. I've been dealing with this nightmare for a little over a year now and it was really tough in the first few months. I know that you don't want to hear this right now, but it does get better with time. I , just like you, said I would never get used to it. I...

Easier than living with a lifetime of tinnitus. Comparatively, yes, ending it all takes just a second. Did I mean to imply that it was not without requiring a lot of fortitude , absolutely not. The decision to end it all is a relatively easy one if you are disposed to that, and it only takes a...

"One mistake" can change your life forever. Unfortunate but true. The simple truth is most of us here probably made that "one mistake" and ended up here. Nobody chose to live with this disease, for lack of a better term. Life throws you a curve and you have to deal with it the best you can. Does...

"Life's most beautiful thing" is life itself. I can certainly understand how you feel. When I first got this dreaded condition I packed up all my guitars, all my stereo equipment, cd's, everything. I wanted no part of the life I had lived to that point. I was mad and angry, and I wanted to die...

Resentful? No. Exhausted at times, yes. With tinnitus being a hidden condition (from the outside you seem fine, normal), it can be hard for people to understand. Sometimes it bothers me that they can imagine what I'm going through, and at the same time, I'd glad they can't (because that would...

Yeah my doctor said the same thing. What a fool. Talking about things of which he knows nothing. It was only after I stopped listening to him that my T begin to improve and lower in volume. I wouldn't listen to any ENT when it comes to my condition. They simple don't have a clue. I'm sorry, but...

Sandra please take the advice that so many have given you here. It's good advice. I like you have developed T just recently (Dec 2016), so it's fairly new for me still. Early on I felt very much like you. I felt that my life was over and that there was no way I was going to live with this the...

Life was never intended to be easy, and a lot of things happen that we will never understand. At least not in this life. It's easy to focus on the bad days that we have and the struggles that drive us insane. I believe in God and I have witnessed miracles in my own life, so I know that He could...

I just recently had hearing loss, with high frequency loss, due to an accident on the gun range. I have tinnitus 24/7 and as can be expected, it's driving me nuts. I have a few questions, that I'm sure someone here can help me with. Went to the ENT, said I had acoustic ear trauma. Didn't...
