    Tinnitus from Vaping

    I bought a Vape on Nov 18th. On Nov 20th I developed a new noise. I had no noise exposure or anything that could trigger it. Now I read of this PG. I'm going to quit it right now. Has anyone had this happen and had it subside?

    Never asked that and somehow I don't think it would matter if you are of sound mind and have a legitimate reason. Which leads me to the question: Should we suffer this for the sake of our children? So we don't destroy their lives, change the course of their lives forever? Or do we put our...

    Further comms from Pegasos... they'd prefer it if your partner was happy to go along with it, reason being some bereaved people have gone after them in court but apparently they have successfully defended claims. If you have depression, you'd need to be checked by a psychiatrist to make sure...

    So would I, but you know what 'it's just a noise' types are like. Spoke to my parents about it. Apparently I'm insane and shouldn't spend €10,000 on a dignified exit. Just commit suicide instead as it's cheaper. My father is a stupid old bastard.

    I spoke to my wife today and she is vehemently against the idea of VAD. Her belief is that VAD should only be applied if you're terminally ill. If not... fucking suck it up and suffer it which is all well and good when you can sit in silence whenever you like. I'm making enquiries with...

    I think VAD at Pegasos will be the way forward for me. I can't talk my wife around to going along with it, so I'm just going to have tell her this is my choice. She can be smart about it and be left with my pensions etc or she can throw a wobbler and divorce me and get left without it. Way I...

    Eardrum Grey, Concave (Pressure Imbalance), Possibly Some Fluid Behind It — How to Fix?

    At Neuromod on Tuesday the Lead Audiologist said my eardrum on the right [the perpetrator of my tinnitus problems] looked grey, concave [like a pressure imbalance] and possibly some fluid behind it. Ear drums are supposed to be pink and reflect the light from the ear thingy. I don't have any...

    New Unexplained Tinnitus Noise (Beep, Intermittent Whine) — What Are the Chances It Will Fade?

    I know and I have too but this one is different. Previously it's been eeeeessss and high pitched noises or bells which I have come to expect. But this is different, like a haunting sound, kinda ghostly.

    I've had a new noise this past 7 days, like a haunting wine glass being rubbed. Sometimes it's definitely there, other times I think I'm imagining it. But it's definitely there. It came on very strong the first day, now has faded but it's still there. I don't know what brought it on. Who...
