Is it true that James Hetfield from Metallica has it? I remember watching a Youtube video that claimed that Lars Ulrich has it. But I had not idea that James also did.

It makes no sense to me either. It's hell on Earth. If I die by my own hand, I will more than likely encounter eternal bliss, despite my many sins, having already walked through hell on Earth. I was talking about suicide to someone I've known for many years last night. She's a believer in the...

The thing is if it's a visible condition, like being quadraplegic, people are more likely to be sympathetic. But with something you can't see it's a completely different ball game. In fact, if I were in their shoes and someone told me "my ears ring" I'd be at a loss for words too, maybe.

I have also considered that. But actually, I change my mind every two seconds. Yep, it's that kind of roller coaster. Yeah, you hit the nail on the head.

I wonder if that applies to roaches.

Me too :LOL:

Is that similar to the five-second rule?

@Red It was more of an ironic comment on my part than a statement about the advanced state of medicine in the 21st century. ;) I meant to compare the time when there were no antibiotics or no aspirin or when we did not know anything about microbes or viruses with our own time, when the average...

In my mind it's more than ideation. It's slowly taking shape and it feels good to have that kind of power over your own existence.

I want to believe he cannot handle the thought of me taking my own life and said that. I guess coming home after a long day at work to find the dead body of your significant other is not exactly something you want to ever have to experience. It's definitely brought out the worst in me. I had...

Yup. Where are aliens - you know, the ones that built the pyramids - with their advanced medical breakthroughs when you need them?

As I was in bed last nite, it must've been around 4:30, I started thinking about all the diseases we can cure now that they did not have a cure for back in, say, the 12th century. I mean, wasn't an infection deadly back then? Now you go to your local drugstore with a prescription for antibiotics...

I have been looking back at all the shit I've gone through during the last couple of years and I wish I had a time machine and could go back and tell myself to stop complaining because it's not that bad, you know. Even at my lowest point, when I hit rock bottom, it was not that bad. I just did...

My faith has taken a nosedive since my onset. It is hard to reconcile the idea of a loving God with this condition. I just read in these forums that someone knows a 5-year-old with T. A child that young? I don't know. If there truly is a God, then why does He let things like that happen? I am...

Why though? Almost nobody cares? I guess.

What? I'd never heard of that.

I shouldn't have asked. :( There are a number of conditions I have always been terrified of and now that I think about it, I would give my right arm to have any of those, because at least people that have them do get breaks.

I am sure this has been asked thousands of time and I am sure there is no easy answer, but I just gotta ask. Why is there no cure? I've spent hours googling tinnitus and I always come across the same answer there is no cure. Why? Can anyone give an answer in layman's terms that does not...

What happened? So you were 100% ok and it happened again? Would you elaborate? I am not sure I understand what happened. Thank you. Hi. How do you manage? :(

Yes, I am.

Ringing only for about a month and a half. Whoosing and full ear and pain since the summerr.

Yeah, maybe. He feels he's losing control of the whole situation.

I will. I promise.

Gynkobiloba? :( It started when I took OTC gynko. But the ORL diagnosed T after the gig. They ran tests. Isn't whoosing a symptom along with full ear? I mean, it was painful.

In reply to the original post, I can imagine it is not easy being involved in a relationship with a T sufferer. My significant other and I have grown apart since the onset of my T. He just cannot understand what I have been going through and sometimes I get the feeling there's no point in...

If you mean the ringing then months, if you mean all other symptoms then couple of days, three tops.

Well, I was diagnosed after I went to the ORL complaining of a full ear sensation after I attended a concert and stood right next to the speakers. Yup, silly me. I was so excited about seeing my favorite band that it did not cross my mind it was not safe. Days later, I went to the ORL and I was...

First off, I would like to thank everyone for their support words and their replies. No, I have not. To be honest, I do not feel comfortable talking to psychologists. I have done it before and it did not work. Besides, it would have to be a sympathetic tinnitus-suffering psychologist to truly...

@Autumnly Thank you for your reply. @Bill Bauer I just wish there were a cure.

Since the onset, really. It comes and goes. Same pitch, different volume. When it is barely audible, I can listen for it and it is the same pitch, just quieter, until it decides that I have had enough hope and it comes back with renewed strength to punch me in the face.

Sometimes I can barely hear it, but those are rare occasions.

I am sorry to start this depressing thread, but believe me when I say I have nobody to talk to that will really understand what I feel and what I am going through. Yes, I am seriously considering suicide. I do not really want to take my own life, but this is not life anymore. Period. I have...

Hi, No, I wasn't. I mean, I did have those soft earplugs you can get at the airport. My ORL said it was not necessary to wear them, so I only put them on for the takeoff and part of the descent. It was something similar to this...

I might just try that. As far as my "good" ear goes, I want to make an appointment with my ORL but I'm scared to.

I did last night and the night before, not so sure about tonight.

@glynis Thank you for your reply and support. God knows I need it. Nobody understands what I've been going through since the summer and my family and friends, all well-meaning of course, tell me it'll go away, meaning my T, no matter how much I keep telling them that there's no cure for it.

Hi, I've been lurking in this forum for a couple of months now. I am 101% scared as I am typing this. I got tinnitus on my left ear, but I flew (3 hour flight) from Austria to Spain and now my "good" ear (right) feels slightly clogged and I am not sure if I also hear ringing on that side. I...
