I am not sure what happened, but I get days with little tinnitus and then out of nowhere or with small triggers very high-pitched torture changing in intensity, loudness and area. I can do only little then. I hate it. I wish I could cease to exist if that's the rest of my life.

Tinnitus is killing me, I hate it. I hate my life with it. I want it to go away now, or die.

It is a torment. I hope tinnitus will stop.

Tinnitus is killing me...

I have wanted to die for more than a year. Even though my tinnitus has improved over time, I will never be able to accept it, it is so tormenting.

It is torture. I want to die. I never will be happy when it continues. Taking silence from me was just too much. I want it to end.

I want to die, I hate this torment.

I wish not to exist, as I can not be me. I can not think, read and talk with me and others in silence. I find it very unjust, that tinnitus was forced upon me due to idiocy in the medicinal and other important areas of human life and human rights, which were and are in my case being violated.

Do I understand it correctly that the first time you had tinnitus, it went away completely for you? Not even a tiny little sound stayed? And the second time you got tinnitus, over the course of 2 years it went to a mild hiss you hardly ever notice? Thank you for your answer.

I cannot recommend Tinnitool. Be careful here. I still wait for my money to be returned. The thing arrived broken. The seller's communication is awful. He exploited my stressful situation and left me pay the bank fee 2 times. Also, I'll be left with import fees and high shipping costs. If you...

Hello, How are you? Do you mean by vanish that your tinnitus went completely away? Is it still the case?

It was Amitriptyline. I took a very low dose (10 mg) for pain management. I am doing better now. It got quieter and the tones changed (a few days ago again). I hope it stays like this and continues to improve until silence. My last spike was a few weeks ago and was terrifying, the fear of a...

Hello, I hope it is OK that I tag along here. Here are some stories I've found on the internet, for example on a German forum about tinnitus, but not only. I just summarized some basics. Story 1: Cause: Noise induced, acute trauma (fireworks). Duration: 15 years. Time without tinnitus after...

I smoked once a very small cigarette (I am not a smoker, so it was just out of sheer desperation, because I read somewhere it might lessen the tinnitus for some). And the following happened: I felt sick, one of the sounds disappeared completely (maybe it was very quiet) for about 15 minutes, the...

I think normal tinnitus can mess up your perception of sound in the way that it is more difficult to estimate the direction/the source. I also experienced this. And if the sound is loud, it might be therefore difficult to tell if one hears it in both ears/head. This might be one possible...

@Jason C, did you use white noise or similar all the time or almost all the time during your tinnitus? Thank you for your story.

As far as I recall, I read on a German forum for people who struggle with withdrawal or side effects, that Vitamin C and Vitamin E can help. There is also Alpha-Lipoic Acid which might help. These are all antioxidants. I also have two side effects that often occur for me if they are listed, but...

I was told about this here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opipramol. According to at least the German and Swiss leaflets, tinnitus is not a side effect It helped me with sleep and anxiety and thus with tinnitus. I hope this helps.

I wish there would be a switch to turn the tinnitus off. If this is not possible, I wish there would be a switch to end life quickly and painlessly.

I am so terrified of living with it forever, I can't... I really can not do it. I am crying my eyes out while thinking if dry fast would bring my life to a relatively peaceful end.

Hi Max and Sam, I am sorry for what happened to you. I also have the feeling that Melatonin (I took 5-10 mg) and the achieved quality of sleep are helping in reducing the tinnitus, and therefore with healing. I wanted to forward this video as it helped me as well: I found some activities...

Thank you very much for your answer. It encourages me to hear that it went away twice for you! I'm having it for the first time. The things that feels like having the most effect is sleep. Plenty of and deep sleep feels like one of the most important things with tinnitus. In the beginning...

Sorry, I meant the first two times. If it went away completely the first two times? For the case now, I wish you of course full remission! If you don't sleep well, I can recommend Melatonin. One can take up to 5 mg, and it helped me to sleep better.

Hey @eldudebro, @Bennl: Did it go completely away for you after 6 months?

Hello Jason, I see a few parallels with the situation of my wife (she finds it hard to write here at the moment, so I'm taking over). She took Amitriptyline 10 mg/day (for chronic pain and not for depression) for about half a year when the tinnitus suddenly started. She stopped taking it...

Hey, I read your thread. Very interesting. I have tinnitus, very probably mainly from SSRI intake. It changed over time. I will not describe right now all. At this time it is a faint ringing further away, something similar to white noise and a tone that is bothering most, a screeching...
