@tomytl, that's good man. I know there are some similiar things in London as well but I'm still dealing with other stuff. Maybe you can find some useful information there.

@tomytl, I forgot what you were doing. What was it again?

@tomytl, I'm really happy that you're improving man. I wish it was the case for me but no. Not only I'm still suffer the same level from T but also dealing with government's new plan to stop benefits. I'm still wishing to die. I hope it happens soon so that I don't suffer more. I don't want to...

@tomytl, everything is the same. It's a never ending torture.

Before this ear issue, my life was quite good and peaceful. I was living a great life on my own, independently of my health problems, the issues in my country, or my family. However, this incident ended up ruining everything.

@tomytl, A tissue needs to be removed from my body, it is called a pilonidal sinus. The situation in my country is very bad. It’s almost impossible for me to live there. Moreover, my family has been affected by the country’s situation. My brother and mother have their own problems. Being there...

I wish I were weak so I would have already killed myself.

@tomytl, No one can easily handle what I’m going through. In fact, I can’t say that I’m handling it either. People who go through just one percent of my struggles can’t cope even with the heaviest medications, and here I am, alone in another country, penniless, broken up with my girlfriend, far...

@Markku, is it still your motto or has it changed?

@tomytl, If I were in your place, I would try different hearing aids and start using a good one regularly if there is one. In some countries, there is something like a free trial period; I don’t know if there is such a thing in Switzerland, but it could be worth researching. I hope everything...

@tomytl, Can’t the doctors find any reason? I probably won’t be that lucky either. Most likely, I’ll be examined by a single, inadequate ENT specialist. Honestly, I have no expectations.Do doctors not even know what might be causing your ear issues, or what needs to be done?

@tomytl, I understand very well what you’re trying to say. If you’re in a situation where you would benefit from a hearing aid, it’s best not to delay because I’m in a large hearing support group, and people share the same opinion: “We wish we hadn’t postponed using the device for so long.”...

@tomytl, can you see any improvements at all?

@tomytl, But what I do know is that it’s definitely not as common as people with tinnitus might think. Some people think this way because when patients visit doctors for various reasons and mention they have tinnitus, the doctors sometimes don’t know, sometimes don’t understand, and sometimes...

@tomytl, I thought I was the only one feeling like this.

@tomytl, I’m trying to take back control, but it keeps slipping through my fingers; I just can’t grasp it. I don’t know how these past 4 months went by—it’s like my life collapsed around me. My sense of reality has been distorted. I still feel like I’m in a dream. It feels like none of this...

@tomytl, My life was going well, getting even better, and then suddenly I found myself in this hell, all of a sudden. A burden heavier than I could bear was placed on my shoulders. Maybe one day I’ll start using something, I don’t know right now. When this all first started, I was afraid it...

@tomytl, Up until four months ago, I really had a peaceful and happy life. Has tolerance developed to Xanax? How long have you been using it?

She has done so much for me, and we shared many beautiful memories together. She is also unable to work right now due to some health issues, and since she couldn’t manage to support both of us and seeing me like this, trying but failing to help, we had to break up. It really hurt me, my friend.

@tomytl, Thank you for the recommendations. I need to proceed step by step, first by setting appointments, then scheduling surgery, and after that, finding a place to live, etc. But breaking up with her is what hurts me the most. She had wanted to marry me for a long time, but because of my...

I want to solve all of these tangled problems step by step, but how long can I go on like this?

A new shared house, new people, surgery, months of dressing changes, I won’t be able to work, and on top of all of this, I’ll have to deal with the constant screaming in my ears. I want to tackle things step by step, but death always seems like the only solution. However, I don’t want to hurt my...

All of this convinces me every night that the only solution is to die. All of these problems stem from my ear condition. Before, my life was wonderful. I still can’t believe everything that has happened. Life will only get harder for me.

My hearing issues, the fact that not having money makes everything harder, being alone during my surgery, and dealing with all of this while the endless screaming in my ears continues. On top of that, I’m living in a different country with no one to rely on, no family, no friends, and coping...

@tomytl, Breaking up with my girlfriend, trying to find a new house, trying to convince the jobcentre that I can’t work due to tinnitus, my upcoming surgery date, landlords not renting to people on benefits, my girlfriend constantly crying and moving into her friend’s place, my inability to...

@tomytl, No, there is no improvement for me. I cried all day today. I also slept to escape from hell. Only when I sleep, if there are no interruptions, can I find relief. What do the doctors say about your condition? Are they able to help?

@Yellowblue44, I prefer the sound to come from an external source rather than inside my brain. It partially helps me. It needs to be played at a frequency close to the ringing frequency, with an adjustment to the sequence.

@Pinhead, I'm struggling so bad, man. I spent my whole day crying.

@L along the way, I can hear it over everything. It’s as if it’s being transmitted to me through a different audio channel. Unfortunately, there’s no way to beat this fucking thing.

@tomytl, it doesn't let me see. It says "You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action."

@tomytl, many people of this community has the self guilt and that's understandable but it's not helpful either. It's better to focus on what's good for us. Our time is limited and we are not in this world only to suffer.

@tomytl, can you send me a link of that sound? Let me see if it hepls me.

@tomytl, Yes, my situation is exactly the same, unfortunately, there has been no change. Thank you. In the first few weeks, I lost an incredible amount of weight; my appetite was completely gone. Then I started gaining weight again. In the meantime, since I also quit smoking, that had an effect...

@tomytl, You have two success stories from before. Of course, it doesn’t have to happen the same way or within the same time each time, but having succeeded before shows that it’s possible. Let’s be patient and wait a little longer, as they say, "time heals all wounds."

@tomytl, I feel like you already in a better place man.

@tomytl, I wish at least I didn't hear mine 24/7 everwhere. Sometimes I can't hear certain things because of it.

@Yellowblue44, No, I don’t have Meniere’s disease. My tinnitus doesn’t get masked; I just feel partially relieved with some methods. Neither of the two ENT specialists applied any treatment. One of them just said that my complaints would decrease over time. Since the MRI and other tests came out...

@tomytl, I know that it has been effective for many people, and those I’ve mentioned say that after receiving the treatments, their tinnitus gradually decreased. Even if it didn’t completely go away, they now say it no longer has any negative impact on their lives. If I had received these...

@tomytl, I’ve met and come across many people who recovered after receiving early treatments following acoustic trauma. When I experienced acoustic trauma, no treatment was applied to me. There are 4-5 different treatments applied to others. My life was blatantly stolen from me. Anyway, I don’t...

@Yellowblue44, Yes, I have hyperacusis. The biggest obstacle to going outside is that as I am exposed to sound, I start to lose my balance, feel like I’m drunk, and experience confusion. I experience this when I’m outside, at the market; it doesn’t have to be a very loud sound for me to feel...

@L along the way, Most of the time, I can’t live without ACRN and masking sounds. It’s inevitable that I will have to work remotely but I haven’t found a job yet. Even if I did, can life even be called life like this? Fuck this BS man. I'm so tired.

@tomytl, That’s exactly why I tell other people as well. Everyone’s experience with tinnitus is different in terms of intensity, frequency, and type. For example, when I describe my tinnitus here, believe me, there’s even more to it, not less than what I’m telling. Mine isn’t the kind that ever...

@Chess, Exactly like this.

@Pinhead, I’m thinking the same thing. All the plans and goals I had right before this event are gone. I want my old peace back, but there’s nothing I can do.
