MemberHello my brothers and sisters in the tinnitus family!
Let me first start with a short introduction;
My name is Marius, I am 37 years old and live in Norway with my wife and 4 children.
I have a moderate/severe hearing loss in both ears and have been using hearing aids since 2009, I am now 100% dependent on them to hear everyday sounds and communicate.
In 1996 when I was 16 years old, I got tinnitus in my right ear following an firework explosion. Shortly after that, my left ear also started hissing a long. I made a bunch of bad choices for my hearing in during my twenties, and I am 100% sure that I made it very much worse by attending clubs and concerts on a regular basis. Today I have very intrusive tinnitus in both ears and I am having a hard time coping with it all. Both anxiety and depression is making things a lot more difficult, and for now I have more dark than bright days.
Therefore, I need to do SOMETHING about this situation that gives me meaning and maybe relief to some of the other sufferers around the world.
I have been looking around on this forum and I see there are divided thoughts when it comes to a cure or some relief for our tinnitus. I have also seen there have been some efforts in making awareness before, but I want to make an effort myself. So, if you are still reading, please hang in for the last bit (that's the good part).
Working as an Internet marketing manager, my plan is to make a short movie/film about tinnitus. I will be using myself in the film speaking very short about how tinnitus affects my life and what the current state is when it comes to cures, treatments and research.
In this video, I would LOVE to have contribution from all over the world. I am thinking just a short clip where you say something like; e.g. "Germany needs a cure" if you are from Germany. Also, I want it to be said in your native mother tongue as I will be using subs.
When the video is done, I will release it to you, and you are free to share it wherever you want. The goal is, to get it out there and spread the word.
I know there are some of you that thinks this kind of videos don't mean much, but I believe it does mean a ton more that just sitting here and suffering in silence... well not complete silence, but you get the point
So, first, I would like to know if there are any interest of this and who would like to contribute?
Feel free to send me a PM if you have questions of anything!
I hope to hear from YOU!
I wish you all the best, Marius!
