MemberLook, I'm not stirring up a conflict, or trying to. I just wanted an introductory post. Not to point fingers but if anyone @DebInAustralia started it because she referenced my status here.

******************************
Habituation is a psychological learning process wherein there is a decrease in response to a stimulus after being repeatedly exposed to it. This concept states that an animal or a human may learn to ignore a stimulus because of repeated exposure to it.

What you described is literally giving up. If being right is an unhealthy attitude then I've only got a few hours to live. It's more inportant to be right than "happy".

(plus some of your other posts indicating you are a proponent of suicide)
*****************************************************
I don't know why......I just do get the feeling you are trolling.... stirring the suicide cauldron so to speak.
I am not sure about you.
If there existed people that actively protested finding a cure for tinnitus, I would see them as better than the people who think habituation is best. Shoot a traitor before an enemy I suppose
I choose to call it giving up, because that's what it is. I hate to use semantics to make something sound better than what it is, im too laconic for that.

Is anyone who disagrees with you a troll?!I am absolutely not trolling. While I am a proponent of suicide; and believe that anyone should be allowed to commit suicide if they want, I'm far from a troll. And it is giving up, I'm not going to say otherwise because people disagree.
Which gives you a leg up over a lot of other people who think I'm a troll because I disagree with them :^)
Tbh,im not entirely sure what a troll is? presuming it's a term used to describe what Australians would call a * shit stirrer...*?
either way, what i like about this forum is its diversity.

Means a lot of things. In the 90's it was a term used in Internet forums as a off topic low quality post, and now it's an individual who deliberately posts abusive, controversially, or low quality content in order to get a rise out of people.
Like glynis said, I see habituation as just one's way of coping with it. Doesn't mean they necessarily end up leaving the whole community due to it or discourage finding an actual cure. Those who are truly motivated in finding a cure will continue working on it even if they do habituate.
That said, I do dislike it if the doctor's only word of advice is to get used to it. Encouraging taking all steps they can to try to lower the volume is what it should be, not "you can't do anything about it because there is no cure".

I agree. This "there is no cure and won't be" stuff coming from the doctors and the tinnitus sufferers isn't constructive. I doubt there will be a cure soon but I definitely hope their will.
I'm not him so I can't say what is best for him. The guy wanted to commit suicide, and Had bad tinnitus. Considering the fact I'm commenting I don't think the best cure to tinnitus is suicide, but if the burden of living becomes greater than the joy it brings, then suicide is the best option. I stand by that.
Wait a minute -- suicide was your solution to his tinnitus?
Well that's ironic since some people consider suicide "giving up" . . .
Honestly I never considered it. It's just a permenant solution to a problem. At least it's a solution.
There is no afterlife. And if there were, tinnitus is strictly a neurological problem, and when you die your brain chemistry stays behind. Therefore, yes, it gets rid of it.

For a 20 year old you sure have all the answers.
IDK why you are here. You seem to want to argue with anyone who comments on your post. We are all suffering from a condition that causes great distress. For some it will fade quickly, for some it will fade away slowly, but for some it will be permanent. But for all of us it is a personal struggle, and sometimes we reach out to others for support, that what this forum is for.
Neither of my statements were opinions.
@jjflyman thank you for the compliment to my young wisdom :^)
I don't argue with everyone who comments; just people posting misleading comments that are false. That just happens to be a lot of them.

I feel sorry for you.
I hope you find peace
You are now on my ignore list, as life is too short for people like you,
I'm sorry you feel that way. You won't read this but maybe if you unblock me one day you and I can agree on something. Hope you do.

I think you're absolutely correct. I'm also aware that people who disagree with me aren't always, if ever trolls. No matter what your opinion is there's always people who will disagree, and that's perfectly healthy for any open forum. That's why I never block people

The age range can also cause messages to be read in different ways and how one reacts to it.
E.g. young members messages can come across how can I say,energetic and some educated and like myself 52 and calm and relaxed and see things from both sides so we are never sure how one will react.
So caring,thoughtful,friendly ,supportive messages go down better and supportive to members having a really hard time .
A forum is a lovely place to support and cater for everyone's needs and not make enemies ( that word I don't like but may be get members backs up sounds better)
Hope that helps...

Um, you said @threefirefour that this post was to introduce yourself because you are new here. So "hi."
I'll save my thoughts on habituation -- and there are a wide range of views here -- for a habituation post.

It was just an intro post, and it got derailed. I started a new introduction post yesterday.
