At least you can hang out with us on the interwebs.
@PetitGarsTimide and @Tempest and I share a lot in common, We are literally suicidal over the fact we can no longer here high pitch noises correctly. Mostly how it ruins/smears music.
Imagine telling that to a soldier with total HF hearing loss, loud tinnitus and balance issues that doesn't care about music and views tinnitus as a badge of honor for fighting the enemy. They'd outright call us wimps and losers and shame us for our lack of masculinity.
Even scientist that are trying to restore hearing would shame us because our hearing loss is not bad enough to effect the human voice range, only ruin music and environmental noises like birds chirping on a windy day. They can always use the excuse of avoiding noisy background environments where our hearing loss is only mildly present in the human voice range.
Most people on this website have tinnitus over 40 decibels and total HF hearing loss and balance issues
if they knew we had a mild form of tinnitus (below 40 db) and some HF hearing left not effecting the human voice range and the vestibular system they would be digusted that we would dare advocate for a treatment just for our spoiled selfish interest even if it benefits them. Most of them have probably never viewed the research thread because they don't care.
Ofcourse there are some exceptions but once again it's a generational thing where the generation before us could tolerate shittier life conditions. I don't care if i'm not mentally tough I can't stand living knowing I will never be able to hear a bird chirping on a windy day naturally. It literally has to do with the fact that mentally ill people cannot adapt to radical changes and refuse to put hard work when theres no reward.

i refuse to be a functioning member of society until science can repair the synapses and hair cells in my ear.
i already have two established mental health problems I dealt with all my life and music was the only thing that kept me going when I was an underdog, Now I really don't care. Failure and being a counter cultural left wing nut is better then suffering pretending to be mentally tough.
It wasn't even loud music that caused my tinnitus, it was a a stupid month long thing that proves I'm mentally ill atleast.

Excuse my rant, but I'm mad.
When I was in the psych ward at the hospital they wanted me to get an MRI. I kept telling them no because I was afraid the noise would make my tinnitus worse. Because I kept telling them no they started threatening to probate me (go to court and have a judge sign an involuntary stay for 90 days). I have kids so that couldn't happen. Ended up getting the MRI because they were total assholes and my tinnitus got worse (surprise, surprise). I had to go to urgent care and ask for prednisone and the doctor was super nice and gave me a prescription, but I feel like death. I can't stay awake and my whole body hurts. I'm going to end up back in the psych ward.

This is what I hate about psych wards. Like forcing people to do things they don't want to do, and especially getting the bill it racks up isn't helping anybody feel better lol.
I hope your tinnitus goes down, sorry medical professionals don't seem to care about hearing damage.
Thank you.
They kept telling me nothing would happen and it would be fine but I knew it would get worse. No matter how many times I told them I would be the one to have to live with the consequences. If I was suicidal about the level it was at before what makes them think I won't be twice as suicidal now??
They even want me to get ECT for severe depression because they read about 2 case studies where people were severely depressed and had tinnitus and the ECT ended up getting rid of the tinnitus. I mean if they could guarantee that my tinnitus would go away I would trade my short term memory in a heartbeat.
debate the doctors and force them to admit modern treatments for psycho mental problems and hearing loss are ineffective and half ass.
Do you mind if I ask how loud your tinnitus is? I used to have awful tinnitus. People with mild tinnitus don't realize how terrible it can be, and think it's all about "muh depression".
I don't think ECT will get rid of tinnitus at all. If it did I'd gladly make that trade too.
They already know anti psychotics are pro depressants. The medicine's for psychotic problems haven't been updated since thw 1970's.
Modern medicine cannot target areas of the brain associated with psychosis's so they just have to suppress domapine and seratonin.
