What's new

Hey buddy - I had my appointment with Dr. Stefane Maison at Mass Eye and Ear and signed paperwork to join a future trial for CIL001 if it becomes available. Dr. Maison mentioned hidden hearing loss or cochlear synaptopathy as possible causes of my tinnitus and hyperacusis. Their auditory research lab is top-notch, and I hope they keep getting funding to advance their work in this noisy world.

No one understands me. I'm tired of talking about it. This is slowly killing me and taking my life away from me. I'd rather lose a leg in exchange for complete silence. This is NOT who I was supposed to be.

It's devastating to realize that mine could have stayed mild for God (?) knows how many decades if only I didn't take stupid uneccessary antidepressants which worsened my tinnitus.

I can't live with this for the rest of my life. My life span is shortened.

Just visiting.
