(2/2) Right now, I continue not because of me, but for my wife and my family. I don't know what can I do to get a little better. I truly want to live of course, but right now it's hard to see the point in any of this. I just go through days and weeks the best that I can, but it's hard when you...

(1/2) Yesterday I should have had a good day. Easy work in the morning, and later I went with my wife to get a coffee and some doughnuts. Then we cooked some dinner and watched a episode of one of my favorite series, The flight of the Conchords. Anyway, I was feeling terrible and so depressed...

I understand very well what you described. I know what to expect, so please don’t worry. I’m not expecting much, but I’d still like to give it a try. I know it probably won’t change much, but in the best case, it might give me the same soothing feeling that you get from it. Thank you very much...

Thanks a lot for taking the time to give such detailed feedback. I think I’m going to try it if I can. My main concern is customs since I’m not in the US. I can relate to you about not being able to find any masking sound for my worst tinnitus tone. Some of my sounds get drowned out by other...

Could you tell us how it went with the device? I’m so desperate that I’m willing to try anything.

OK, I never try to mask it. The problem is that when I’m driving, when the window of the room I’m in is open and there’s noise outside, when I turn on the air conditioning, or in many other situations where I’m not in complete silence, the reactive tinnitus kicks in. It’s horrible because it’s...

That sounds really great! Thanks a lot for your feedback. I think I’d like to try something like that. Maybe I’ll give it a go once I’ve saved up some money. I know it won’t be a miracle cure for my bad tinnitus, but it could be nice to have something else to focus on. I’d also be interested in...

What are you using it for? Do you find it useful?

Had a mental breakdown while talking with my parents on the phone.

Talking with people makes my new ultra high pitched electric sound go wild. I can stand in silence without much problem, read a book and so on. A little chat or something on TV, and it worsens a lot a it´s highly noticeable. I don´t know how to handle this. It seems like the end.

I can relate so much to you. I’ve been worsening since I first got tinnitus nine years ago. At first, it didn’t bother me too much. Over the years I’ve had many setbacks, but I always managed to get by somehow. Still, it has kept worsening steadily. I have some hearing loss in my left ear...

I would take 30 years in prison over tinnitus. I'm not joking at all. Also, I would trade my legs for a reduction of only half of the tinnitus volume. I told this to my therapist, and at first, he thought that I was joking. The general public doesn't know how this condition makes us suffer.

Did I hear that the laser machine itself makes a very high-pitched noise? I guess you can use earplugs since there wouldn´t be an occlusion effect.

The "relief" that I experienced is nothing close to silence. I still had many sounds and annoyances, but the new electric ultra high-pitched sound was much less severe. I adapted to having sounds all over my head. If I'm suicidal now is because this sound cuts through everything and is...
