    I'm Sorry, Everyone. I'm Not Weak and This Isn't Suicide, There Was No Other Way to Hear Silence.

    I don't need you to. Your words speak for themselves what kind of person you are. It's too bad that so many people have poured their heart out over your suffering only for you to post this toxic stuff to a person who really needs help.

    There Is Much You Can Do for Your Tinnitus and Hyperacusis

    I think you are right that these things can help. We know that spinal problems can contribute and that anxiety and stress can ramp up our symptoms. I suppose I am curious about what treatments are available to sound induced hyperacusis/medicine induced hyperacusis as these are pieces to the...
