Seventeen years later...worse now than ever. No day goes by I don't consider taking my own life.

That's funny...stay off your feet. I'm certain I've spent something north of fifteen grand on doctors and their useless recommendations in my attempts to end my tinnitus. I could have simply stayed off my feet for all the good I did myself. Yes, I went everywhere, and was seen by every doctor. I...

Developers of the MuteButton apparently believe the brain will know what change to make once it can differentiate between what they are calling "real" and "imaginary" sounds. This because brain function, according to them, includes, "inherent neurological mechanisms that suppress the perception...

As long as I'm writing something, I can push the tinnitus to the back of my mind. Until I write about tinnitus.

Thank you both, Jim and Greg, for responding to my post. Reading these replies has me fighting back the urge to throw a pity party. Which I'll admit, I've done, and quite often. The tinnitus has shown up at all of them and remains eleven years to this day - the loud uninvited guest who simply...

I want the life I lived before tinnitus. When I read of someone who has suffered for twenty or thirty years I can't imagine how they made it, and yet, I'm well on my way. I'm that different person now, the one I never thought I would become. The one living day to day, making excuses for the...
