    Cochlear Implants as a Treatment of Tinnitus

    Perhaps you're right, we're supposed to be docile and suffer indefinitely, take verbal abuse from acquaintances, and think about suicide. No one with tinnitus would prefer a cochlear implant to suicide?

    Tinnitus After Loud Nightclub Experience on Holiday — Contemplating Suicide

    I heard loud ringing last Saturday after coming home from a loud nightclub and I'm now finding it hard to cope. It's developed into a high pitch frequency which is making me drowsy, have headaches and leaving me unable to go about my business (p.s I work in a sales office on the phone but...

    Suicidal

    Point is: if option is either stem cells for $25k or suicide, you should take a loan (if you can't otherwise afford) and try the stem cells before suiciding. If they work, you can get your life back and repay the loan, or if they don't and you then commit suicide, the loan won't follow you to...

    Suicidal

    I have sometimes looked at this suicide discussion thread, but I never felt comfortable posting anything in it because I'd feel hypocritical if I did. Here's why: - When I see that someone is contemplating suicide, my first instinct is to talk them out of it. - I am also contemplating...

    Be Honest. Do You Still Enjoy Life?

    ...afterward, as did my ear sensitivity. I feel like I have a Reaper from Mass Effect blaring right next to my cochlea 24/7. It fills my whole head. I have not slept in a week. I'm not eating. I talk about nothing but tinnitus and suicide. I want to crawl out of my own body. I am scaring my family.

    My Ear Suddenly Felt Blocked and Now My Hyperacusis and Tinnitus Are Way Worse

    I must say, I’m usually a pretty positive person. But two nights ago, in the middle of the night, I seriously thought about suicide for the first time in my life. I’m scared—scared that I’ll lose this battle, that I won’t improve. I’m just scared. Since my setback or worsening a little over...

    I get that families will be upset, but I don’t understand why their happiness is more important than your own sanity and well-being. Everybody dies.

    Hearing Loss and Severe Tinnitus — From Loving Life to Suicidal in 2 Months

    In her obituary it said she had an accident and died, but someone else (third hand) here said it was a brain aneurysm. It apparently wasn't suicide in any case. RIP Merlin.

    Moderate Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and Hyperacusis from Shooting Guns (AR-15, AK-47, Shotgun, Pistol)

    You're still pretty early on. I would even try a daily regimen of supplements that benefit hearing. I've been taking Lipoflavonoid daily as well as Taurine, Omega 3, and Lion's Mane mushroom. They may not help, but they surely won't hurt.

    Wow, I wouldn't listen to anything that person has to say. Loud noises absolutely can increase T, and sometimes people commit suicide due to the constant torture, not because of depression, or if depression, then probably was brought on by the anxiety due to the T.

    Absolutely not fucked in the head; I can relate. Serious hyperacusis is such a life-altering condition (even if only temporarily) that I think contemplating suicide is the norm. The human survival instinct is very real too. So, to me, your experience makes a lot of sense. Sending many hugs, Maddy

    I tried a set for one hour, to play some sound enrichment quietly. Now for the past 3 weeks I have had a tremendous setback, catastrophic tinnitus 70% of the time, pushing me closer to suicide than ever. If one has reactivity and/or hyperacusis, I'd strongly recommend not trying hearing aids.
