...subset of the tinnitus population, so it’s hard to say with certainty. Here’s what we know about Kent and the timeline of his unfortunate suicide: Owner of the noisiest restaurant chain (Texas Roadhouse) in existence Contracts COVID-19 in November 2020 Develops severe tinnitus from COVID-19...

...compassionate use for these treatments. It takes wayyyy too long for these things to become widely available. A lot of us are on the brink of suicide and don't have the willpower to wait for a wide release because they've already been waiting for years or even decades. It's ridiculous that...

I'm so tired of suffering ya'll. Is there any assisted suicide available in the United States?

...studies which have found no association after adjusting for all comorbidities. someone with tinnitus might be slightly more likely to commit suicide than the average person but even that is pretty debatable based on the data we have at present. people with T who lol themselves tend to be...

LInk: https://sfaudiology.com/tinnitus-linked-to-suicide-attempts/#:~:text=Researchers%20from%20the%20Stockholm%20Public,tinnitus%20tried%20to%20commit%20suicide. Either way, those are some impressive and sad numbers.

...is shocking to me how this is possible. I don't know how to describe it anymore. It is almost "aggressive." I think I am supposed to commit suicide. I don't want to die but if the tinnitus is like this, I would rather die than listen to this 24/7. I cannot mask it. I want support to commit...

Yes and it does nothing. That's not true at all in fact suicide is pretty moderate. Better than tinnitus at least.

Unbearably loud to the point of wanting suicide isn't there.

Reappraisal of Kent Taylor's final act: "He did not commit suicide; it was severe tinnitus that killed him." This urges the need for a cure.

What?? Yes there is a big difference but, someone determined enough with half a brain can indeed commit suicide, I am not saying it is exactly easy, but no one is stopping you from doing it.

@gameover, I feel the exact same way. I never thought much about death or suicide pre-tinnitus. I felt like life was pretty good. But now, I'm constantly thinking about what could possibly kill me sooner or what can I do less of today to reduce my chances of living longer... because now I have a...

I personally think that we should think twice before posting anything related to suicide and tinnitus. Unfortunately I think when tinnitus hits us the scary thought of suicide passes through our minds. I wasn't an exception. What do you think will go through a person's mind who just got...

All I can say is that most people have successfully gone on benzos for tinnitus & then have tapered off; preferably with the close supervision of a doctor or being aware to do it in small stages & sometimes by taking another medication in its place before tapering off them. Most people's...

Same tiny piece of info isn't mentioned in your laws. I still wonder why. If you attempt suicide and you fail, there are repercussions. No one says that anywhere. I don't know if it would dissuade someone thinking about it... it might because not all suicide thoughts are impending signs it...

He is planning suicide from what I gather. Statistically speaking people that talk about suicide are less likely to kill themselves than people that don't talk about it. But I don't know about autists, I'm worried he's serious based on some previous similar situations I've read about.

...still hanging in there! What kind of weird/painful symptoms are you having? Hyperacusis can cause all kinds of weird symptoms, as I'm sure many of us here can attest to! Are you thinking of going to the ER because of the symptoms or because you're feeling on the brink of suicide? Sending hugs!

This is a bullshit statement that I think should not have been allowed to remain in this thread. It is one mans bullshit opinion that is against all known research into suicide! I am absolutely disgusted that a doctor would place this quote in a support board!

Suicide.

Wow, I never realized that 1 in 50 people commit suicide(!) It is clear that the sample is biased. Those who survive a suicide attempt are more likely to just want attention than those who don't. And we can't interview the ones who were successful. This myth makes as much sense as saying...

...Especially in the beginning. I've had tinnitus for decades, so that fear that it will always be with me at very loud levels and could lead to suicide has resided. It has not disappeared, but it is almost never present. If it hasn't happened after all this time, I can let go of it. It goes...

The following publication (statistical analysis) looked into the relationship between suicide attempts and tinnitus. It was found that for the sub-group who attempted suicide, severe tinnitus was more common. Key points were: The link to the publication (paywalled)...

Yeah I got diagnosed adjustment disorder because I'm not coping to my severe tinnitus. I suppose I should be more flexible to having been screwed over by life.

Horrendous, awful http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4044732/Murder-inquiry-two-members-family-die-seriously-injured-separate-incidents.html

I agree. Simple information regarding the expected FDA submission date would be helpful. We would not expect them to speculate on when the FDA approval would take place. They could also set expectations on how long it might take to start seeing the device at the audiologist after the approval...

Honestly I never considered it. It's just a permenant solution to a problem. At least it's a solution.

Suicide is an inevitable consequence in this modern world. We need to treat it similarly as an environmental killer rather than saying it is a personal choice. The truth is that humans are impulsive animals who cannot completely control their emotions and choices. You look both ways on the...

That could be true. It is a historical fact that the suicide rate of slaves was so low as to be virtually non-existent. We voted in our best interests. Due to the inflation caused by the Biden and Harris administrations, a significant number of Americans are going hungry because they cannot...

You want to commit suicide over 8 dB tinnitus??? Trust me, it's a non issue. You will get there, I've seen it countless times...

...into this and it is likely to subside. Do what you need to do in order to get through day to day. I know that things are difficult now, but suicide is not the answer. Many people only make their situation much worse with botched suicide attempts - it’s not a road you want to go down. In any...

Hey guys, if you're thinking about giving up please join the Ukrainian militia. It won't be considered suicide so no victim blaming from society, and you'll be remembered as heroes! Just a thought.

I guess that would then be the source of the "0pen finding" principle.

That's totally not true. Almost every religion looks down on suicide, and they actually have more severe punishments for those who commit it. The exception would be Islam but only if you do it for the Jihad. That's just another proof that religion serves mostly one purpose: control the masses...

The thought of suicide is the only thing that comforts me. I cannot continue living like this.

There is no difference in suicide rates between people with tinnitus and people without tinnitus. If statistics were kept on suicide rates for people with severe tinnitus, then there would probably be a slight difference. But not much. Human beings are surprisingly resilient. In fact, doctors...

It isn't psychological. It's an ingrained survival instinct to protect the species. A lot of suicides are driven by anger at another turned inward, not by a desire to die. Anger can override the survival instinct. There's a book you should read, Suicide and Attempted Suicide, by Geo Stone...

NO. In my opinion, a mass suicide would just be chalked up to a suicide cult. I think if one want to make a difference, go to CNN headquarters, tell them you have tinnitus and that you no longer wish to live and give them a tape of your suicide admission that you prepared beforehand explaining...

At least members of Tinnitus Talk who commit suicide because of tinnitus is not a taboo subject anymore and the sad news are given right away on the board, with no hesitation. Way to go @glynis and @Markku for changing the policy of Tinnitus Talk! Maybe we should make a list with members of...

No one here is advocating suicide. They are just fully empathising with feeling suicidal, as it is such an awful condition (if you really really suffer).

When it comes to life or suicide, it is complete nonsense to warn of the addiction risk of benzodiazepines. A dead person does not have any withdrawal problem. In individual cases it is irresponsible to withhold benzodiazepines from severely suffering people. Does anyone have to make a suicide...

Its odd explaining suicide to medical practitioners because I think that they think for people with tinnitus it's coming from this highly emotional self-destructive and spiteful point of view, where in reality it's just like a logical conclusion. Well that's how I always looked at it, just a...

You won't see it now, but 12 months from now you will wonder how you even considered suicide. Life will again be beautiful. Hang in there.

You aren't kidding. Honestly, I have a few rational reasons to keep holding out, but a lot of it is just a fear of death, fear of suicide, fear of failing suicide, fear of ruining my loved ones' lives, etc. The crazy part of my story is I still don't know what's damaged in my inner ear. It's...

I wanted to come back to this thread and thank you guys for talking me out of suicide a few weeks back. Not sure how it’s possible but it seems I started improving drastically after a very loud unexpected sound exposure (yea I know that sounds crazy). I have since started sound therapy. Thank...

...talked with you?! Maybe they read to many nagative posts and think there was no way out? No one knows what a person thinks when they commit suicide. Our brains are so complex. Our brains trick us into believing there is no happiness left. Suicide is so tragic and I really hope that if anyone...

Having written a suicide note last year, I am well aware that tinnitus can drive one to suicide. One of those links was actually an encouraging article about a woman who considered suicide but instead found support. While I am no longer suicidal, I still very much want a cure. But until we have...

Just to clarify the post by theoakapple, it was Kent Taylor, the founder of Texas Roadhouse who committed suicide due to severe tinnitus and perhaps other issues. Jerry Morgan replaced him.

I have to say even though I'm not seriously considering suicide right now, I'm at least partially relieved to have this option for the future if my T gets worse. Actually to me there is no better reason to commit suicide than to suffer from T. (Same for suffering from pain).

While tinnitus can break you down, both mentally and physically to the point where suicide starts to become a viable solution, the idea that it could drive someone to commit domestic homicide seems pretty far-fetched, however. I sense there might be more to this story than we're being led to...

it's my suicide story being played out

I certainly haven't heard of anyone committing suicide from chicken pox itch or the tree falling down in the forest!!! PS today at work I mentioned this tragic event the answer was: he probably suffered from something more serious than tinnitus!!! I'm sure medical people would say the same...

Catastrophic tinnitus causes suicide, period.

Same with me, in my search to reassure myself I found the following video. But who could possibly know for sure!

Suicide is not the answer

RIP Joe. I wish I could follow you. I am also very suicidal. I try to stay alive every day for another day. But my tinnitus is so catastrophic, it is unbearable for me. I am close to considering assisted suicide. It is pure hell every day, every night.

Suicide is basically a no-brainer at this point. I feel so sad for my parents. I’ve discussed VAD with them, but they’re not willing to let me go. I’m gonna have to do it behind their backs. At least it won’t come as a shock to them, and at least I won’t be here to witness the massive pain I...

Thank you for your post. When I read a few stories about people who wants to commit suicide, I always knew they had suicidal tendencies from before. I really believe there is a lot more going on with people who commit suicide.

Forgive my ignorance but if i can hear it at my pc dors that make it intrusive? If i put some music on it will generally mask it.. i feel intrusive is a vague term. If i sit in my bedroom i hear it ect ect.
