Almost 4 years and i can't concentrate properly.. feeling really lost

2080 for noise-induced hearing loss and noise-induced tinnitus.

What an age to live in, where you rather have any other disabillity or impairment but severe tinnitus and hearing problems. With no urgency...

You should have your hearing evaluated, at least have a standard hearing test (audiometry) - I hope for your own good that you don't have any...

What were the hearing levels at the audiogram (if you mind sharing)? If you have elevated thresholds, it's unlikely that the concert was the...

I'm at a stage where I can no longer go on with the severity of the disability. I can't comprehend 90% of what's being said daily. Bear in mind...

Almost 4 years of complete dysfunction and for what?? for a damned stupid part time job. No treatment, no prospect of future treatment.

My hearing is at a stage where following a 10 second conversaiton is impossible. i can't comprehend 90% of what's being said.

I'm completely done with this BS. I'm going to finish my semester at uni and apply to Pegasos. Stupid to lose your life over a BS job at a café...

Too real.

We as a community should articulate to researchers that bad tinnitus causes cognitive disabillity that few conditions cause at that level.

I can't take another day of this torture, i can't! I have already thrown away more than 3 years of what should be my prime years for it to get...

Seeing the Adderall shortage right now, imagine we had the same lobby that ADHD has, then we would also be functioning human beings as well.

If it wasn't for my audiometric loss at 6 kHz, I would tend to believe it, but I have 15 dB and 20 dB loss at 6 kHz which is a massive loss,...

At this point I sound like a broken record. 3 years is more than enough to wait to get better, and my functional hearing and my tinnitus (which...

Hi Elliot. I know how it feels, believe me I do. I have acquired tinnitus and hearing problems about half a year before starting university (only...

Hi Denis, it's unlikely that the hearing damage is from the Azithromycin you shortly took. Can you post your hearing levels from the audiogram...

That's great that your hearing functionality is fine. I'm hard of hearing with hearing levels 15 and 20 (dB) at 6 kHz. Goes to show that hearing...

Your hearing loss is very substantial. It's really interesting that your hearing loss is greatest in the 8 kHz region, because in noise-induced...

My life has no value since I have become disabled due to tinnitus and hearing problems. It's been over 3 years and there is no purpose in...

It's surreal that i (inadvertently) threw my life away because of a noisy part time job, life ruined and there is nothing i can do about it.

Hey man, i seem to have the same threshold loss as you do at 6khz albeit i'm about a decade younger than you. Do you feel the loss there makes it...

Why the inclusion criteria doesn't take into account the 6 kHz threshold? It's as important as the frequencies up to 4 kHz in speech...

Thanks. It's really heartwarming. I wish I had left for good preferably by going back to normal life but by being dead is the other option which...

I don't see any reason for myself to continue living like this, I have nothing to fight for anymore. For the past year I have tried going back to...

Man I feel the same. And tbh, if you ask me, there is no such thing as habituation, most tinnitus sufferers just naturally get better to the point...

ANA titter - positive 1:80. ANA pattern SPECKLED. DNA ab conf - negative. I don't know what to make of this really.

My friends visited me today and I couldn't help but cry immediately. Catching up with them I realized how much I'm missing normal life and how...

Same:( I never thought modern medicine can't handle a ayriad of debilitating medical problems. At least we tried, I wasted over a year visiting...

Well, instead of speculating to no end you should undergo a battery of audiological tests to prove/disprove cochlear damage and find the cause. I...

Are you sure you never exposed yourself to excess noise? No headphones at all? No noise from a job you held? You should have full audiology...

You probably have some damage to your auditory system and, if you will have the full battery of tests, the damage will be detected. Otherwise...

Same here. Life is pure hell with damaged health and inability to function like a normal human being. One can't be tortured like this forever.

Chronic neuropathy in the limbs (they are still unsure of the cause), permanent cartilage damage in both knees due to an unfortunate accident that...

Some of the conditions don't seem to result from lupus. I'm waiting for the ANA results to confirm diagnosis. I probably will have an answer later...

I made sure to point out the reason for my suicide several times in the letter - the severe tinnitus and hearing problems (and other physical...

Yesterday was the first time I fully accepted my inevitable suicide as the only mean to end this unimaginable suffering I'm enduring. I'm still...

I'm having a hard time believing that COVID-19 caused my ear problems to that extent but I will never really know. I lean towards the noise in...

I did try everything. Apart from drugs that are unavailable. I tried also everything to diagnose my hearing problems that baffled even a professor...

I'm wondering what should I do with all the money I have saved. I thought about going on a trip to burn my money before I off myself but then...

Man I don't even think I will wait for my legs to get better. I'm so done with this hell already. I'm looking for a rental apartment in a high...

If I had told you the amount of medical problems I acquired after tinnitus and hearing problems it would sound like a cruel joke. I'm f***in 21...

Thanks everyone for the support and help thus far. I have been tormented more than one could ever fathom, but if nothing can get better so I...

Don't be sorry for the negativity. We severe sufferers have no reason to be positive after suffering tremendously for so long and without any...

Undergoing TMJ surgery today. Will update if there is any effect on the tinnitus/hearing problems.

Life is stupid, no way what's waiting behind the corner - destroying your health and thus your life. Life up to that point was a simulation.

I have been feeling detached from normal life for many months now. Now I'm feeling detached from my body and brain - both deteriorated beyond...

It will take up to a week and the surgery is next Thursday. It probably won't affect the tinnitus let alone the hearing problems but it's the only...

What keeps me somewhat sane these days is the fact that I won't have to survive like this any longer than 2 weeks, I only have to try the jaw...

The last thing I'm really going to try is the jaw surgery, albeit I know it will probably have no effect on hearing problems and the tinnitus. I...

I truly understand this. I live near an operational air base and F-15's are rattling the sky every few minutes, on some days less action and on...

Can't wait to be done with this nightmare.

It's living like a normal person that I seek, not surviving as I have had enough of this - almost a year of merely surviving, nothing got better...

Even though I made peace with my inevitable ending it's still depressing to have my life ruined by something so petty... Part time work in a café....

I often wonder what my life would be like without all of this, just living like a normal human being. Human life is about overcoming obstacles,...

Hey Christian - sorry to hear about your situation. I don't know if you were exposed to dangerous amount of noise but I got it from working in a...

Consonants are actually the more significant part regarding speech comprehension problems in HFHL and speech comprehension in general. Speech...

Hey man. I truly feel the same, I'm only 16 months into this but mine was severe from 6 months of onset even though I protected my hearing...

Let me guess, you are right handed and have a history of power tools or firearms? If you do, it does explain the difference between the ears.
