What's the Point? No Matter What I Try to Do, I Will FOREVER Have My Tinnitus and Hyperacusis...

What did he propose as solutions for Hyperacousis ?

 

What did he do for your H ?

 

Up...

I am wondering how I can be positive with this shit in my head...

And it is difficult to cope with this and to do all the things in life like the Work and all the things at home !

 

Fuck my life !!!!

How life can be this horrible ???

And it can get worse... this is the worst part...

 

Salut Christophe,

I feel with you.
I‘m currently in holiday and having one bad day after another.
Bad days mean I hear the t as soon as I’m not heavilly distracted, this means even in a noisy car at high speed with music on. So I cannot enjoy the holiday at all, not a single day so far.
When a bird sings I faintly remember the feeling how easing and relieving this was to me prior to this.

Maybe you want to tell why your life is so cruel at the moment and how your T is giving you a bad time?

 

You live in Switzerland. At least you have that going for you.

 

I'd give my left arm to live there...

 

Or to be tinnitus free. Just raising the standards...

 

True I could move to Switzerland if I Really want to, but not get rid of this...

 

At least moving there doesn't require to loose your left hand. Not that you could be tinnitus free though by loosing it, but you get to read many similar statements of people that are willing to exchange their limbs for silence.

 

Many people from here, Switzerland, would love to live in California...

 

Yes we have a good quality of life here... But also everything is expensive !

And I have to live in a small appartment because the rent is very expensive...

And regarding Tinnitus it doesn't change anything...

 

Hello Marlino,

Thank you for your message...

Are you still on Holidays ? Can you enjoy and rest ?

The thing is that I have other points to manage in my life, a body which is very tired and I have troubles with my joints, also due to tensions...

I am quite depressed since many years, to me it is quite hard to get up every morning to go to work...

But I know that I eat too much sugar these days... So I calm down the sugar from today ! I have to ! Otherwise I will get very depressed again...

 

Isn't that matched with your higher salaries?

Would you be able to fix this problem if you were willing to take longer time (e.g., 45 minutes) to commute to work?

Others have T AND don't live in Switzerland.

 

Yes but it doesn't change anything about T...

 

Aside from the climate it's not that great. Expensive housing too.

 

Yes but the climate here in Switzerland is quite cold and grey... Not every day but quite a big part of the year...

And people get depressed about it, especially at the end of the year...

I think for the same salary in California you buy a house and in Switzerland you just rent a small appartment...

Also the way of life I think is maybe better in California... ?

 

I have a difficult week... I find it quite long and I am tired !

Stressful day at work and I eat too much sugar since long time... I need to calm down !

 

California is awesome, but it is my understanding that the state government has been having financial problems. In the long run, it might end up not being a good place to live.

 

I can say this much, you might always have the tinnitus...but there is some hope for hyperacusis . I had horrible hyperacusis for close to 4 years, in the early years of my tinnitus ordeal. I went to a professional audiologist and it was a bit pricey and it did take close to 8-12 months of treatment. It was worth every penny for me and my quality of life improved a lot.

Don't ever lose hope, things can get better

 

This (above) is very good advice.

Working with CBT, with a therapist, can really help patients to feel better, in a relatively short period of time, but it has been conclusively shown that people who use only CBT books can benefit greatly, as well. CBT is one of the most common forms of therapy used today, and is widely considered to be a very effective method of learning how to cope with all kinds of problems, including tinnitus.

Get the book that maltese recommends, Feeling Good, and if you can, one of Dr. Burns' other books, The Feeling Good Handbook. I have both, and am currently working my way through them, using the step by step instructions. You must do the written exercises, and incorporate the concepts into your mind. You can change the way you think, behave and feel, for the better.

 

Saying schizophrenia gets cured is as wrong as it can be. We don't even understand the brain guys, how could we possible expect there to be cures, it would have to be like antibiotics (when a scientist discovered antibiotic by an accident).

 

Now it is bad to live there ?

No work ?

 

Thank you for your message !

Yes I think Tinnitus is for life but indeed the clearly worst part is the Hyperacousis !

I am not sure if we have this kind of specialists here in Switzerland, they all seem so lost in front of this trouble...

 

I never said you can cure it I said some of the symptoms can be controlled

 

Last Friday, I was going to rent a car with a shuttle bus... And when I just went out of the bus, there was a very loud comprimed air coming out the engine, it was very loud !

And I was just next to it...

I hope it didn't make my Tinnitus worse...

 

I cannot avoid all the very loud noises !!!

 

This is the reason I wear ear plugs or ear muffs when I am outside...

 

I can understand, but to me if I put all the time my earplugs on, my T is very strong inside my head...

And I don't want to do this actually...

But in the other side, I cannot avoid all loud noises... Especially "surprise" loud noises...

 

Have you try listening to some pink noise for your H ?
