My wife has tinnitus and it's so strange to me that there's so little research into this topic and absolutely no answers or relief for people that suffer from it.

It’s a complex disease with many mechanisms and causes but it doesn’t really kill people. So hard work and little urgency.

It doesn’t directly kill people, but a cause of suicide due to the extremely high impact of Tinnitus on mental health

True, but nobody says xy died of tinnitus which is the deciding factor

I agree.

I just wish things were different, and tinnitus taken more seriously as a life-threatening illness.
