I have chronic, debilitating tinnitus that has destroyed my enjoyment in life, murdered my sleep, i become insomniac and dependent on sleeping pills, and the loud debilitating noise doesn't even wanna leave me even for 1 min.
So i told my husband that i can't take this anymore, i said to him i wanna do VAD in Switzerland, with such a heavy heart for him to decide, he agreed. He still hopes i will change my mind but he respects my decision and hope things will change but from people's experience who have chronic tinnitus and hyperacusis , if tinnitus doesn't disappear in 3 months, it will most likely be permanent. I love silence and I can't imagine living without silence for the rest of my life.
Now I'm thinking how should i tell my parents? Because their criteria is, they should be informed but no supporting letter or consent letter from them is needed.
