That post has "awards". You know, they euthanize people for tinnitus in the Netherlands...

Depending on the severity of tinnitus, I can understand this. I had severe tinnitus for a couple weeks due to a viral ear infection. After two weeks of that, having a surgeon permanently deafen me or euthanasia were starting to sound REAL appealing if treatment didnt work. Because you can't sleep, and after zero to negligible sleep for a couple weeks you'll lose your freaking mind.

I have it but wouldn't kill myself over it. At least not yet anyway.

Sometimes I focus on the tinnitus to meditate and fall asleep.

I still have mild tinnitus, and that's not a big deal as you mentioned. I doubt they're euthanizing people for that. Bad tinnitus where it sounds like someone's wailing away at a church bell inside your skull 24/7? Euthanasia would be merciful compared to never sleeping again. Because that degree of tinnitus is a rapid path to insanity, suck-starting a shotgun, or both.
