Catastrophic Tinnitus

I had not wanted to re-post this; I had previously only sent it to one friend, not even to my family. But it is clear that this clip is being removed from public sight. This is entirely in line with how sufferers of catastrophic tinnitus are encouraged by other less severely affected tinnitus sufferers to shut-up so as not to alarm people. This is an understandable reaction, but it leaves the most severely afflicted with the least voice.

It is not really mentioned in this clip, but Gabe clearly sufferered from hyperacusis (sensitivity to sounds, or collapsed threshold to certain sounds) to an extreme degree.
