    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Small update ... I managed to do 36 hours of fasting, not more, because of terrible headaches, so I had to eat something ... but it calmed the terrible T's from Saturday somewhat, so now I'm back to an acceptable level. I'm trying to follow a paleo diet to see how this will affect my T, but...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Good luck Makrohn, please keep us posted. Yes meditation is very good too, this is what healed for most part a friend's T, but I have a hard time to do it daily, I'll try the breath exercises first with the fasting too. I never did it, so it can't be bad for the whole body to have some rest...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Hi Makrohn, so sorry to hear this, stay positive, there will be a solution for us, and I agree, anxiety is probably what makes it worse, or depression, but I also tested something I forgot to mention. Two days ago I ate a teaspoon of honey and 5 min later I had some new sounds in left ear, which...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Thanks Makrohn, I'm very interested in this. I too did deliberately some tests this week, and I must say I regret as my T is spiking so hard since yesterday eve it's almost impossible to deal with. So what did I change this week and especially yesterday ? I ate a banana again two days ago (I...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Will do for sure! good luck to you too! And I agree it's not easy to follow, so what I do now, I do my best, that's all I can do, and we'll see, but I feel the non sugar diet is quite interesting.

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Hello and sorry for the delay, I wanted to give some kind of update on my experience ... This morning my T is very mild, definitely less agressive as it was, this seems to happen more frequently now, especially in the evening, but now also in the morning, but here is what I experience, and it's...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    To all people interested, maybe a good idea to read this success story from another T sufferer. I think he's perfectly right on what he's saying : https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/starting-to-think-my-tinnitus-is-mostly-psychosomatic.24128/

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Hi Makrohn, sorry to hear and hope you'll find a solution to your problems soon! Yes I agree with you it's not a hearing issue it's all psychosomatic ... at least that's my conclusion of it.

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    I agree with you Marlino, in some cases I thought it was the T that caused me anxiety and stress, but then in some cases I found it didn't really bother mat all. Then again it was something else that gave me stress, work related or so, so after a while I found that indeed the sound is...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    There's also a gut-brain and stress link I'd like to explore more, there most be a reason why some people are less sensitive to stress then others, I mean not just a genetic difference.

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Maybe, at moments when I'm really feeling smooth and relaxed, I have the impression the hissing is less loud. In terms of level my initial T (hissing) I have since more then 15 years is very loud (8-9/10) I can hear it when I go out or go to small gigs, but it definitely decreases to 5/10 when...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    My own drum player from my band, they had T after drinking too much coffee, but it went away afterwards when he stopped drinking coffee for a few days. Last week I talked to a friend bass player when he was young he always had T when he was auditioning at school. Indeed we're all different, but...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Well I saw some links on the web and initial studies going into that direction, but seem that I'm not the only one making this link, ou have your point of view, i respect that, no problem but for me the anxiety and stress was already there waaaay before the T, actually my first T's began right...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    I'm not sure about this, I'm just trying to evaluate what I'm experiencing myself, and interesting to see that quite a lot of people here have stress/anxiety issues and so the link for me, I think it's not just a hearing issue but more a psychological issue in most cases, or at least it makes...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    I agree with you about managing stress, but maybe a little more positive on curing T or other issues, even if you can reduce the noise by lets say 90% managing stress that would be good, also I am sure that if you believe in something (yeah that placebo effect) that many things can be...

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    From what I see there's a big link between stress and T, and that also gives hope to find solution, as you can do something about the stress, not always easy but there are solutions.

    What If It's Just the Stress or Anxiety?

    Thanks for all your input, it's indeed a complex situation but from some studies it seems indeed that anxiety can affect hearing, at least for me I'm sure the stress is the important co-factors to develop T in "most" cases, but stress also exist in different forms (food, work, inflammation, ...)...

    Hi all, http://www.anxietycentre.com/anxiety/symptoms/ringing-in-the-ears.shtml "Although not mentioned on many medical websites yet, recent research has found that ringing in the ears is not actually related to the ears but caused by increased electrical signaling in parts of the brain...
