      Any advice from any veterans of what they went through regarding my issues would be greatly appreciated. I had a LOT of emotional stress/trauma/anxiety/depression and it started my T 2 months ago. It has been up and down in volume and high pitched left ear only. Until recently in the last few weeks, H has crept in and getting worse (my own voice makes my ears react in a flutter after im done talking) Most sounds are louder than they should be and LOUD sounds are unbearable. I dont have any pain from this at the moment, just extreme discomfort from the ear fluttering and trying to cope with T and now H. Does this get better? Are there things I should do to lessen the fluttering response? I have had bad adrenaline panic anxiety for a while but that has kinda subsided. I believe my psychologist said that im in a stuck state of flight or flight and have only recently calmed down a bit from this. I am on Lexapro now and Trazadone to help sleep. She told me that if I can reduce my stress, anxiety, and get good sleep, that T and H will likely decrease. Is this true in anyones case? Any help here is amazing!

      @AnxiousJon, may know more about the fluttering. I think he has something similar to that.
