- noise-induced
It's very true I am worrying constantly. Getting my ears syringed seems to have removed a lot of the stuffy feeling so that probably wasn't noise-induced which is a relief but I feel sickened when I remember that I initially got tinnitus like 5 years ago and continued to abuse my ears...granted the T has not worsened but it's damage upon damage isn't it really. I'm not going to lie I have not left bed, neglecting eating, really feeling horrific as a result of my fears and I can't even say they are irrational....because what if they come true given all the articles I have read it seems to be an inevitability. I don't know if that's my anxiety talking but I am having panic attacks every night and quite honesty feeling suicidal. I think I need some sort of help one side of my brain is telling me it's my anxiety and depression blowing it all out of proportion, the other is screaming at me that no I am an idiot and am paying. sorry man just really really low. I can't even do things like watch films or tv because I clench up with anxiety and get scared that I will suddenly have bad hearing
