I looked at their website before. I don't think so personally and I had anxiety symptoms causing physical problems in the past. They may be preying on desperation. I see their founder said he got tinnitus from stress/anxiety. As much as I would like to believe it's anxiety caused, TMJD and/or cervical problems seems more likely and of course noise exposure. I was tempted to contact them though. When almost all their therapists are booked up it could be a red flag.

@just1morething Thank you for your input. I do believe that anxiety can cause all kinds of symptoms in your body.
I also agree that TMJD and/or cervical problems seems more likely to cause this sound. I just don't think this hum/drone noise comes because of noise exposure.

I had a low drone in my head and it stopped when put on Nortriptyline.
Love glynis

I have a crunchy left jaw and TMJD they say but not sure splint with bands helps? Maybe it takes time, a long, long time. I want the noise gone now though. Moves from left ear to right ear sometimes. Could be from jaw alignment problems. Very loud in left ear atm.

@just1morething Do you have hum/ drone t. because of TMJD??

@just1morething Do you have hum/ drone t. because of TMJD??

Right now very loud high pitched noise in head/left ear. It could be upper cervical/brain stem. I'm not sure but very bad. I had it very bad last night too.

@OnceUponaTime, I don't know where it's coming from? I will update if I find out more. I feel for you in your torment. Maybe TMJD, I don't know?

With stress and anxiety ANYTHING is possible. It really is. But how to differentiate it from actual physiological conditions is another thing.

Maybe arthritis can cause buzzing from the inflammation? In that case anti-inflammatory pills like Ibuprofen or Turmeric could help.

I had a good dream recently that was in my pre-tinnitus days. My noise was much less that morning so anxiety/stress/trauma could affect us no doubt. How to change that is another matter.
