Interesting thought - Is Anxiety and Stress a possible precursor to T? As our brain undergoes whatever changes that ultimately causes T, do we experience it as a result? There seems to be a link, but I wonder which is the result of the other.

Possibly. Although I had my generalized anxiety and depression nearly completely under control before tinnitus onset. Ever since few of those methods work anymore.

I think so. Excitoxicity
A very stressful week + louder noise exposure to music over a 2 hour period has left me with bad TTTS vibration in right ear/head. It's the worst in silence, especially when going to bed & waking up. Temporarily cuts out when I talk or hear external sound. It's only been 7 days since onset, but I'm already frustrated & anxious about it. Praying it goes away.

Stress management, shifting focus, walks in nature if you can + magnesium glycinate and possibly bioflavonoids. It will pass, stay positive about that - but it might stick around for many months.

Thanks for the feedback as always @MindOverMatter .. To reframe it in my mind, I think of it like an eye twitch. I've gotten many of those over the years, haven't had one in a while but the worst being during stressful, run down times. Some cleared in a couple weeks, others a couple months. That helps my anxiety over it and to know it will fade, just like an annoying eye twitch.

Thats actually a good way of reframing it @ErikaS Don't give it to much space. One day at a time. You will get there 🙏
Went to the gym. Of course someone is crashing every cable-based machine imaginable. Can only dream of a home gym. :banghead: Feeling super anxious.
How to help medicine research company raising money to advance in clinic trial for tinnitus treatment
If they were still looking for further study subjects I would make the 800km trip to participate. I am frustrated at the responses from health professionals about my tinnitus. They dont get it. It would be good to have an objective measurement.
