Or does it just calm you down if you get mega panic attacks?
Because I am deeply scared of any kind of mindaltering medication, but I have anxiety from past trauma and constant tinnitus/chronic illness and sometimes get so extremely tense and panicked that I have to take it just to relax.. But I don’t want to risk losing myself..
Btw.. I am not dependent on it nor do I find it addictive, I take it rarely
I’ve a mild amount of hearing loss in one ear and ever since the diagnosis I’ve been plagued by fear and abnormal anxiety about the rest of my hearing. It’s a been 2 or 3 years since I’ve known.
Not sure how long this has been going on but occasionally one ear left or right – the hearing will fade out suddenly and I’ll hear some ringing than my ears feel dull for a few minutes and slowly they come to. This is not new and it’s been happening for as long as I can remember.
Generally when it happens my nose feels a little stuff and maybe some allergies are involved… or I don’t know, maybe I drink caffeine.
I’m aware of Sudden Hearing Loss Syndrome but I understand that in most cases once it’s gone it’s gone or it’s a very real condition… not something that comes and goes always so I don’t think this is it. I don’t take any ototoxic drugs either.
Can it have anyting to do with sinuses or caffeine, maybe stress.. etc. Any help is great.
I also have a general fullness in my ears at times.
My hearing loss was also caused by loud music… headphones, I’m 99% sure.
So I’ve been so focused on staying away from loud noises and sounds except when I couldn’t help it.
I’ve seen both ENT’s and audiologists within a year and they didn’t identify anything serious, but will check again coming up.
No dizzyness… it’s about time for my audiologist appt. so I will, but appreciate the help from everyone.
…I’ve had ringing in my left ear for probably 5 or 6 years now. The more research you do on ears the more you realize nobody has a handle on how this stuff works… not to the point where things can be easily fixed. So it’s so important to keep care.
About 4 weeks ago my primary physician prescribed Zoloft to me to help with my anxiety and sleep problems that started occuring about 4 months ago, which I believe had started as a result of excessive stress. I had some really bad reactions to Zoloft (severe panic attacks and anxiety) and that’s when the hissing – ringing in my ears started happening. I stopped taking the Zoloft after only 3 days but the Tinnitus continued since then. I don’t ever notice it at work during the morning or afternoon. It’s when I get home that I notice it, especially if I am fatigued or stressed out. Could the Zoloft reaction have triggered this Tinnitus and will it stop? I went to an ear, nose & throat specialist the other day, who checked my hearing and said I tested fine. He said the ringing noise is common among people with anxiety and that the anxiety must be treated with medication, preferably antidepressants, and that I needed to find one that I can live with, and it might be gone in 2 months.True?

Hi folks, i have been recently diagnosed with Tinnitus, my question is, what are the normal symptoms for this (apart from the ringing – lol), It is normally worse when i get up in the morning. Also i get headaches that seem to be sometimes in the top of my head, other times at the front, can thinking about tinnitus give you the headache in the first place, as this thing drives me crazy i suppose the anxiety or depression it causes can cause otherproblemss as well as the headaches.
Hi guys I’m hoping someone may be able to help me. I am an 18 year old female & for the past 2 months or so I have been very light headed. It’s not vertigo but it feels as though I could pass out. Along with this,I feel tired all the time sometimes I feel like I’m in a dream and I’m always with brain fog where I just don’t feel right. I seem to not be able to concentrate as well as I used to. I also have pulsatile tinnitus(doctors don’t seem to worry about it too much) I’ve had MRI’s of my brain also MRA because I thought I wasn’t getting enough blood flow to my head, I’ve had CT scans, Carotid Ultrasound, and blood tests.
What could possibly be wrong with me? I went to a neurologist, cardiologist, and an ENT. They all think it might be anxiety.
Right now I am going to another ENT who THINKS it might be BBPV…it’s just a suggestion, he doesn’t sound too sure though. He says not to worry about the pulsatile tinnitus…but the thing is that 2 days after first getting the pulsatile tinnitus I started getting the dizzy spells.
Could this all just be anxiety????
But could the anxiety cause 24/7 ANXIETY?
I meant 24/7 LIGHTHEADEDNESS*****
sorry about the typo.
I have been struggling with weight and depression issues for a while, and I just found out that I have an anatomical sinus problem. It’s also hard for me to sleep, and I have anxiety and irregular periods.

I’m starting to suspect inner ear problems since I have suffered many sinus infections and such. I was thinking maybe labyrinthis(sp?) since I have all the symptoms. How do I get diagnosed with it? I am currently going to an ENT, should I go to a neurotologist instead because this ENT doesn’t seem to know too much about it.
For the past year I’ve developed the following symptoms: Tinnitus (every other day) ear aches especially when tinnitus is strong, sinus drainage, post nasal drip and a bitter metallic taste in my throat as well as bad anxiety, and muslce cramps across my chest and upper back, Also GERD. Does anybody know what I might have? Are these symptoms related?
I let go of bad tinnitus after 20 years and no longer suffer from symptoms. Having learnt how to do this myself, I have helped hundreds of people let go of their own. This video shares important advice on how to let go of tinnitus and where you can find out more: www.cst.eu.com
