Hi Shadgirl.

You sound like you are dealing with a high level of anxiety, which is the cause for your tinnitus seeming to get worse. If you focus on it constantly and expect it to get louder then you will create more and more anxiety and that will make you worse.

Are you treating the anxiety in any way?
Shadgirl
No. Because every time I take any medicine for anything at all it spikes my ears so loud it isn't even funny. And I don't know why its doing that ether...
Shadgirl
I woke up today and now its even louder! And I went to bed fairly calm about all this!
Steve
You can treat anxiety with more than medication. Have you tried out relaxation exercises, meditation, listening to relaxed music or anything like that?

You really need to treat the anxiety reaction first, learn to manage that and then move on to the tinnitus.
Shadgirl
No I havent. But I did get an appoitment with some speshelests in tinnitus treatment and management. And I took some clriten just in case a former isue I had was the cause and its quieter now...My other ear started rinning louder because of it though, but thats still nothing compared to what it was. The clinic however was the most help to me today though.
Steve
That's good to hear. So important to get an appointment with the right people who actually understand what is going on with you.

I hope that they have some things for you to try or are looking at other ways to help.
