Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Yes, because its linked to limbic system of our body (fight or flight/rest and digest reaction). The more stressed you are, the louder tinnitus usually is. When you calm down and become happier, you body will finally go to rest and digest mode and when T is perceived as harmless it will be softer

I call bs. I'm always getting hit by the most brutal spikes, biggest fleeting tones and spasms/MEM episodes when I am happy and calm (doing cool stuff for me like my art), having almost habituated. And of course discrupting my habituation. No connection of T with emotional state, ears/brain are pieces of meat anyway.

I had two things going on when my T hit... stress and medication to help with stress... which was it?! I feel like it was the meds... but I will never know. Ultimately stress led me to medication and medication ended with T?! Now of course I am stressed because of T!

@Tryn2BHopeful That is just too much. :-( What was the medication you were on?
