    Stress and the Physical Effects on the Body and Brain

    This is an interesting video produced by National Geographic and Stanford University and Dr Sapolsky, about the effects of stress. Tinnitus isn't actually mentioned specifically, but the physical, chemical and cellular effects of the body and brain are. It is quite long, but I found it worth...

    Is it harder to habituate to very high pitched tinnitus?
