Hi,
I have 3 qs re tinnitus. My tinnitus (high-pitched - only when I listen out for it) started back in May this year due to a very severe stressful period.
I am aware that answers to these qs may be elusive. I am also aware that I am seeking reassurance. Perhaps a few other members of this forum are in the same boat (which feels like it is sinking!) as me...
1. Does hyperacusis often come along following tinnitus?
2. Do anti-anxiety and -depression medicines surpress tinnitus? (so when one comes off them, the tinnitus will be louder and more intrusive).
3. Does masking (i.e. listening to a radio) delay habituation?
Many thanks
Richard
