I was diagnosed with tinnitus in 2012 and, until lately, it has been manageable. Within the last couple of weeks something has triggered the high pitch ringing in my ears to increase to a volume that interferes with my sleep. I am even going so far as to attest that the noise is waking me from my sleep. My hope is that its really the anxiety and stress caused by trying to relegate noise. Since there is no cure, I am trying to find any research that will help lessen the induction of stress when trying to sleep. Even a slight reduction in volume would be welcome.
