Well I've had T for 4 months now from a loud concert. I have been doing pretty good for the last 2 months. I guess I habituated. Today after a really stressful day and overall year I suddenly got this really loud ring in my left ear. It only lasted for a few seconds but it scared the hell out of me. I immediately got that "sinking feeling in my chest". When I first got T I had this feeling in my chest for almost a month non stop. I have been trying to take care of my ears since I got T. The one thing I neglected was not realizing that stress could cause T also. So far I'm lucky that the ring in the left ear didn't stay. This post is just a reminder to me and the rest of you that we need to take care of our ears AND also take care of our emotions. Good luck to all
