Thanks to all who responded. Yes, I do have anxiety issues. It's worsened since this tinnitus has increased. I will be honest and this is probably true with most of us here, I think we worry ourselves into higher levels of anxiety worrying about if this stuff is going to get worse or finally get disabling. I know I do. To answer DebinAustralia, I do have a lot of pressure in my ears and am lightheaded quite a bit. It does throw my balance off some. Rich
