Ringing in ears

belles12345

I have had ringing in my ears for some time now and went to see the doctor, who said it is tinnitus caused by anxiety.  As I am in the process of being assessed for an ASC I didn't mention this to her, as I don't yet have any result.  As I also experience other sensory difficulties I feel it could be linked to being oversensitive.  The doctor wants to treat me for anxiety.  Does anyone have any experience of tinnitus as part of sensory issues or anxiety?  Are the 2 part of the same equation?

Thank you in advance.

  • Tinnitus can have lots of causes, and gives many people much distress. It can wear off in a short time, others have it for years. Check the NHS health information on line.

    I'm inclined to put "The doctor wants to treat me for anxiety" in front of the doctor "who said it is tinnitus caused by anxiety". The doctor clearly has a thing about anxiety. Have they got a job lot of anxiety pills to get rid of?

    If you are being assessed for ASC you need to get corresponding medical advice on any medication. So it is important to mention the ASC possibility.
