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 be a sign of impaired hearing. I think that I would ask for a hearing test, if you have any doubts about your hearing. Did the doctor look in your ears for obvious problems such as wax build up? It can also be a sign of high blood pressure, which doctors often put down to anxiety and it can occur before fainting.

    I had high blood pressure for many years, caused by stress and lifestyle failing on my part.
