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.

    I've become aware of this over the last year or so. I've read that it is stress related but I notice it when I'm not feeling stressed.

    I notice it at different times, in the evening after meals whilst watching TV, during the day at various times. I don't think that there is any evidence that it progresses to hearing loss but it is a distraction. I haven't read about any treatments apart from distracting yourself by listening to something that is interesting and loud enough to drown it out.
