Tinnitus and anxiety are deeply connected, and many people experience an increase in tinnitus distress when they are feeling anxious or stressed. But why does this happen, and what can you do about it? In this episode, we explore the science behind tinnitus and anxiety, explaining how the brain processes both and why they often feed into each other.
Topics covered in this episode:
• Why anxiety can make tinnitus feel louder and more intrusive
• The role of the fight-or-flight response in tinnitus perception
• How stress and emotional responses can reinforce the tinnitus cycle
• Practical techniques to manage anxiety and reduce tinnitus-related distress
• How mindfulness, sound therapy, and cognitive behavioral techniques can help
Many people feel trapped in a cycle where stress makes tinnitus worse, and worsening tinnitus increases stress. The good news is that this cycle can be broken. By understanding how anxiety affects tinnitus and applying effective strategies, you can train your brain to deprioritize the sound and regain a sense of control.
