Stress tinnitus - what is it and how can it be treated?

Have you heard an annoying noise in your ears that doesn't seem to come from anywhere? Maybe a beeping, buzzing or humming sound that bothers you when you're trying to sleep, work or enjoy the silence? Then you may have suffered from tinnitus, a condition which means that you hear sounds in your ears that have no external source.

Tinnitus is a very common problem that can affect people of all ages. About 15 percent of the population has some form of tinnitus. For most people, the tinnitus is mild and goes away on its own or with simple measures. But for some, the tinnitus can be so loud and bothersome that it affects their quality of life and mental health.

There are many different causes of tinnitus, but one of the most common is stress. Stress is a natural reaction to situations that are perceived as threatening, demanding or challenging. Stress can be positive and help us perform better, but if the stress is too high or prolonged, it can lead to negative consequences for our health and well-being. One of these consequences can be tinnitus.
