I got out of the bath the other night and then all of a sudden i started to get a ringing noise in my ear. it wasn’t so bad but now it seems worse. And i was wondering if anxiety can cause it.
Also if it is anxiety causing it, once the anxiety is gone then will the tinnitus too?

Why does it Make Me Feel So Bad?
Most people with tinnitus are not bothered by it. But for the 20 percent that are, it can be significantly disruptive to one’s work and family life. Because tinnitus can stimulate the centers of the brain responsible for emotion, some patients experience significant anxiety, depression, irritability and other strong emotional responses.
I copied this from the following website:

I believe you can do a google search under "Fluttering Tinnitus."
Good luck! And I hope you feel better soon.
