Is tinnitus affected by emotions?

Yes, poor sleep quality and emotional instability can cause tinnitus. If you have tinnitus, you should pay attention to rest, go to bed early and get up early, and keep a happy mood. The tinnitus will naturally get better. This kind of tinnitus dominated by sleep or emotion can be relieved and cured.

Tinnitus occurs regardless of day or night. There is a buzzing sound or machine sound in the ears or brain, or the sound of cicadas in summer keeps ringing in the ears. side, causing great distress to patients. Some patients are depressed, frustrated, and in a bad mood because they keep hearing noises. Depression is collectively referred to as negative emotions. After patients with tinnitus have been suffering from tinnitus for a long time, they may not be able to tolerate the condition for a long time and may develop negative emotions.

I once met a young man, a patient in his 30s, who originally worked very well, but gradually developed tinnitus, and the tinnitus caused great trouble to him, even He quit his job to treat his tinnitus, which caused him a lot of trouble. This emotional reaction is called negative emotion. Negative emotions arise because long-term tinnitus affects the limbic system in the brain. The limbic system has the function of regulating emotions, forming an alternating axis. Tinnitus can cause negative emotions, and after negative emotions act on the limbic system, they aggravate the patient's tinnitus. So the conditions complement each other, the patient has both tinnitus and negative emotions, and the negative emotions aggravate the patient's tinnitus.
