I'm really sorry you guys are both dealing with tinnitus and other sound related problems. That must be really tough. I can well imagine how tinnitus would make anxiety levels spike and, as you say, ss, could even be causing the anxiety in the first place. It's such a chicken and egg situation regarding which comes first, the anxiety or the physical symptoms. Very often I do think that our anxiety is caused BY certain physical symptoms/conditions. Then again, if we are naturally anxious, this may make us more susceptible to these physical conditions and so it becomes a vicious cycle. (I don't know if this refers to tinnitus, I'm thinking more about chronic pain conditons).

I'm with you about needing to block out commercials on TV, ss. I don't watch much TV at all and the commercials are one reason why.

On a more positive note, I am almost done with my data re-build and the books are balancing again!!!! I am soooooooooooooo relieved!!!!! I was literally tearing my hair out!!!!! I've been sleeping badly these last few nights but I'm hoping that now it's pretty much sewn up I will have a better night tonight!!

Wishing everyone a beautiful day!
