Does anyone else get ringing in their ears?
I do, but it could also be from blasting my music.

Well, blasting your music will definitely cause ringing in your ears. I've never had ringing in my ears from anxiety but it's possible. However, the ringing is probably from your music:)

I get ringing in my ear but it is not from music. Does anyone know what it could be?

I've had ringing, it's a symptom of anxiety.

I have had ringing in my ears ever since I started taking Zoloft 2 months ago. I switched to Paxil, but that didn't help.
I have read that the ringing in the ears is a side effect of both of these meds.
I don't listen to loud music, and the ringing is constant, doesn't matter if I am anxious or not.
Hope this helps !

sometimes it's a sign to me that a panic attack is coming. Then again it bothers me so much that maybe I get the ringing and it causes an attack? LOL I don't know. I had that symptom for years and years. Sometimes our t.v. makes the same weird sound and i have to ask my husband if it's me again or if it's the t.v. lol

I've had it too. It is a sign of anxiety. I also have a mild tramatic brain injury from a bad accident so that could be causing it also.

Ringing in your ears is usually a result of ear damage, in this case caused by playing music too loud. It can also happen from ears clogged with wax.

If your ears are permanently damaged you have a condition called tinnitus, which is a perpetual ringing of the ears. That is pretty irrititing so I suggest not doing it.

Seriously turn the music down.

I remember when I was younger and your ears was ringing it would mean that someone was talking about you or liked you.
