I got 36

I scored a 59. I definitely feel there's a correlation between my anxiety and T. I do not think I used to be this anxious before T though. It's a chicken or egg thing I suppose. I do find if I have a few beers I can forget about my T for an hour or so. Too bad I can't live life drunk and pilled up! Sure would like to at times. Does the noise in my head bother you?

I got 43...though I must say though some of my stress is tinnitus related, I am also in menopause and that is common so I dont hold my answers a true indication of how I normally am.

59

I was diagnosed with GAD by a doctor. I have had anxiety for years and have had tinnitus for years.

oh and I got 71

and I got a 63 on this one.

65.......grrrr. just tired of the noise......................

I scored 59 also. Seem's to be a popular score. I'm 99.9 % certain that anxiety and depression brought on my tinnitus. I was going through a 6 month period where I was having bad headaches that would change location every couple of days. Went to 3 doctors and no results. Finally a doctor said I might have sinus infection and was given medication for it.

As soon as the headaches improved my tinnitus hit. My very first thought was gee thanks God how dare I have a day without pain and now I get this ear ringing. Been ringing ever since. At least the headaches went away. What a deal.

I also got a 59... it's either a bug in their program or we'll all equally nuts... maybe we've discovered a cause for tinnitus - getting 59 on that test! :)

My T is louder the more stressed our I am, but isn't that normal being stress causes us to become hyper-vigilant / hyper-aware. I swear to god I had tinnitus for a long time slightly lower for hours at a time and never actually became aware of it 100% on a conscious level. The trigger for me noticing it was being highly stressed for a long period, so maybe i just 'brought it forward'?

I still have a hard time accepting it 'has a mind of it's own' and that it's not me who makes it louder by having my thoughts triggered in the direction of 'listening' to it.

In fact - I kid you all not - every time I come to this forum and post my T gets louder for the rest of the day.

66

76... T has turned me into a useless worthless basket case...

71

Before I had T - 29
Now that I have T - 52

I knew that I would score high on the test(85). And I know that I have an anxiety disorder and should seek immediate medical attention. I also know that I have Severe Anxiety and Depression Disorder(SADD). I didnt realize I had anxieties until I 30something and circling the entrance to the S.F. Bay Bridge on a late stormy night. Ill just say I got lost on the way to the conference. But fate stepped in and the next thing I knew I was heading for the toll booths. Maybe I'll be able to turn around I said to myself. I cant see the other side of the bridge, it goes straight into darkness. The toll booth operator laughed as I pulled my small Ford Courier to the gate. I had to go I told myself I have to find the courage. I paid the toll and the gate rose in front of me and I pushed on my gas pedal and slowly churned forward. I began the slow ascent into the dark, climbing higher and higher. My knuckles began to change from their beautiful tan color to an off white as I tried to remain calm and think positive thoughts. Just then a large tanker truck came upside of me and started spraying tons of water over my windshield. I could no longer see. My eyes began to water which added to the mess and I couldnt see anything now. I slowed my truck even further to allow the evil metal beast to pass. When the truck began to gain distance and the flood of water began to pass I realized I was on the otherside, I had made it. I had done it. Just then my truck started to sputter out. Think quick and pull over. I just made it to a curb. Sure I can just sit here and have a smoke. Let the truck rest. So I pull out a cig, lite it up and the next thing I see is a guy run in front of my truck with a baseball bat. He quickly darted out of view. Then another guy, but he was carrying what looked like a metal pole, then another, and another I caught runnin past thru the corner of my mirror. I slowly kinda just crumpled up on my floor board and smoked my cigarette. When I finished the cigarette I kinda just sat up and started my truck(thankfully it did start) and drove away in one synchroness motion. I never liked ChinaTown, especially when I was young and lived across the bay from it..
Gotta remember to call that counselor after Xmas and setup an appt.
