One major trigger for tinnitus is stress. At this time during a global pandemic and major civil unrest, stress levels are at an all-time high for many people across the nation. In addition, it is all too easy to become caught in a stress-tinnitus loop, where stress causes tinnitus, tinnitus causes further stress, and so on. Below are some stress-management techniques that may help alleviate tinnitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning is a useful tool for managing stress and anxiety. Even if there seems to be nothing you can do in the present moment, feeling prepared for the worst-case scenario helps many people feel better. Here is a four-step framework for planning for the unknown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. List what could go wrong<\/strong>. Write down every potential problem that is causing you anxiety or stress. Include the worst-case scenario in order to alleviate feelings of uncertainty and give specificity to your fears.<\/li>
  2. Identify how to prevent the problems<\/strong>. Try to come up with at least one thing you can do to help prevent each of the problems you have listed.<\/li>
  3. Develop a list of supplies<\/strong>. If you need any supplies to prevent or deal with a problem, have them listed out. For some people, just making a list brings a sense of peace, but others may prefer to actually go out and gather the supplies just in case.<\/li>
  4. Make a plan of action<\/strong>. For each problem, come up with a specific plan detailing what you will do if it comes to fruition. Consider how you will get to safety or recover afterward.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Prioritize Healthy Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you don\u2019t take care of your body and mind, you are more likely to feel anxiety and will likely have a more difficult time managing it. During times of stress, be sure to\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Take care of your body & mind<\/strong>. Make sure you are eating healthy meals, getting plenty of rest and exercising regularly.<\/li>
    • Double down on self-care. <\/strong>Take the time to do things that make you happy and relaxed, whether that\u2019s taking a long bath, meditating, drawing, playing music or writing.<\/li>
    • Help others.<\/strong> Going out of your way to help others is a good way to improve your outlook on your own situation and feel useful.<\/li>
    • Achieve little victories.<\/strong> If you feel overwhelmed, find the easiest thing on your to-do list and get it done. Accomplishing small things can feel more victorious than spending a lot of time on an overwhelming task.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
