Hi my lovely group ... I've been having bad anxiety lately and with all that fight or flight and adrenaline that's been pumping on it feels like my hearing on both ears has been impacted trough both ears... can someone please tell me I'm not the only one with this I'm scared, need some reassurance
Interesting you say that about the hearing. I also have had major anxiety accompanied by insomnia abs today while I was sitting quietly eating dinner my hearing felt almost blocked. The feeling passed. Please know that you are not alone. Hang in there!
Thanks for your reply mart ann.. yes clogged is the perfect way to put it , my hearing is still clogged I went to my GP and I have no earwax build up on either ear ... must all be from the anxiety/panic attack symptoms
Does popping your ear help at all?
Slightly ... but not like before, my severe anxiety this past month has affected it that much
I have been going through this ear thing as well. Even though my anxiety symptoms are basically non existent, I still have a pressure in my head and ears and some ringing. I have tried to find a cause and even had a brain mri and there is still no explanation. I wish I knew a way of relieving it..
Perhaps it's just due to regular anxiety. I know this is a symptom that can occur. Which is why anxiety can cause you to get dizzy
I get a clogged feeling in my ears a lot and was told it's because of anxiety.. no idea how anxiety can cause that but the mind causes the body to do crazy things I guess! Sometimes my ears feel weird when I yawn too like an extra popping feeling I don't even know it's strange!
Yep mine do a popping sound when j swallow and or yawn weird stuff and I don't like the clogged ear sensation at all
Same here hopefully it all fixes itself on its own because I've found no answers as well... maybe all this is due to the strong flu this season that's still going around but WHO knows
You feel the ear clogging thing as well which makes it feel like we aren't able to hear correctly??
Yes mine too!! It freaks me out a bit. I definitely am not a fan of it either! It is super annoying plus I have anxiety so half the time I convince myself I've gone deaf, ha
Damn same here weird how I never knew this can maybe be an anxiety related thing ... it's weird because I can hear better inside my home or inside somewhere(buildings) but outside is where I notice it more ... and that defness thought gives me anxiety lol no bueno
Ha, sorry! We definitely aren't going deaf though! (I've already forced my doctor to do hearing tests haha she thinks I've gone mad) There are soo many physical symptoms of anxiety I never knew about.. I found this really good website that lists hundreds of them and literally anything I've ever felt is on there. It helps reassure me nothing is seriously wrong with me and I am just super anxious. Would provide you with the link but a moderator might block it out. :P it is super helpful
Yes i feel like I can barely hear sometimes!
Yeah sucks I'm always like that sometimes more than others
I PM'd you ..send it trough there if you'd like
