Am I losing my mind?

[Pan9]

Is it possible that constant ringing in ears is an anxiety symptom? Or am I hallucinating? I can't switch off from it and am suffering relentless panic attacks. Please help x

Can be anxiety. Can also be tinnitus - which is annoying but harmless. Have you been to your GP to get your ears looked at? Ringing in the ears can be caused by any number of easily treatable things.

Also, ringing in the ears is one of those things that the more you fixate on it the worse it seems to get. So a distraction may help.

Thank you for the reply. I just feel like I can't switch off from it. I've been to the doctors and she basically explained to me that having ringing in my ears after a concert last week, was normal, but it's triggered an anxiety response and now I'm listening for it which means that I'm misinterpreting things. But I can hear it. It's really having a huge psychological impact on me. I'm really not doing good at all x
