Tinnitus, Powerlessness, and PTSD: Framing Tinnitus as an Acute Stress Disorder
If you ask a hundred tinnitus sufferers to explain how the ringing in their ears affects their quality of life, you will get a hundred different answers, but you could easily conclude that the root of the problem – emotionally speaking – is anxiety.

Tinnitus and Suicide: Shining Light into the Darkness
From day one, my message has always been: “If you suffer from tinnitus, there’s hope.” It was never meant to be a platitude. I truly believe it with every fiber of my being.
