Work stress
There is a significant relation of stress as a trigger of tinnitus. In stress-induced tinnitus patients, tinnitus can lead to a vicious cycle of further stress by compromising cognitive and professional abilities. In severe cases, tinnitus can start interfering with the quality of life, professionally, socially and mentally. Restlessness, sleep disturbance, and inability to focus on work which comes with tinnitus, can add to work stress, and make the professional life miserable for such patients. Patients can develop chronic fatigue, if symptoms are not managed in the initial stages.
In other cases, where workplace environment can trigger the ringing in the ears, can further make tinnitus worse.
