absolutely yes. tinnitus is a common symptom of anxiety and stress.
Mine started in my late 20s along with several other symptoms of anxiety and stress. It’s in one ear and has never completely gone away. Although the longer I have it the less I notice it. The brain tends to tune it out after a while. The only time I really hear it is when everything is quiet like in the evening. When I sleep, I use white noise. But if the TV is on, I don’t hear it. I just learn to live with it. there is no actual cure for it. at least not yet. Maybe one day there will be.
However, there are times when the sound is much lower than other times. hope yours goes away. Maybe it’s temporary. Take care.
