Complications

By Mayo Clinic staff

Tinnitus can significantly affect quality of life. It affects people differently, but may be linked to:

  • Fatigue
  • Stress
  • Sleep problems
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Memory problems
  • Depression
  • Anxiety and irritability

Treating these linked conditions may not affect tinnitus directly, but it can help you feel better.
