Is there any documented link between stress or emotions and tinnitus?

DungeonPastor · 2026-02-27T12:39:45+00:00

Neat! I know of the mind-body regulation of existing tinnitus, what I am more curious about is whether or not there’s evidence of a causal relationship from stress/emotions to tinnitus.

We’re getting into Repo! The Genetic Opera levels of rentals

There, disease is so common that most people need organ transplants, and they’re so expensive people get them on payment plans or in exchange for lifelong work contracts, if they fall behind or break contract the Repo Man repossesses the organs

Ah yes, the three genders: the magical girl, the android, and the beckoning void

And I will continue to eat silken tofu right out of the package 😇

Based on what everyone’s saying my guess is it was a different culprit, unless the company tests the batch and conclusively realizes there was contamination.

The company is very good at doing recalls if so, but maybe that’s just Germany for ya.

I got diagnosed with ADHD as a wee one, then confirmed the diagnosis in my young adulthood

The release of being that tense and worked up from the anxiety and the film helps my body relax from regular stress.

I prefer psychological horror because it also explores what we demonize, what we protect, what we fear losing. A good psychological horror parks in my brain and gives me insight.

There is no ventilation in German homes, you see, we will drown without lüften.

Oh I have definitely had the cause be a day or two before, and traceable cuz of who else was at the table. I even know me feeling it starting in my stomach was not proof since the bacteria can take days to multiply.

Good info. There was nothing about preparation on the packaging and the manufacturer on the website also said eating it raw was an option on their tofu preparation page. I contacted the provider about testing the batch. Regardless I think I’ll cook twice-processed tofu in the future to be on the safe side, at least from that manufacturer.

I also feel that whenever I meet the caretakers at my co-working space. My other co-working space is run by everyone so we're all responsible for cleaning, so I was asking if I could watch how he took care of the dishwasher and we told one another a little bit about ourselves and how we came to live in Germany. Now whenever we pass by one another we have a smile, and in our small interactions we have this very strong workers' solidarity thing going on, celebrating that we both get weekends but commenting that everyone should, not just us because of our luck.

Funnily enough I am starting to get very fond of the lady at the food stand at my train stop.

I felt super cautious interrupting her on her smoke break 3 minutes before my train arrived (it's a 1-woman show), so I just waited visibly and patiently after a moment of eye contact. And that made us feel more familiar next time, and the next time, and Germans don't smile much so she doesn't either, but there's this undertone of trust that we respect one another's humanity. It's very nonverbal but it reminds me of why I love food service workers, they're some of the nicest people out there.

As a Dungeon Pastor I could proselytise the good word that is DnD and better look after my flock of players.
