Christmas can be very stressful and can cause tinnitus to increase - hence we opened up our helplines during the festive period. But you do have to be careful that you don't set up a self-fulfilling prophecy by thinking that your tinnitus gets worse over Christmas - if you think that, you might just be checking it more, and hence noticing it more. Easily done, but it's a bad habit :)

Best wishes
