Did I get tinnitus by shoving chewing gum into my ears?

I just checked the noise level of a MRI machine and it apparently goes up to 130dB. That's really high! But I think if the doctor gave you approved hearing protection, it should reduce the exposure level to a safe limit.

I have checked the Tinnitus Talks forum. It seems like concerts are a major cause of people getting tinnitus. And a big majority of the users have anxiety issues too. Seems to be a lot of tie-in between anxiety disorders and tinnitus.

@coffeeandtv I think tinnitus causes anxiety. I am not in agreement that it happens the other way around. It may be that more anxious people have trouble accommodating tinnitus so they post more. But anxiety didn't cause it in the first place.
