Hi Guys,
I'm relatively new to the forum and to tinnitus, although I had bouts of tinnitus on and off for as long as I can remember it was always fleeting and usually gone within a short period of time.
However as of 2 months ago I was struck by persistent tinnitus, high pitched (6khz) starting in my left ear and levelled out in my right ear as well. Had everything checked by ENT, did an MRI, nothing was found.
I have been diagnosed with having a burnout however and am having a lot of anxiety over my tinnitus.
Currently using Temazepam for sleep and Xanax for during the day but the Xanax makes me feel like a zombie which is not really doing much for my already increasing feeling of depression, Temazepam is great though, even makes me stop obsessing over the T and in turn makes the perception less loud.
As I was puddling along these last weeks since 2 or 3 days I started to notice a new sound in my left ear/on my left side. The sound is very faint and sounds like a plane flying way in the distance or even a bit similar to some air circulation system running in the distance. The sound is constant and not pulsatile. I must mention that I recently had a cold which I got from my beautiful 15 month old son, perhaps this is the cause?
Just as I was kind of coming to terms with my high pitched ring this really threw me off and pushed me back quite a bit as I am now obsessing over this sound and am back to fight or flight mode, really unpleasant ...
Luckily the Temazepam helps me to cool my nerves somewhat and helps me with sleep.
Does anyone have experience with something similar like this?
Warm regards,
Chris
