Tinnitus Forum - Mytinnitus

After a series of panic attacks, I develop pulsatile tinnitus, hearing loud thumbs of heartbeat-pulse in one ear.  It started out almost indiscernable, then build into a crescendo the next week.  Hearing the incessant loud thumps in my ear for over a week caused me to spiral into a state of anxiety-depression.  Towards the end of 3 weeks, however, the loud thumps suddenly drop in tone level.  A miracle the thumps could come down in level considering the anxiety remain so heightened I have difficulty breathing. The whoshing sounds when I turn my head is still evident though. Doctors told me it is due to anxiety since the ears checked out alright.  I was advised to postpone the CT Angiography for a while.

However, when the pulsation died down in duration and sound level, I hear a eeeee high-pitch in the top middle of my head. To be sure it was not actual frequency emissions, I walked into a sound-proof room.  Indeed, I seem to have also develop the regular form of tinnitus!

The steady high-pitch sound has persisted for a week now. 

With the pulsatile tinnitus, sometimes, an adjustment of the head or body movement changes its tone or quieten it down for a while.  Pressing the vein on the side of the neck underneath the pulsating ear also halt the sound.

Whereas this high-pitch sound (sometimes cricket-like) appears even more persistant than the pulsatile tinnitus.  Perhaps I get this impression because the sound invariably is there without a pause.  Is there cause for concern, that the pitch goes on consistently despite head or body movements?

I was told by audiologist that in many experiences, this 'regular' kind of tinnitus dies down on its own within 2 months.  Usually after 2 months, it has potential to be a permanent condition.

It's been one scare after another!

So now I have remnants of pulsatile tinnitus and a new pitch of regular tinnitus to add on.

Any sharing of experience & advice would be appreciated.
