    Somatic Tinnitus Now Followed by Pulsatile Tinnitus?!

    I have been struggling with somatic tinnitus for two months now. MRI showed narrowing on one of the nerves on the right side from a previous rupture, but the sound is mostly on the left. Neck still bothers me, but otherwise no serious issues on MRI. CT of the ear area also came back completely...

    Somatic Tinnitus

    Tinnitus Due to Anxiety? Benzo Withdrawal? Modulates Up and Down — Maybe Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Tinnitus Due to Anxiety? Benzo Withdrawal? Modulates Up and Down — Maybe Pulsatile Tinnitus

    Hi there, I have generalized anxiety disorder, and. was dealing with a bad bout of anxiety for about a month (like, barely functional most days). I had come off of Lexapro months earlier (April) and sometime over the summer I noticed I could "hear the silence", just like listening to air, or a...
