Sorry to heat you struggle @Thomas_83.
Electrical noise in your head is as much tinnitus as anything else imo... but the electric and humming head tinnitus might be related to anxiety issues - as you mentioned.
My personal experience with this, and I've had it for a long time, is that when I manage to calm down, let go and get proper sleep, the centralized tinnitus minimizes. The bad days get far in between, and you can appreciate life again.
You seem to be in a vicious circle right now. And that can be really hard to sort out/find your way out of on your own.
Have you considered getting some help from a therapist/counsellor that know more about the mechanisms of tinnitus?
If (?) you have sleep issues, you should also get that sorted.
Hang in there man. There is certainly hope, and you will get better. Chances of tinnitus to resolve/disappear completely however, when having it around for a longer time, or second/third time trauma, and it becoming a chronic issue, are close to none.
BUT the good news is, that doesn't mean you can't live a happy, normal life with time. Habituation takes times, and tinnitus will become less noticeable when the brain has rewired and adjusted - once you will be capable of allowing that to happen.
Acceptance and getting out this constant fight and flight response is key. That is the first step imo.
It is a slow process, and it takes time... time is a healer. You will get there - but it is always easier with some help that can follow you up in person. So it is good you at least get some assistance from a psychologist at this point.
Especially when you seem to have reached a point where you are having seriously destructive thought patterns.
