Does Low-Pitched Tinnitus Always Mean Myoclonus?

[Audiophile_bg]

I have seen a lot of threads here mention Myoclonus as soon as someone reveals they have a low pitched sound. Can't regular tinnitus be low pitched too?

Yes, it can.

I guess my question would be, is there any conclusive way to diagnose or exclude TTTS if you have/had low pitched tinnitus. Basically, I know that surgeries are not always helpful, and I don't want to be stuck with that diagnosis...

Apparently low pitch tinnitus isn't used as a symptom to diagnose TTTS. See https://www.everydayhearing.com/tonic-tensor-tympani-syndrome/

They do list "clicking" though.

Thank you @GregCA . I also know about the clicking feature of this tinnitus. But posts here almost always linked it to low rumbling, so i wanted to inquire.

I'm sorry for posting this, but the thought of this nightmare returning again is killing me. I took Dramamine today, because my anxiety was causing me to dry heave, and my throat started to hurt. What happened next is - it made me almost faint, i think dramamine has sedative properties. As a result, I can feel the low rumbling again. And this is how I originally got my Tinnitus - I was taking olanzapine and fainted, when i came to the tinnitus was there.... I just can't imagine relapsing like this....
What low key frightens me is that I actually have Myoclonus, since I suspect the olanzapine gave me dyskinesia. I don't even know how i would deal with this. But for now the diagnosis is subjective tinnitus, because of ETD.

PS: keep in mind, I'm overlooking olanzapine ACTUALLY being implicated in ototoxicity, which it has.

Thank you for your support here.
