Constant Tinnitus

Posted by mwendt54 @mwendt54, Apr 30 2:10pm

Has anyone had high pitch constant tinnitus after a car accident where the side airbags deployed? It sounds like millions of crickets in my head and is driving me insane. Anything that has helped you with this. My car accident was in the beginning of February this year. Thanks in advance for any of your suggestions or advice.

Thanks for your reply. I already take Xanax as I have for years for anxiety and did a trial of clonazepam which didn’t help as well with my anxiety. I do have a CBT therapist so I will bring the tinnitus up to her. Since it is really in your brain after seeing an audiologist, and had a head CT which was negative, I will be looking into some other strategies that the audiologist recommended. I’m foregoing the ENT since there’s nothing wrong with the structure of my ears. Good luck to you though.
