Hi all.

Over a week ago i detected a faint pulse in my left ear. That created some anxiety and insomnia. The pulse is very faint and i can easily mask it with white noise, which I do, but I somehow learned to zone into to similar pulsing sounds all throughout my day to day experiences that are generated by external sources. For example, the shower, the HVAC, the refrigerator in the cafeteria. In all of these locations I can detect audible pulses of similar tone and beat that are clearly coming from external sources (not my head) but they seriously annoy me. It is very difficult to get away from all of these external sources and they cause significant anxiety.


How can avoid zoning into external sources of these pulses? I think my fear of something in my head has morphed into a general fear of that sound all throughout environmental stimuli.
