In my youth I have lived in a highly dysfunctional family, my father beat me when I was a in first grade (later he stopped) but my parents fought all the time. This was the time when I have experienced something I cannot identify to this day. It came on sudden and it was as if there was a buzz in my ear and time got speeded up. It was a little similar when a movie projector malfunctions and starts sliding the film and the pictures got faster but unclear. It was somewhat unpleasant and quite scary at first, then after a 5-10 minutes it went away. I was reading about anxiety or panic attacks but it seems that this was not one of those. Anyone else had something similar to this? It had stopped for a long time but I am curious what it could have been.

Tinnitus? Dunno. Not certain if it's something that can be tested. I know neurology has an Auditory Evoked Potential test they can order, just not certain what it's meant to diagnose? Worth speaking with your primary, maybe?

Hi, I'm not sure I can help you because I have never been through all that buzzing and movie projector thing! But my dad use to beat me too! He started when I was about 6, and stopped when I moved to Miami (less than 2 years ago)! I have anxiety problems, and I have panic attack all the time, and I never felt any of those things! But lately I had some hallucinations, I have been seeing people that aren't there, and I had some weir dreams, that I don't know how to wake up from them! Sometimes I don't even know If I am dreaming or if I am awake! And my therapist keep telling me that this can all be because of my anxiety! So I guess what you are having can be the "same" thing! You should try talk to a therapist! They might help you with that!
I hope that was somehow helpful!
Ps. I'm sorry for my english! I'm not from here.

I actually have this but it gets worse when I have psychosis. I have it all the time and have had it for years and I have had my ears checked and I'm still young and don't listen to anything loud.

I've had terrible tinnitus since 2013 when I was forced off benzos.

Thanks, I do not think it is an auditory (tinnitus) only when it occurs there were some auditory aspects. I think it was some mental maladies manifesting. I have not had it since. I moved away from home at age 22. It only happened while I was living at home. I told my mother and she took me to some therapist and I even took some meds (for anxiety or nervousness)
