extreme tinnitus on left ear all day. please help

man i can't believe this, 3 years of bliss and back in hell i am. just 2 months ago, i got a severe panic attack at night, with body shivers and bad shaking. from then and onward is been a bad ride. i always noted that on my left ear i had some kind of tinnitus, not really bad or anything, but after that attack it just gets worse. yesterday i couldn't sleep because of it, it's driving me insane. the typical signs of an anxiety disorder are back and worse than ever. dazed and confused, derealization, fear of going insane, VERY LOUD tinnitus on my left ear, lack of sleep, depression, intrussive thoughts, the whole pack!  i went to an otorhino for the tinnitus, the Doc prescribed me Sermion (nicergoline) but it did not work, so the culprit for my tinnitus is anxiety (hopefully)
at this moment i felt the need to write this down because i can't find a way to calm myself, it's really overwhelming and my brain is racing. i don't want to take meds, i don't want to become addicted to meds, i wan't to kick anxiety's *** cold turkey.
please, if anybody has words of wisdom for me at the moment, anything would be greatly aprreciated.
or if anybody has had something like this, and can certainly say it's not anxiety, please let me know!
any input would help me right now.
best regards.
