Can i see a psychiatrist to treat my significant anxiety due to constant high frequency sounding tinnitus that is 24 hours a day? ent does not listen.

Yes you can: First they need to determine if it is pulsatile or non-pulsatile.Get an audiology exam. If you have severe tinnitus they then need to do an MRI of your internal auditory canal to determine if you have an Acoustic Neuroma. After that, the ENT should scope your eustachian tube, see if it is patulous. Hearing loss common cause. They have "tinnitus clinic" you can find at major academic centers.
