Tinnitus and head heaviness

Tinnitus (and ear fullness) are pretty common. Hearing loss can result in the brain trying to fill the void, I have been told. Many of us have had some sort of noise trauma: loud concerts, guns or explosions, that kind of thing. Hyperacusis, a sensitivity to noise, can also follow.

There is no cure. There is a tinnitus forum online (Tinnitus Talk?) that discusses approaches. Some people do retraining with an audiologist. Many play rain sounds or something else to mask the tinnitus sounds. I can't: rain sounds all night gave me vertigo.

The most basic advice is that the brain accommodates itself so you don't notice it all the time. Mine is loud when I go to bed.

The only thing to check out is whether we have an acoustic neuroma. I am having an MRI in a few weeks to make sure. Also have a hearing test!

My condition of “noise” in my forehead is caused by a condition labeled “dissequilibrium”. My balance has pretty-much been restore after 2 months of balance therapy twice a week, but head issue is still happening especially late in the day & after workouts. Can anybody help me?

I have the same condition Pulstating Tinnitus. I have so much pressure in my head 24/7 and I hear my heart beat in a whooshing sound. Lately, I have been experiencing out of balance when I walk or turn around. Dr. could not tell me what to do about just diagnosing Pulsating Tinnitus!

My problem may be related to possible aspergillus: … Aspergillus can cause allergic reactions, chronic lung conditions and invasive disease that spreads to your brain, kidneys, lungs or other organs

@za5045 one of my kids, in their 20's, had pulsatile tinnitus after a head injury. They first determined if it had something to do with the bone in the ear ( a conduction problem) then did an angiogram of the brain looking for vascular irregularities and found a fistula. They then went in at her groin and place coils in her brain to divert and block vessels to restore normalcy. One night in the ICU.

Pulsatile is different from subjective tinnitus and doctors can hear it. The specialist dealing with this is an interventional radiologist and we were referred by a neurosurgeon. Not saying this is your case...it could be a conduction issue.
