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?
