Noise In Head
by Sandy2165, Oct 30, 2009 04:45PM
Okay so I've been hearing this weird noise inside my head now for several months. Started to occur after an auto accident. I didn't receive any head injury but can't help but wonder if the accident has something to do with it. The sound I hear sounds almost like a roaring sound like a fan. I'm also very sensitive to the barometric pressure changes with the weather. Sensitive to electrical appliances & RF devices such as cell phones. All these things seem to cause strange sensations in my head.I have had a tumor removed from my pituitary gland several years ago. Not sure if this would have caused any lasting effects. Has any one else experienced this or something similar? Please help me figure this out. All my doctors think I'm crazy. Thanks for any input.

Welcome to the forum!
Your symptoms could be due to raised intracranial pressure as seen in benign intracranial hypertension. This happens due to impaired CSF absorption. A generalized throbbing headache worst felt in the morning and last thing at night. This is often accompanied by sounds in the ear or tinnitus and visual problems. Hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, adrenal insufficiency are a few things I would recommend you get investigated for. These can precipitate BIH. A spinal tap is a must both to diagnose the condition and to treat it.
It could also be due to blocked Eustachian tube or due to middle or inner ear infection or wax in the ear canal. There are many other causes related to the nerve of hearing and to the ear.
Please discuss this with your doctor and get a referral for a neurologist and an ENT specialist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
