I am a 67 year old woman. I recently started hearing a noise in my head. It s difficult to describe but I ll give it my best shot. It is a swishing sound. Like the sound that comes out of can of hair spray.....or the sound of bristles from a broom scraping the floor. It is sometimes accompanied by dizziness. I also have been somewhat hyper lately as well. Without an exam, does anything come to mind?
Hello, Your narration seems to be suggestive of tinnitus. Such a complaint usually arise from abnormalities of ear related structures. Associated dizziness, vertigo or hearing loss may be of concern. In some people tinnitus may be of vascular origin more prominent in night. You need to consult an E N T specialist or neurologist for proper evaluation and diagnosis. Audiometry, blood pressure measurement, local ear examination and imaging may be required. Sometimes it goes on its own, but I will suggest you to consult specialist. Hope this information will be helpful for you. God bless you Thanks Chat Doctor.
