What Causes Discomfort In The Head And Ringing In The Ears?

recommend that you see a doctor soon
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
There are a few things about this that are concerning.
First of all whenever discomfort in the head is accompanied with neurologic symptoms like ringing in the ears that is concerning that something is going on in the nervous system.
It is also concerning that the discomfort is always in the same place. Simple headaches tend to move around. Discomfort in the same place with other symptoms may indicate something like a tumor going on in the brain. This does not mean cancer, but there are some benign tumors in the brain that can cause this type of symptoms.
The next concerning aspect is the area. The area over the temple as an artery that sometimes becomes inflamed. This is called temporaral arteritis and can cause pain, heat sensation and tenderness to touch in the temporal area.
Both of these possibilities are serious and would need medical attention.
Please understand that what is going on with you may be something simple like a virus and of no concern. However, there is enough that is concerning in your symptoms that I think you need to see a doctor right away so that they can make sure nothing serious is going on in your case.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
