Hi Madam.

Thanks for your query an elucidate self-explanatory history.

To recapitulate: Severe neck pain over the summer for several weeks- hissing sound seemingly to your heart beat- in head and coming from the base of the head or neck- very noticeable in the quiet room and upsetting - neck is achy to move-
... What can this be and type of Doctor to see ...

Your history is quite classical of few conditions, namely Glomus Jugulare Tumor as the most common to cause these symptoms.
I would advise you to consult an ENT Surgeon for a detailed examination, to undergo radiologic evaluation like a CT scan or an MRI of brain and neck and to plan further management.

Also see that you are not hypertensive.

I hope this answer helps you to have a proper guidance to have an early diagnosis and proper treatment.
