Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting the query and an elaborate history. I do understand the concern behind your problem, I'll try my best to help you with this query.
Noise in the head or ear followed by lightheadedness could be due to various conditions such as:
1. Eustachian tube (the tube connectiong nose and the ear) catarrh or sudden block in the Eustachian tube.
2. Increased pressure in the inner ear.
3. Anxiety related, etc.
It requires a complete evaluation of the neck, nose and the ear.
1. X-Ray of the neck - to rule out cervical spine compression.
2. Audiological investigations
3. MRI of the brain to look for any vascular lesion compressing over the sensitive inner ear nerves.
Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
