Reason For Having Constant Fizzing Noise In Head Along With Pain In Shoulders And Neck

I am 72 years old, fit, and healthy but presently I am getting a constant fizzing noise in my head, similar to White Noise. It is with me night and day. I also have pains running up through my shoulders and neck into my head, which seem stress-related. Is there any hope for me?

Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are suffering from two separate issues. The first issue of fizzing noise in the head is called tinnitus, the most common cause for this at your age could be due to sensorineural deaffness however other common cause is wax in the ear, kindly approach an ENT for a check up and audiometry
The second issue of pain in the shoulder look like that of spinal origin, i recommend you get a CT spine done to rule out compression of the spinal nerves

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
