Suggest Treatment For Numbness In The Ears Followed By Headaches

I have had so much pressure in my head, I hear what I believe is my heart best in my ear, numbness in my ears, headaches and dizziness for a few months now off and on. The ears are what bother me the most. Any idea what this could be? Thank you so much!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The abnormal noise in the ear is likely tinnitus. This can cause a variety of abnormal sounds such as beating, ringing, buzzing etc.

There are different possible causes but some of the causes may be associated with additional symptoms such as dizziness and headaches.
Some causes of tinnitus are infection, meniere's disease, trauma, age related hearing loss, mass in the ear or brain, side effect of medication.

It may be best to see an ENT doctor for assessment.

I hope this helps
