What Causes Dizziness After A Concussion?

I suffered a concussion about 2 months ago. I still get a little dizzy once in a while, but what concerns me is that for the last week and a half, I have been hearing a whooshing heart beat sound in my left ear. It never goes away. It's kind of driving me crazy. Should I be concerned?
