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?
Head injury complications depends upon severity of impact and associated features at the time of injury. Your complains seems to be due to involvement of vestibulocochlear apparatus of left side most likely secondary to petrous part of temporal bone fracture. I will advise you to consult a neurologist and E . N. T specialist for proper examination and investigation. Wishing for your good health.
