welcome, clarabelle -
Glad that you found your way to this forum. There are lots of knowledgeable, highly intelligent and heartful, well-experienced persons who are very generous with their time and quality of information shared.

Would you share a bit more about the what/where/when/how of your fall? A ballpark range of your age? Any former head/neck trauma?
What type of doctors have you seen? Area of the country/world in which you live? This info is helpful for forum community members to be able to address your particular concerns and suggestions for perhaps someone good to see/consult in the area/region where you live.

I think you'll find lots of ear/hearing concerns in the postings herein.
Here is a thread with which you might want to start:"Hearing problems / Tinnitus / Sound sensitivity. You can type it into "search" found at top of these pages.

I, as many others here, have experienced the ear concerns you mention. (Have I gotten any help from my drs. for any of that? No.)
You'll find *lots* of helpful suggestions on these postings, e.g. ear plugs to buffer the over-sensitivity to sound, use of a fan or white-noise when you sleep at night, and more.

Glad that you found this forum. It's the best resource and support I've found in over 18 months since my mTBI/closed head injury/PCS. Keep posting, clarabelle! Welcome. Sincerely, Theta Z.
