When you say "not painful as much as" do you mean it is not painful, or that the other symptoms bother you more? If it is the ringing, then that sounds like possible Tinnitus. I have the same issue with the ringing, also not noticeable when occupied most of the time, but it does flare up and become much more annoying at times. I however have no pain associated with it, although I do suffer cluster, migraine, tension, and thunderclap headaches. If you no then look into the Tinnitus.
