I experienced ear fullness for almost two years, for me it was entirely related to my neck, although I always had attributed it to my brain and over exertion.

Running or anything that bounces my head around still causes it, but lifting by weights skating riding a bike don't cause me problems any more. It gave me anxiety when it would happen, which of course would proliferate any problems I was having.

Getting ims massage physio stretching helped a ton with mine

So, did you manage to get this resolved completely through therapy? Similar symptoms on my end. Neither physio, or IMS helped me unfortunately.

May 2013 - Motorcycle accident. Hit head falling off motorcycle at 80-100km/h after hitting a median and knocked unconscious. Taken to hospital via ambulance. Partial loss of vision on the way. Cleared of any internal injuries at via CT and released.

May 2013 - Early morning upon arriving back from hospital, I started uncontrollably shaking (not a seizure), more so shock related. Paramedics to home and back to hospital. Cleared again and sent home.

August 2013 - Feeling normal and 100% better, I started to engage in normal activities, including full time work with no symptoms. I fell unconscious in my home, striking my head and waking up in a pool of blood and vomiting profusely. Noticeable trauma to face and nose upon waking up. Very nauseous and taken back to hospital. Cleared of any 'visible' injuries aside from superficial. Nausea and light sensitivity were very noticeable, to the point where I could not view a computer, or even TV. Approx. 4 weeks after the fall, I started to experience daily and extreme symptoms of dizziness, faintness, lightheadedness, nausea, tinnitus, neck stiffness/pain that has been present ever since. Some days are better, others very bad.

Tests include:
  • CT x 2
  • MRI x 2
  • Neck x-ray
  • Vestibular assessment (noticed a very slight left eye nystagmus.
  • Physio for neck, jaw shoulders for 1.5 years (stopped in 2015)
  • Heart holter monitor (24 hour)
  • ECG
  • Vision test

All tests yield no results and left with PCS diagnosis.

I went to a really noisy restaurant about 6 months ago. I avoid those kinds of placess big time. This time i couldnt. The noise really set me off. I now feel like my left ear needs to pop or clear like when u go on an airplane. I went to the doc thinking I had water in it or something...he said it was fine. It is super annoying - if any one had any thoughts that would be amazing

Find that atmospheric pressure often causes my ear fullness. Hold nose and blow sometimes helps and also taking whiffs of oils like eucalyptus helps immensely especially when flying.

In the first two months after my injury, I experienced unbearable "fullness" in my ears -- I would describe it as feeling like my ears were full of water and thus experienced a rushing or "welling" sound. I was hyper sensitive to all sound -- someone closing a door felt like it was slamming in my brain. Three months later, the "welling" or "fullness" has become intermittent, but it is worse when people shout, and I am still hyper sensitive to loud places (cafes, etc.) The only thing I found helpful was getting more sleep (which I know with PCS can be near impossible). Sorry not to be able to help more.
