hi
Detailed Answer:
I still dont think this is related to head trauma. This sounds like it could be ear infection or earwax clogged ears and this usually lead to headache. You should have ear irrigation at your GP and see will it help. If not then this is probably ear infection and antibiotics may be neccessary.
