Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Your symptoms may be suggestive for an inner ear infection or an intracranial vascular disorder (malformation).
I would recommend consulting with the ENT specialist for a careful physical exam.
If the sound of your heart is objective (which means that the doctor can hear it with a stethoscope behind your ear), a brain MRI should be done to exclude possible intracranial vessel malformation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
