A member asked:

What can cause a throbbing head with hearing loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Brijesh Chandwani answered

Specializes in Orofacial Pain

ENT consult: Throbbing pain in the head can be due to tension type headache or muscle pain, but hearing loss is not a common symptom; consult your pcp. If hearing loss is sudden and constant, ENT consult.
