Brief Answer:
Most probably due to stress

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome back.
Sorry for the delay in response.
I was busy in my clinic work.

I have gone through your 2nd query.
It is mostly due to Stress.
Lot of people can hear a buzzing noise when they can really focus on noise in a silent back ground. It is nothing to worry.
If it is associated with hearing loss only then it could be problematic. Because it would be a case of Tinnitus. If not, then I would suggest you not to worry about it.
Keep yourself busy and avoid focusing on sound which can make it much more realistic.
Turn on fan during sleep, try listening to music before sleep.
The faster you try to avoid it, the faster will be the results.

For scalp pain you can take Disprin.

I also suggest you to get your blood pressure checked as variation in BP can also lead to most of your symptoms like feeling light headedness, noise in ear etc.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
