Hi,

Cannabis is well known to cause perceptual disturbances. However, the kind of symptoms that you have described are not very common in cannabis use. I would suggest that you consult a doctor, preferably an ENT specialist, and get your ears checked, so that if there is any ear pathology, it is not missed.

Best wishes.
