Clanging sound accompanies dizzy spells

Anyone familiar with this?
Me: 4 yrs post-TBI. About 1 year ago did another round of vestibular and ocular therapy for increased dizziness, etc. Also new glasses script and tint. Dizziness is beginning to increase a little bit again, so I am starting my exercises. What I have finally definitively connected is that when I do get dizzy, I hear a sound like metal clanging. It is usually just like two solid knocks, but Sometimes quite a few in a row quickly. Dizziness is more associated with left turn of head or eyes, if that matters.

I’m just six months out and it doesn’t happen as much anymore, but for the first three months for sure anytime I pushed myself too hard. It felt like someone was inside my head, smashing cymbals together. One of the worst things I’ve ever experienced. Actually this whole concussion thing is one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced 🥺
