tinnitus sensation
Tinnitus seems to convey the 'tin-can' effect.
Otherwise, courtesy of my Turkish acquaintances, the joke comes to mind from my time in Stockholm and that may still be doing the rounds: 'Turk på burk smakar urk, men kebab på burk smakar inte skurk.'

Example sentence:
Such tinnitus (subjective tinnitus) is a phantom sensation, where abnormal neural activity is generated in the ear, the auditory nerve, or the central nervous system.

If it is the same as "lockkänsla", then there is an existing answer listing several SNOMED alternatives: "Sensation of block in ear", "Ear blockage sensation", "Blocked ears" and "Plugged feeling in ear".
see: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/swedish-to-english/medical-genera...
Answer chosen was "sensation of blocked ears".
Seems like Adrian is still right about the diagnosis, see:
