Its tinitus, what you think you hear is feeling from the nerves that usually respond to sound, it is caused by them healing, same way a scratch will itch as it heals.
So, ringing in your ears is nerve damage, it takes a very long time for nerves to heal.
The damage may be the result of an infection, but far more likely is that you have damaged the nerves by exposure to loud noises.
Wgats loud?, well, if you can hear someone elses personal stereo (ear bud style) then it is too loud for them.
If you persist to damage your hearing you will notice that the pitch of the ringing will drop, representing permanent loss of hearing in the high pitch region

yes. The human ears can't except total silence. Most people havn't even ever experienced absolute silence before. So our brains create a slight ringing to fill in the absence of sound. The stronger the silence, the louder the ringing. In fact, if you were put in a room with absolutley no noise at all for to long a period, the ringing would become so loud that you would suffer hearing damage.

Yes, since my surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. Sounds like 10 tuning forks all going at the same time. I have no ear canal, ear drum, only 1 middle ear bone, no temporal bone. It's probably damage from the noise of the surgical instruments during the surgery.
Of course, I am deaf on that side, though I can hear if I have a set of good headphones on, via bone conduction.

Yes I do. I wouldn't call it a ringing, but if I sit in absolute silence and think about it, it can sometimes seem blaringly loud. I have no idea what causes it, perhaps the flow of blood near the ear canal or something?

All the time. I heard that it is because the hearing is so sensitive it is hearing the blood moving inside the veins and arteries near the ear.
