you have Tinnitus
If you have tinnitus, you hear ringing or another sound in your ears most of the time.
Too much loud noise over a long period can cause tinnitus.
Some medicines such as antibiotics and drugs for cancer can cause tinnitus.
Many people who get tinnitus have lost
some of their hearing.
There's usually no cure for tinnitus, but there may be things you can do to help you cope.
Tinnitus can come and go. If the tinnitus is very bad, it may be difficult to work or sleep. Your doctor can make sure that there's no serious problem causing tinnitus and may refer you for a hearing test with a doctor who specializes in ear, nose and throat problems or someone who specializes in hearing disorders. You may find it helps just to hear from your doctor that there's nothing seriously wrong. If you are depressed from your tinnitus, there are treatments that can help.

It sounds like tinnitus(spelling?) a ringing in the year caused by damage to the inner ear from excessive noise. It is a form of nerve damage. Seek a specialist. It is possible that it can be treated surgically if it is not too extensive.

I have the same problem with my left ear. When it first started, I was asking everybody if they heard that noise. They would say what noise.
It seems to get worse in bed at night.

Its called tinnitis (maybe sp tinnitus?). I have it too - an ongoing ringing in your head that does not originate from the environment.
Basically I have learned to live with it (11 years now) but I'm sure you will find suggestions using a search engine, now that you know what it is.
Your specialist should have diagnosed this.

I don't know what it is, but I do know what you're talking about. I get the same thing. Sometimes I don't notice it but if the room is quite it's almost deafening.
