I heard that if that happens it is called death rings. Why does it happen? Please serious answers only. I know drugs are bad so please spare me the lecture. My friend scares me when she tells me this happens to her.

it is the blood rushing past the ear. the mastoid process is the bony mass behind your ear. it is sort of spongy in it's look. it also butts up against the mengies.
when you take any drug, it affects the blood pressure and heart rate. as the blood flows faster, the carotid artery has an ending/offshoot in the ear.
as the blood runs faster, the carotid vibrates and the mastoid process "magnifies" the sound. also, inside the ear, is the cochlea (coke-lee-ah) which is a fluid filled snail-shaped organ which has delicate hairs in it.
normally the stapes bone strikes the cochlea, which converts the mechanical energy (sound) to a fluid energy, inside the organ of corti.
all of these together, work sort of in reverse when the blood flow increases, therefore, this is one reason why "ringing" occurs.

Behind the curtain of everyday consciousness lies a more strange mental universe. Could it be people think they hear things that simply aren't there? Sort of like one can feel 'pain' from hearing a dental drill ..or Kenny G.
