For as long as I can remember I've heard a low hum in my ears. I DON'T have tinitus. Sometimes the hum goes away and then it comes back again. Sometimes it is faint and sometimes it is loud. It sounds like a large truck going by on the freeway. I hate this because I can't figure out what is causing it!!

maybe your need to get your ear drums checked.

This happened to my Microbiology teacher and he went to the doctor.. They put in an alcohol solution and pulled out a huge piece of earwax....I was causing the tympanic membrane to randomly vibrate causing a huming noise

How do you know you don't have tinnitus? Have you ever had it checked out by a doctor? You need to get that checked out. It could be nerve damage, an infection, I know you don't want to hear it, but tinnitus...you can't self-diagnose these things and we can't diagnose it for you over the internet. You need to have it checked out by a professional.

Have you had your ears checked?Do you wash your ears by getting water in your ears and then tipping your head?
