tinitus... there are meds.
I have it too, and mine has gotten a little better by curbing the amount of loud noises and surroundings.
I have not personally taken the meds, but feedback about it is good.

Hello I have this same problem..It is called tinnitus...There is no cure for it..It does fade with some people.As we age, or because of trauma to the ear (through noise, drugs, or chemicals, for example), the portion of the ear that allows us to hear, the cochlea, becomes damaged. With tinnitus, you quite simply hear a noise that no one around you hears. This noise is usually a buzzing or ringing type sound, but it may be a clicking or rushing sound that goes along with your heartbeat. The sound is sometimes accompanied by hearing loss and dizziness ...good luck follow up with a ear nose and throat doctor..

You need to see a specialist and have some tests done to see if you have tinnitis (not sure about the spelling on that)...it is a constant ringing sound in your ears. They should be able to help you out and see what is going on.

The first step is to see an ear, nose and throat specialist. Tinnitus is most common in people over age 40. It affects men more often than women.
There are two main types of tinnitus:
Vibratory tinnitus is often caused by mechanical sounds created by muscle contractions near the ear, changes in the ear canal, or blood flow (vascular) problems involving the face or neck. You may hear sounds such as your own pulse or the contractions of your muscles.
Nonvibratory tinnitus is caused by problems in the central or peripheral nerves involved with hearing. You may hear sounds in one or both ears. Sometimes this type of tinnitus is described as coming from inside the head.
Do you have any of the following symptoms that require emergency treatment? Call 911 or other emergency services immediately.
Severe headache
Vision changes
Loss of coordination or vertigo that prevents standing or walking
Severe vomiting
Signs of a stroke
Tinnitus is usually caused by prolonged exposure to loud noise (acoustic trauma), which damages to the nerves in the inner ear. However, tinnitus can occur with all types of hearing loss and may be a symptom of almost any ear disorder. Other possible causes of tinnitus include:
-A buildup of earwax.
-Medications, especially antibiotics or large amounts of aspirin.
-Drinking an excessive amount of alcohol or caffeinated beverages.
-Hearing loss that may accompany aging (presbycusis).
-Ear infections or eardrum rupture.
-Dental or other problems affecting the mouth, such as temporomandibular (TM) problems.
-Injuries, such as whiplash or a direct blow to the ear or head.
-Injury to the inner ear following surgery or radiation therapy to the head or neck.
-A rapid change in environmental pressure (barotrauma).
-Severe weight loss from malnutrition or excessive dieting.
-Repeated exercise with the neck in a hyperextended position, such as when bicycle riding.
-Blood flow (vascular) problems, such as carotid atherosclerosis, AV malformations, and high blood pressure (hypertension).
-Nerve problems (neurologic disorders), such as multiple sclerosis or migraine headache.
Other diseases. These may include:
Acoustic neuroma.
Anemia.
Labyrinthitis.
Ménière's disease.
Otosclerosis.
Thyroid disease.
Most tinnitus that comes and goes (intermittent) does not require medical treatment. However, if tinnitus is accompanied by other symptoms, becomes persistent, or starts to localize to one ear, a visit to a health professional usually is needed. Often there is no cure for tinnitus, but your health professional can help you learn how to live with the problem.

If you've had this problem for years, you aren't going to be able to get rid of it by a simple remedy someone here can tell you. You need to see a doctor about this.

I would make an appt with the doctor so they can check it out. Sometimes they just need to blast out the wax in your ears with warm water.
