What causes ringing in your ear?

Answer 1

I am losing my hearing and the Dr. told me that was a sign of it.

Answer 2

It's important to say that tinnitus is a symptom and not a disease. Some people will have tinnitus because their Cochlea is damaged. And in a few, it could be caused due to hearing loss. But of course, the most common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud noises. The noise can be a sudden burst, or it could be a constant banging that hits the ear drum and travels inside.

Answer 3

ringing in my ears is caused by fluid behind the ear drum. I have ear infections so often I don't even realize it until I get the ringing, then the ringing stops and I don't hear AT ALL for a few seconds. See your doctor.

Answer 4

Many people experience an occasional ringing (or roaring, hissing, buzzing, or tinkling) in their ears. The sound usually lasts only a few minutes. If it becomes persistent, you may have tinnitus.

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.

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.

Answer 5

I think you're referring to Tinitus, there are many reasons:
-jaw problems, ear problems, exposure to loud noise/music for prolonged periods of time.
For me I get it when I take any kind of aspirin or tylenol and if I drink Dr. Pepper (which, I know sounds weird, but it's true)
Your doc can help you, or whoever.

Answer 6

Someone talking evil about you. :(

No really, it is a sign of something wrong. You need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Perhaps go to en Emergency Room if you don't have an ENT.
