My ears have been ringing for at least the past six hours. It's not the TV; they began to ring when I woke up this morning (before I turned the TV on) and remain long after I turn the TV off. Could this be an ear infection? My ears don't hurt..
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Tinnitus is a physical condition, experienced as noises or ringing in the ears or head when no such external physical noise is present. Tinnitus is usually caused by a fault in the hearing system; it is a symptom, not a disease in itself.Tinnitus is rarely an indication of a serious disorder, but it is wise to see your doctor if you think you might have it. Should something treatable be causing it, you might be referred to a specialist.
The noises may seem worse if you are anxious or stressed. When tinnitus starts, particularly if it's sudden, you may naturally be frightened and your concentration or your sleep may be disturbed. You may get angry and frustrated because no-one else understands, or you may live alone and not have anyone to talk to about it

See an ENT, an ear, nose and throat specialist. You could have an ear infection.

It's important that you get your BP (blood pressure) checked immediately. No matter how young you are. Make a Dr.s appointment so you can get a proper diagnosis. High BP, even if it's temporary, can be a killer.
