What’s that ringing noise?
You’re probably talking about tinnitus. Tinnitus is the perception of sounds in either ear or within the head. It’s often described as ringing, but can also be a buzzing, chirping, whoosing, rushing, roaring, or humming sound. Some people even describe it as “crickets.” It can be caused by a variety of things, including hearing loss and noise trauma, ear disease, medications, stress, hypertension, or excessive earwax, just to name a few.
