If you are experiencing ringing in your ears, you are experiencing tinnitus which is the perception of sound in one or both ears when no external sound is present. Tinnitus may sound like buzzing, ringing, chirping, roaring and hissing. This is a condition that affects millions of people and, for some, limits their ability to function normally on a daily basis. Causes of tinnitus can include exposure to noise, excessive earwax in the ear canal, ear infections, and medications. Often, tinnitus is a symptom of hearing loss.
