Hi

ringing of ears in medical terminology is called as tinnitus.

The most common type of tinnitus is a high frequency ringing in the ears. It can be due to problems in the inner ear and is usually associated with medications that can be toxic to the ear -- “ototoxic” in doctor jargon.

One very common drug that’s ototoxic is aspirin, but most people don’t experience much of a problem unless they are on a high dose regimen, such as is common in treating some types of arthritis.

Some people experience a pulsating type of sound. This is called pulsatile tinnitus. If the pulsations are in rhythm with the heartbeat, this is a good clue that the cause may be a heart murmur or obstruction in the carotid artery. On the other hand, a pulsating sound that is not “in sync” with the heart, may indicate fluid in the middle ear or a loss of motion in the ear bones, a condition called otosclerosis.

There can be a fluttering type of tinnitus. This is associated with a spasm of the muscle that tenses up the ear drum (tensor tympani).

If the tinnitus is crunching in nature, it may be due to a problem in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or may be due to something rubbing against the eardrum, like a piece of hair.

When the tinnitus is related to hearing loss in one ear, it may be due to an acoustic neuroma. When the hearing loss is associated with dizziness, it may be due to Meniere’s disease.FRom all i can say That u need Ur ear examination by Otologist.
