Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing a constant ringing sound in my ear, and I'm not sure what it is. It feels like a high-pitched noise, and sometimes it gets louder or quieter. How would you describe this sensation, and what could be causing it?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. The sensation you're describing sounds like a type of tinnitus, where you hear a constant pure tone, often in the form of a ringing or buzzing sound.
2. It's not uncommon for this tone to gradually fade over time, although the severity can vary from person to person.
3. Tinnitus can be caused by a variety of factors, including exposure to loud noises, ear infections, or even changes in ear pressure. If the sensation persists or worsens, I would recommend seeing a specialist to assess your ear health and identify any underlying causes.
Thanks
