But others are right, it can be a medical thing related to your actual hearing. My T's think that mine might be a sort of somatic thing, but I'm not sure because I have a history of many ear infections as a child.
It's interesting how the type of ringing is different for each person.. the only way I can describe mine is the sound of when a certain t.v channel goes off the air after a certain hour and all you hear is the loud 'beeeeeeeeeeeeep' noise when they channel says 'off the air'. I wish there was a way to stop it from happening.. I do notice that it tends to happen more when there's no other noise around me.. like when i'm trying to fall asleep at night or on the computer with no music or background sounds.
