What Causes a Constant Ringing Noise in the Ear?
Approximately 20 percent of people regularly experience noise in one or both ears, which is referred to by physicians as “tinnitus.” While sufferers often describe it as a ringing noise, it may also be heard as hissing, roaring, whistling or even clicking. In some cases the noise can become extremely loud and can interfere with hearing normal external sounds. Tinnitus can often be treated, with the method of treatment varying depending on the underlying cause.
