Ringing in your ears is known as tinnitus and it can be caused by several different physical problems in the ear. Anything from ear wax buildup to tumors. Health Question & Answer

Tinnitus is a ringing, swishing, or other type of noise that seems to originate in the ear or head. In many cases it is not a serious problem, but rather a nuisance that eventually resolves.
It is not a single disease, but a symptom of an underlying condition.

Some tinnitus or head noise is normal. If one goes into a sound proof booth and normal outside noise is diminished, one becomes aware of these normal sounds. We are usually not aware of these normal body sounds, because outside noise masks them.


Some causes of Tinnitus:

Fluid, infection, or disease of the middle ear bones or ear drum.
Damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear
Old age
Loud noise exposure
Some medications (for example, aspirin) and other diseases of the inner ear (Meniere's syndrome)

In many cases, there is no specific treatment for tinnitus. It may simply go away on its own, or it may be a permanent disability that the patient will have to "live with." Some otolaryngologists have recommended niacin to treat tinnitus. However, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that niacin helps reduce tinnitus, and it may cause problems with skin flushing.
