Buzzing or ringing in the earIf you are experiencing a constant ringing, hissing, or buzzing in your ears, this is called Tinnitus. Tinnitus is a phantom noise that may come and go or be permanent. While age and exposure to loud noises are common causes, Tinnitus can also be a sign of other health issues, particularly those affecting your circulation.
