Its literally sounds that other people can’t hear because they are generated by your own ear ears. Typically, it’s from something damaged in your ear or excess earwax.
It’s not constant, necessarily. It’s also not always ringing. And, you might not hear it in both ears.
For me, I do hear ringing often but not constantly. Sometimes, I just hear a high pitched squeal for a bit. Sometimes it’s the unlike 30 seconds and sometimes it’s much longer.
The symptom that stands out most, is the static sound. It’s like the sound you hear when you tune a tv or a radio to empty station. It mostly happens if the environment is too loud. That could be loud music/tv, a crowd of people, or maybe even just someone speaking loudly.
Most of the time, it’s just kinda annoying and not too bad. If I hear static, I know I’m in an environment that is too loud, and I need to do something to protect the hearing I still have.
That's actually really interesting. Thanks for sharing :)
