You may have a condition called Tinnitus.  Variously pronounced Tin I tus, or  Tin ee tus.  It can be caused by several things.  Among them are: insult or injury to hearing or certain drugs.  Aspirin will cause it on a temporary basis.  It can get very loud.  William Shatner (Captain Kirk) once head of the Tinnitus Foundation, complains of loud roaring in his ears.  It is annoying but no real threat.  I have it from time to time.  See a doctor for latest treatments.

You should go see a doctor you may have ear damage. If you listen  to very loud music with earphones or ear buds the sound vibrations damage the eardrum.

this actually depends on where you actually keep your hands. Some may get excited when touching the ears, for some it may be hip. Some may not get excited on these things.

i once read an article on weapons using noise to cause feelings of nausea and lightheadedness, along with extreme confusion.  theres the flashbang grenade, which doesnt explode but uses  ultrasound to violently shake the water in the eardrum, causing dizziness.  Then theres the highly experimental ring-vortex cannon, which fires a circular sound wave extrememly fast,knocking back adults, but can break bones and cause complete deafness.  But lethal, other than the cannon, i dont think there is anything like that yet.

Do you like it funny funny stuff.\n\nThe sticky stuff we call ear wax isn't related to the paraffin wax that candles are made of. Ear wax is secreted by cerumen glands in the skin of your ear canals. \nThis substance is part of your ear's natural cleaning mechanism. Dirt, bacteria, and even insects that might fly into your ears are trapped by the wax so the foreign materials don't harm your eardrum. The dirty wax slowly slides out of your ear canal and takes the gunk away. Sometimes ear wax builds up and causes hearing problems that require a doctor to remove the blockage. \n\nPeople produce different types of ear wax. Studies have found two kinds -- dry wax, which has about 20% lipid (fat), and wet wax, which has 50% lipid. The latter variety can be harder and lead to buildup. \n\nSome people simply create more ear wax than others. Their ear canals may be narrower and more easily blocked or at an angle that makes it hard for wax to fall out. Hairy ear canals can obstruct the process, too. As people age, more ear wax may build up. Even working in dusty environments can cause dirt to get stuck in the ear and lead to blockages.

it happens 2 me only 1st in like 3 weeks\n\nIs the Ringing in My Ears Normal?\n\nNot at all. Tinnitus is the name for these head noises, and they are very common. Nearly 36 million Americans suffer from this discomfort. Tinnitus may come and go, or you 302may be aware of a continuous sound. It can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal or whine, and you may hear it in one or both ears. When the ringing is constant, it can be annoying and distracting. More than seven million people are afflicted so severely that they cannot lead normal lives.\nCan Other People Hear the Noise in My Ears?\n\nNot usually, but sometimes they are able to hear a certain type of tinnitus. This is called "objective tinnitus," and it caused either by abnormalities in blood vessels around the outside of the ear or by muscle spasms, which may sound like clicks or crackling inside the middle ear.\n \nWhat Causes Tinnitus?\n\nMost tinnitus comes from damage to the microscopic endings of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. The health of these nerve endings is important for acute hearing, and injury to them brings on hearing loss and often tinnitus. If you are older, advancing age is generally accompanied by a certain amount of hearing nerve impairment and tinnitus. If you are younger, exposure to loud noise is probably the leading cause of tinnitus, and often damages hearing as well.\n\nThere are many causes for "subjective tinnitus," the noise only you can hear. Some causes are not serious (a small plug of wax in the ear canal might cause temporary tinnitus). Tinnitus can also be a symptom of stiffening of the middle ear bones (otosclerosis).\n\nTinnitus may also be caused by allergy, high or low blood pressure (blood circulation problems), a tumor, diabetes, thyroid problems, injury to the head or neck, and a variety of other causes including medications such as anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, sedatives, antidepressants, and aspirin. If you take aspirin and your ears ring, talk to your doctor about dosage in relation to your size.\n\nTreatment will be quite different in each case of tinnitus. It is important to see an otolaryngologist to investigate the cause of your tinnitus so that the best treatment can be determined.\n \nTinnitus Treatment\n\nIn most cases, there is no specific treatment for ear and head noise. If your otolaryngologist finds a specific cause of your tinnitus, he or she may be able to eliminate the noise. But, this determination may require extensive testing including X-rays, balance tests, and laboratory work. However, most causes cannot be identified. Occasionally, medicine may help the noise. The medications used are varied, and several may be tried to see if they help.\n\nThe following list of DOs and DON'Ts can help lessen the severity of tinnitus:\n\n    * Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.\n    * Get your blood pressure checked. If it is high, get your doctor's help to control it.\n    * Decrease your intake of salt. Salt impairs blood circulation.\n    * Avoid stimulants such as coffee, tea, cola, and tobacco.\n    * Exercise daily to improve your circulation.\n    * Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.\n    * Stop worrying about the noise. Recognize your head noise as an annoyance and learn to ignore it as much as possible. \n\n \nCan You Help Me Cope With Tinnitus?\n\nConcentration and relaxation exercises can help to control muscle groups and circulation throughout the body. The increased relaxation and circulation achieved by these exercises can reduce the intensity of tinnitus in some patients.\n\nMasking. Tinnitus is usually more bothersome in quiet surroundings. A competing sound at a constant low level, such as a ticking clock or radio static (white noise), may mask the tinnitus and make it less noticeable. Products that generate white noise are also available through catalogs and specialty stores.\n\nHearing Aids. If you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid(s) may reduce head n

I've found that using a reflexology point in between your middle and ring fingers works really well for relieving tinnitus when it flares up. You just pinch the webbing at the base between the fingers on the side opposite of the ringing in your ears. So, if the ringing is in my right ear, then I pinch the webbing between the second and third fingers of my left hand.

High blood pressure can result in ringing or buzzing in the ear (called tinnitis). Tinnitis often is associated with hearing loss, and people with high blood pressure may be more sensitive to noise-induced hearing loss, as well.

I've these round things, called tympanums, which are my external ear drums that transmit sound to my middle and inner ears.  Your ear drums in stuck somewhere in your ears.\n\nI'm not answering any more frog questions.  Croak croak.

How long has it been since your ears were pierced?  Have you been wearing inexpensive earrings?  Are your ears swollen and red?  Try clean them with peroxide and letting the holes boil out any infection that might be there.  Also after using peroxide clean the holes with alcohol.  Hope this helps.

Hm.  I'm no doctor and most of my knowledge concerns forensic and mortuary science.  Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, can actually encompass both ring and a rythymic beating sound.  This is an entirely subjective experience. Check it out on wikipedia and see if it matches what you describe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnitus\n\nIt may also be Bruit, similiar to Tinnitus, which is caused by the way that blood rushes past an obstruction in a blood vessel.  This can be heard by another person using a stethoscope.\n\nIt may also be a mild hallucination.  I hate to say that though.  The only thing that really gave me cause to say that is your statement that you "feel like it means something."  Hallucinations with paranoia, which is what I would consider believing an unknown stimulus to mean something, are often not good things, not at all good.\n\nGet checked out by a doctor, it's more likely to be something like tinnitus or bruit.  And when you're there make sure you describe to him/her everything that you described to the Answers community above.
