ringing in the ears is called Tinnitus \n\nCauses for Tinnitus or ringing in the ear: \n\nAge-related tinnitus causes - hearing loss (presbycusis) occurring usually around age 60. \n\nTrauma-related tinnitus causes - damage to the inner ear (could result from excessive exposure to loud sound). \n\nLong-term use of medications such as aspirin (in large doses), quinine (used in treatment of malaria), antibiotics and anti-inflammatory can be tinnitus causes. Often the unwanted noises disappear once the drugs are discontinued. \n\nTemporomandibular joint problems (jaw disorders resulting in clicking or grating noises) can be one of the tinnitus causes. \n\nOtosclerosis (stiffening of the bones in the middle ear). \n\nTrauma or injury to the head or neck can be a tinnitus cause. \n\nEar wax – Buildup of excess wax in the ear can reduce your ability to hear outside noises, and can be tinnitus causes by causing you to hear internal noises better. \n\nEar infection – If an infection reduces your ability to hear outside noises, you are more likely to hear the noises related to Tinnitus. \n\nAtherosclerosis – Buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits causes tinnitus by causing the middle and inner ear to loose its elasticity which causes the blood flow to become more forceful which makes it easier for the ear to detect the beats. \n\nHigh blood pressure – High blood pressure and factors that increase the blood pressure such as stress, alcohol and caffeine are tinnitus causes and can make the sounds more noticeable. \n\nFood--Specific foods may trigger tinnitus. Problem foods include red wine, grain-based spirits, cheese, and chocolate. Tinnitus may also be caused by foods rich in salicylates (the same ingredient as in aspirin, which also causes tinnitus when taken in large amounts).  \n\nGrowths/tumors--Acoustic neuromas, glomous tumors, otosclerosis may all be tinnitus causes. Surgery may be recommended. \n\nStress--Stress is not a direct cause of tinnitus, but it may generally make an already existing case worse. \n\nSince tinnitus might be a symptom of another health problem, see your doctor for any hearing concerns.  Caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, aspirin, antihistamines, and prescription or even over-the-counter medications can aggravate existing tinnitus and are tinnitus causes.  Although there remains no cure, tinnitus symptoms can be overcome.  RingStop is designed to safely relieve and prevent tinnitus and ear noise symptoms.

Not sure about the beeping,maybe some clicking you will hear.I have heard clicking on my phone often.It is a faint clicking sound.And sometimes my phone will ring just once.I read that just ringing once is someone checking the line to see if someone is on the phone.Spooky ain't it.Oh,well,if they are listening to me they learn about PMS and such fashionable conversations and maybe a few other boring conversations.I did some reading myself,here is a few sites I found listed below.The famguardian.org was a link on one of the sites listed below.I could not get back to it,but the way I have it typed in below was the way it showed up on my address bar.Anyway there is some good reading on the sites to answer your question.

I would not think the two are related. You might want to check with your doctor to be sure. Ringing in the ear, aka "tinitus", can be from aging or from listening to music that is too loud. Again, you should check with your dr. to find out.

The noise you're describing is known as pulsatile tinnitus, and is probably generated by turbulence of the blood flow in the vessels near the ear. In some people this is normal, but there is also a possibility of this being due to an abnormality in the blood vessels near the ear (such as an aneurysm or an AVM). You should consult an ENT surgeon for further investigation, especially since in your case it has only been present for a week, and is associated with pain in the ear.

Any sudden hearing loss should be evaluated by an Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose & Throat) ASAP - the sooner you treat it, the more effective treatment will be.  Be as detailed as possible with your history and symptoms, especially medications, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus (noises in the ear).\n\nThe Piroxicam website says to contact your physician immediately if you experience ringing in your ears, but doesn't mention hearing loss:\nhttp://www.piroxicam.com/product_info_7.htm\n\nPotential causes could be an unrelated build-up of ear wax, or fluid in the middle-ear space behind the ear drum; or it could be an inner ear problem which may require antibiotic and/or steroid treatment.  \n**Again, it is crucial to get a prompt, accurate diagnosis, so see and Ear Specialist and make sure the evaluation includes a complete audiological evaluation to aid in diagnosis, and compare after treatment.**  \n\nCall your primary doctor and/or insurance company to find a specialist in your area that participates with your insurance, and call around to find one who can see you tomorrow morning, if at all possible.  Good luck, I hope you feel better soon!

I have the same thing...it's not specific to one ear or another.  But there are times when I'll hear something that sounds like soft footsteps or tapping, and I've realized it's my heartbeat!\n\nI don't know anything specific to stop this, but in general, you can lower your heart rate with long, deep breathing.  That's helped me in the past.

Ringing of the ear is called Tinnitus.\nInside your inner ear, thousands of auditory cells maintain an electrical charge. Microscopic hairs form a fringe on the surface of each auditory cell. When they're healthy, these hairs move in relation to the pressure of sound waves. The movement triggers the cell to discharge electricity through the auditory nerve. Your brain interprets these signals as sound.\n\nIf the delicate hairs inside your inner ear are bent or broken, they move randomly in a constant state of irritation. Unable to hold their charge, the auditory cells "leak" random electrical impulses to your brain as noise.\n\nDamage to auditory cells in your inner ear most commonly results from:\n\nAge-related hearing loss (presbycusis). This process usually begins around age 60. \nNoise-related damage to your inner ear. This erosion of your hearing ability may result from excessive exposure to loud noise over a long period of time. Tractors, chain saws and weapons are common sources of noise-related hearing loss. Portable music devices, such as MP3 players or iPods, may become a common source of noise-related hearing loss in the future if people play these devices loudly for long periods. \nOther causes of tinnitus may include:\n\nLong-term use of certain medications. Aspirin used in large doses and certain types of antibiotics can affect inner ear cells. Often the unwanted noise disappears when you stop using these drugs. \nChanges in ear bones. Stiffening of the bones in your middle ear (otosclerosis) may affect your hearing. \nInjury. Trauma to your head or neck can damage your inner ear. \nCertain disorders of your blood vessels can cause a type of tinnitus called pulsatile tinnitus. These may include:\n\nAtherosclerosis. With age and buildup of cholesterol and other fatty deposits, major blood vessels close to your middle and inner ear lose some of their elasticity — the ability to flex or expand slightly with each heartbeat. That causes blood flow to become more forceful and sometimes more turbulent, making it easier for your ear to detect the beats. \nHigh blood pressure. Hypertension and factors that increase blood pressure, such as stress, alcohol and caffeine, can make the sound more noticeable. Repositioning your head usually causes the sound to disappear. \nTurbulent blood flow. Narrowing or kinking in a carotid artery or jugular vein can cause turbulent blood flow and head noise. \nMalformation of capillaries. A condition called A-V malformation, which occurs in the connections between arteries and veins, can result in head noise. \nHead and neck tumors. Tinnitus may be a symptom of a tumor in your head or neck.  \n\nSo as not to cause panic.  Maybe it's just a simple case of water trapped in your ear. or an infection called otitis media.  It would be prudent for you to go see an EENT for proper diagnosis. and treatment.  All you need might only be an ear irrigation.\n\nTinnitus is usually caused by a head injury, an infection, such as colds or sinus infection or sinusitis, a disease or exposure to loud sounds such as gunshots and explosions.\n\nIt can be a sign of hearing loss, or it can result from head injuries, or diseases that range from the common cold to diabetes. People who work with noisy equipment, such as power tools, can also get it. Or tinnitus may be initiated by a single loud noise, such as a gunshot or an explosion. It can also be a symptom of almost any ear disorder, including the following:\n\n Ear infections \n Blocked ear canal \n Blocked eustachian tube \n Otosolerosis \n Tumors of the middle ear \n Meniere's disease \n Damage to the ear caused by drugs (such as aspirin and some antibiotics) \n Hearing loss \n Blast injury from a blast or explosion \n\nTinnitus may also occur with other disorders such as anemia, heart and blood vessel disorders including hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and low thyroid hormone levels in the blood (hypothyroidism).\n\nA wide variety

EEK! I did  that at a concert when I was young. I think the worst of it was over in 2 days, but my ears had a slight ring for quite a long time after that.  Chances are you've done some permanent damage. You might want to go get a hearing test at a Ear/Nose/Throat doctor.

Could be inner ear or high blood pressure

Mine does that. I'll tell you why, too. Whenever you are about to receive a phone call or text message, the radio waves from the antenna become bent and distorted because of the magnets in the speakers. Therefore you have a three-burst buzz that sounds from the speakers.

Have you got a problem with your inner ear, this can some times effect your sense of balance.

You should go see a specialist.  My ears have been ringing for 15 years, the doctor told me that it is nerve damage and there is no way to fix it.  However, sometimes it is due to something else that is operable.  Have it checked out.  If it's not repairable, you'll get used to it, believe me.

It is like SONAR.  A high frequency sound is emitted that bounces off surfaces inside your body.  The bounced back sound is collected and is used to generate a picture of your insides.

Dear,I am also a sufferer from headaches and migaine.My strong advice find a really good neurologist to find the proper solution,by examining you scrupulously and to administer to you some really workable medication.As you share your experience I don't think your doctor give you the right "help"..As to your feeling of hearing some ringing in your ear it is a sign that you can have problems with your vestibular system..and that is cured with other medications..LUck and God bless you!!
