Something in canal: There might be something in your ear canal. An insect, loose wax might be possible.  Have your doctor take a look inside using an otoscope.

Birds? Bugs? Brain?: If there isn't some varmint taking up residence in your ear canal, then your main possibilities are inner ear disease, or less likely brain (stem) disease. Audiometric studies can help determine which when combined with ENT physical examination.

Question 4

i have always had the chirping sounds in my ears, but now one ear has developed more of a low roaring sound.  it is very annoying at night?

Accepted Answer

Check out this link: Unfortunately, there's no cure for tinnitus. However, fortunately it's not a fatal condition. Consider seeing an ENT specialist esp. If it's accompanied by hearing loss, dizziness, headache, passing out etc. Perhaps exposure to loud or soft. Constant noise at your workplace or noise may have contributed to your condition.
