Question 4

why do i keep hearing white noise or ringing in my ear?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Ringing in the ears is a very common complaint seen in an ENT office.  If the sound is symmetrical in both ears, it is probably of no concern.  If it only on one side, a complete ear workup is mandatory.
If it is the result of excessive noise exposure, it is usually not correctable.  The why in your question is that the most modern concept is a synchronous electrical discharge from the brain.

Blocks out stuff: White  noise is helpful for some people because it floods the senses with a signal that doesn't require any thinking to sort out - it's not the same as music or tv so the brain can 'tune it out' meanwhile other stimulus are not allowed in. Doesn't work for everyone.
