A member asked:

I have ringing in my head not my ears for about 2 years now. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stephen Rothstein answered

Ringing: Great question but no good answer. The cause of ringing is not clear and there is no treatment. See an ENT to have it checked out and get a hearing test.

Dr A Freisleben-Cook and 4 doctors agreed
