Tinnitis : Tinnitis is an internal sound that a person hears that may be described as a humming, buzzing, or ringing sound. Its source is the inner ear and can result from loud noise exposures over time, certain medications, turbulent bloodflow through the internal carotid artery (pulsatile) or internal jugular vein (humming). It has nothing to do with wax in your ears or your eardrum. You would be well served to have an ENT check out your ears and perform a hearing test (audiogram) to help define the cause for your complaints.
