Is it normal to hear a strange buzzing/ringing sound when it is dead silent? almost like a conscious buzzing sound. are my ears not used to silence?

Nope. : It's called tinnitus. You need to see a doctor. You may need a hearing test or an MRI of the brain. It could be normal. Go see your doctor.

I used a blow dryer on low setting for 2-3 minutes to dry my wet ears (6 inches away). I now hear a ringing sound. It has been 2 days, ringing sound has gotten less but not completely vanished. There is almost no pain. Will the ringing go away?
