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.

When I walk or run I hear a click behind my left ear. Its not a ringing sound and I normally only hear it walking. Noticed it a week ago. When I press on the bone behind my left ear and walk, I dont hear the sound. What could be the cause?

Ringing in ears? I recently separated out of the military and when its all quiet i hear a sound that sounds like a tv is on but with no volume. I don't know if that makes sense but i guess the best way i can think of explaining it is the electronic waves

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?
