A 40-year-old male asked:

Do i have tinnitus? often i get a noise in my ears, but it is a low "wa wa" sound that reverberates when other people talk,not a high pitched ringing.

You may have: tinnitus however your symptoms are more consistent with wax build up in the ears. Have your health care provider clean out your ears or use a product like Debrox at home.

Dog started barking tonight. Every time he did, my ear would ring. Tinnitus sufferer already. Now when I talk I get a ringing/beep in ear or if I hear certain noises it happens. This came out of nowhere! I have tmj too. Never experienced this before?
