Q: is ringing in one ear serious?

: Tinnitus without sudden onset, hearing impairment and vertigo isn't necessarily serious. Nevertheless in view of your young age, you might consider having an evaluation by an ENT specialist. Even nonserious types of tinnitus can occur in one ear but in my experience I usually see this in older people and in men more than women
