A member asked:
So every once in a while i get a ringing in my right ear and when i was about 3-4 years old my right eardrum burst after an unnoticed ear infection (high pain tolerance since birth) and was wondering how to get it to stop. i'm 6" and 124 lbs?

I don't think a middle ear infection you had 15 years ago has anything to do with occasional ringing in your ears. If it bothers you enough to have it evaluated, write down a timeline with symptoms, frequency and other related factors and take that list with you so you don't forget any important factor.
