? tinnitus: You may be describing tinnitus (constant ringing in ears) please have a thorough physical with blood pressure check. Any history of chronic Aspirin use or other chronic med usage--any history of loud noise exposure--certain foods--coffee or alcoholic beverages may make worse. Sometimes this condition is also worsened when tired. Some high frequency hearing loss may be associated. See ENT dr.

Tinnitus is not a: Symptom of menopause but a very common condition caused by exposure to noise through the years, infection in the middle ear, aging or rarely tumor in the ear or brain. Seek medical help especially if it worsens or accompanied by vertigo, hearing loss, headache etc. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/mobileart.asp?articlekey=496&page=3.
