Why Have I Got Ear Ringing Noise? Tinnitus can make you depressed.

Ear ringing is a common problem for many people. There are many causes for ear ringing noise. One of the commonest is exposure to loud noise.

If you're lucky this will be temporary but if exposure is prolonged or severe then the damage may be permanent.
