Brief Answer: get audiological test and treat. Detailed Answer: Hi sir, your having tinnitus or ringing sensation in ear. There aremany reason for having tinnitus. Commonest is wax , next is middle ear infection, or eustachian catarrh. Other commonest is inner ear disease. Both conditions, can be detected by audiologjcal test.
