Hi,

In the medical terminology this is called tinnitus. It happens in various conditions of the ear such as eustachian tube block, fluid inside the middle ear, variations of pressure inside the middle ear, middle ear infections, weakness of the auditory nerves, working in a noisy environment, etc. What you are experiencing can be a mild eustachian tube dysfunction causing tinnitus. No need to worry about this at present, if the symptoms worsen please do consult a good ENT specialist.

Regards
Dr. Naveen Kumar
