Hi
More details are needed like how exactly is that noise- whistling, humming etc. and is it continuous or intermittent, one ear or both, whether you have any hearing impairment, any giddiness(dizziness), any nose or throat problems, any high BP, taking any long term medicines, whether you are anaemic, your age etc.
Moreover you need to be examined, in an attempt to find the cause of your ringing in ears. So you better consult a good ENT specialist for this.
Please note that in some patients no cause may be detected. But many benefit with empirical medicines or tinnitus masker etc
Take care.
