Hi.This is called a Tinnitus. This can be due to various reasons like Acoustic trauma, Chronic Secretory Otitis Media, Neuritis of the Vestibulo-cochear nerve, inflammation of the vestibule, Caner like growths near the middle ear. He needs to be fully investigated with CT can and MRI of the brain and mastoids to find the primary cause. If the history and findings are negative an opinion of the Psychiatrist can be sought.
