I’ve been experiencing this for nearly two and a half years. It’s a constant presence, though it occasionally spikes without any clear trigger. I’ve mostly adapted to it by now. I’m aware of some of the spiritual interpretations, but I’m curious to learn more. Also, I have seen doctors three separate times to check for medical issues, and they’ve confirmed my ears are in perfect health.

Yes, this suggests you have clairaudient abilities. It means you’re sensitive to energy frequencies; with some effort, you might even be able to hear spirits. 
The entire physical world is built on vibration. If you can achieve enough stillness, you’ll realize that ‘silence’ doesn’t actually exist.
I do, and because I produce music, my hearing is very finely tuned. It actually makes watching some TV shows difficult because I pick up on frequencies that no one else notices.
Yes, everyone claims it’s just tinnitus. It’s very inconsistent, though—sometimes it’s loud, other times it’s barely noticeable, and it can last for days or just a few hours. Occasionally, it’s a very sharp, stabbing sensation. There are times my hearing seems to cut out, but if I plug my right ear, I can hear fine. There’s also the issue of hearing random voices, which I’m fairly certain isn’t tinnitus-related. I’m not schizophrenic, though. This all started just a few months ago. I deal with sleep paralysis and exploding head syndrome, so I suspect the ‘voices’ are hypnagogic, but they only occur when the ringing is loud and constant. I’ve always been very sensitive to noise and get easily frustrated by electronic sounds, so maybe this is just a natural progression for me lol
Hello! There are many potential causes for ear ringing, some of which require an audiologist to identify and treat. If you’ve only consulted a GP, you should ask for a referral to a specialist. For example, things like ear eczema or post-viral blockages can cause ringing. I’ve had ear eczema since I was a kid; it was constantly painful and itchy until an audiologist treated it with a specific cream. It was a huge relief and significantly lowered the ringing. I had seen GPs my whole life who never caught it. GPs aren’t specifically trained for hearing issues. Tinnitus is usually diagnosed based on the patient’s description of the sound. They can check for associated hearing loss, but if none is found, there isn’t much they can do. Spending a lot of time in loud environments is a primary cause of gradual hearing loss and tinnitus. Constant noise should be kept under 70 decibels, and sudden sounds over 120 decibels can cause immediate damage. It’s also possible you’re hearing low-frequency sounds in your environment, like those from wind farms or electrical grids. I hear those myself. You can find more details on WebMD regarding tinnitus causes. My point is that it’s very rare for ear ringing to be a spiritual event. If it were, you’d likely see other spiritual signs along with it. If you’ve ruled everything else out and believe it’s spiritual, I’d suggest meditating on it to find the meaning, though that could take years. Don’t rely too heavily on these things for life guidance, as humans aren’t great at interpreting them. For instance, many religious conflicts stem from people following visions that might be misinterpreted. Visions are symbolic, and it’s hard to know if you’re understanding them correctly. I sometimes smell soap when no one is around; like sounds, these sensory things aren’t very useful for practical advice. It can take a lifetime to decode spiritual messages, and by the time you think you have, things might have changed anyway. A Buddhist monk might be a good person to talk to. For those with high spiritual awareness, these anomalies do happen, and a monk could help you understand their utility. Usually, they’re just a distraction from being present in your life. Hope this helps a bit.
