Symptom #10: Ringing In The Ears

If you experience ringing or a buzz sound in one or both ears, it could mean that you have a middle ear infection. These sounds occur due to the fluid that collects within the middle ear, which leads to increase in pressure. This affects the way the eardrum works. It can cause the eardrum to become more sensitive to movement and to sound because any small movement or sound causes an exaggerated vibration of the eardrum.

Because sounds are everywhere around us, it is impossible to avoid a ringing or buzzing in the ears if you have an infection. However, this ringing or buzzing may come and go or be more pronounced at different times of the day. Because this condition can affect your hearing significantly, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
