1 When the bones of the middle ear do not vibrate and become stiff, it can give rise to a hissing and vibrating sound in the ears. 2  Rupture of ear drum either due to trauma or due to loud sound can cause vibration in the ear during the initial stage. 3  Infection in the ear, cold and sinusitis can also cause vibration.

The noise causes permanent damage to the sound-sensitive cells of the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear.
