The best characterization is that ringing in the ears is an indication of a possible issue in the inner ear or auditory system. Is ringing in the ears a disease? No. Ringing in the ears is believed to have many possible causes or contributing factors but it is not a disease. In some cases occupational exposure to loud noises is directly related to ringing in the ears. In other cases certain medications (including aspirin and ibuprofen) are thought to initiate or exacerbate tinnitus. In still other cases none of these factors is present, but ringing in the ears still occurs. Ringing in the ears is sometimes associated with impacted cerumen (ear wax) or other symptoms of inner ear disturbance such as dizziness or vertigo.
Often, it indicates that you have damage to the little hairs inside your ears and they are giving off random signals, which your brain interprets as sound. High blood pressure, high blood sugar or abnormalities in the little bones inside your ear may be a root cause of ear ringing.
