Hi I have had a faint ringing in my ears for years and was mostly noticeable at night when I was trying to sleep. I use to listen to ipods a lot sometimes pretty loud. I also have TMJ. A couple of nights ago I was watching tv before bed and suddenly the ringing in my ears got louder than normal and is now more annoying and noticeable then it use to be. Its been like this for a couple days now. I notice it mostly when its quiet even during the day now. Its making me anxious and worrying me. Is the ringing going to subside and go back down to normal?? If so how long do flare ups lie this usually last?? Its like a fuzzy faint ringing is how I describe it. Please help.
