Most commonly damage to the outer hair cells of the cochlea from noise exposure. Numerous other causations.
Is the ringing sound in both ears or one ear? The ringing sound could be due to some change in your hearing. The first step would be to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor and get a hearing test. Do you have any hearing loss in your family? You could have some inflammatory condition affecting your ears which could contribute to ringing sounds because that increases blood flow, and increased blood flow or inflammation can cause ringing.
