“I hear constant ringing in my left ear?”
I am a 28 year old female and I have heard varying ringing sounds in my ear lately. It is very distracting and happens out of nowhere. What could this be?

There could be various reasons you are experiencing tinnitus (ringing) in your left ear. Are you experiencing any decrease in hearing sensitivity? We recommend you have a full hearing examination with an Audiologist for further evaluation and possible treatment options.
Could just be wax blocking the canal or it could be a side effect of a hearing loss. I recommend you see an audiologist for an evaluation of the ear and a comprehensive hearing test. Angela R.

Well, if it comes and goes and only last seconds to a couple minutes, that's pretty normal. Everyone gets that. If it's constant (doesn't go away) and you've had it for a while, could be tinnitus. You could get your hearing checked. Any noise exposure lately? Change in medication or diet? Stress levels? Those can all cause or contribute to tinnitus.
