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?

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. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone
