tinnitus is a ringing in your ear.
It occurs usually because there is some degree of hearing loss that the brain is experiencing. Even the smallest amounts of hearing loss (sensorineural or conductive, can cause some ringing or tinnitus. Get a hearing test, an audiogram.

Tinnitus is the sensation of ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds in the ears. For most people, Tinnitus doesn’t escalate to anything more than an annoyance and inconvenience.
There are many causes of Tinnitus from earwax buildup to eardrum damage and many more. Therefore, treatment varies based on the cause. It’s best to consult an Audiologist or Otolaryngologist (ENT).

The simple answer is emission of discharges from damaged over hair cells in the cochlear in a majority of cases. Many causations for tinnitus, most are benign. See ENT for evaluation and audiogram. Use ear protection when exposed to loud noise. Many younger individuals have tinnitus related to loud noise from music
