Ringing in ears whenever it’s too quiet and/or silent?

Question

I’ve lived my whole life, for as long as I can remember, hearing a ringing in my ears whenever it’s silent, or too quiet, and it’s just now come to my attention that this might not be normal. It’s like a high pitched ringing noise.

If you’ve seen that one scene in the hunger games where Katniss blows up the careers supplies and her ear’s ringing, it sounds like that. Might be tinnitus, not sure.

It's certainly tinnitus, and there's no cure.

However, my husband has it, and he's found that a white noise machine is helpful.

As you suggest, it may be tinnitus. Sometimes ringing in the ears is brought on by high blood pressure. So get your blood pressure checked if you have not already done so!
