Tinnitus is the name for the very common "ringing in the ears" head noises. Tinnitus may come and go, or you may be aware of a continuous sound. The noise can vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal or whine, and it may be heard in one or both ears. When the ringing is constant, it can be annoying and distracting.
