Question: Ringing in head, not ears. What would be the cause?

Answer:

I think a hearing teat is a really good idea. Even though the ringing seems to be in your head rather than your ears, such symptoms are often related to hearing. The most common cause is just aging.

Good luck,
John Claude Krusz
