Although commonly labeled “buzzing ear”, the medical term for this condition is Tinnitus.

An individual is said to have Tinnitus if the sounds they hear have no outside cause and go on for some time. You might have a buzzing ear or hear the buzzing in both ears. Apart from a buzzing ear, Tinnitus sufferers generally hear several different sounds in the ear, like ringing, clicking, waterfall-like sounds, whistling, hissing, roaring and more. From time to time, you may have a buzzing ear at times and hear whistling on another occasion!
