Brief Answer:
its a treatable condition.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I see similar cases amongst young people who visit my clinic.Flickering sound in one's ear is a symptom of different conditions.

It is medically known as tinnitus. Some of the causes of tinnitus are loud noises, earwax blockage, and changes in the bones of the inner ear. It may also be due to Meniere's disease, head or neck injury, TMJ disorder, or acoustic neuroma.

I suggest you to to consult an ent surgeon and evaluate with ent exmination,otoscopy,wax removal,audiometry tests and if necessary ct scan brain (plain).

prasenly,you need not to be worried,do not put water or ear drops till the diagnosis made.all ent related disorders are treatable,go ahead.

Wishing you good health.
