Brief Answer:
tinnitus for evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
You are having tinnitus, that is ringing in ears.
This can be because of many reasons, like viral infection, ear infection, trauma, Vascular lesions of the brain, infarct to the hearingnerve etc.
More so it is because of ischaemia to the hearing nerve.
Cause is idiopathic.
Investigation would be audiogram, tympanometry.
Treatment is ginkobiloba extract tablet 40 mg twice daily for 3 months.
Anti oxidant tablets, nerve vitalizer tablet and betahistine tablet 16 to 24 mg twice daily for 3 weeks. You can discuss about these medications with your doctor.
None of the doctor can assure 100% cure for this. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.

But i think it is due to the medications that i am taking can i have some test in ear or chemical test for ensuring it is due to medication i am taking for anxiety as it has been listed as one of the side effect.
it will be good to hear from a psychiatrist as i did not have any cold or anything which can cause tinnitus and these pills earlier also brought ring in my ear but then my psychiatrist stopped some pills and ring stopped.
i am a software engineer and with this noise i am unable to concentrate and my performance has declined a lot please help me otherwise it will destroy my career .
i just got married this month so a lot of responsibilities please help me any how.
