Hello, Thank you for writing HCM.
The buzzing sound/ringing sound in the ear, medical terminology "tinnitus" can be caused due to infection/nerve weakness/ idiopathic (unknown).
I advise you to visit an Audiologist and ENT, get these tests done to evaluate tinnitus and for appropriate treatment.
1. Puretone audiometry and Impedance audiometry
2. Otoscopy/ x-ray.
All the best.
