Hello,
It is known medically as tinnitus and is the perception of a sound in the head or ears. There are many medical underlying conditions that may cause tinnitus such as ear apparatus diseases, neurological conditions, adverse effects of drugs, etc. An evaluation by an ENT Doctor may give further information about the cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
