HI
Well come to HCM
The ringing sound in the ear called "Tinnitus" and in fact this is not the disease but this has got many underlying cause right from infection to physiological phenomenon due to high pitch sound induced "Tinnitus" and this could be due to too loud sound, some drug may be the cause, but not the antihypertensive drug that you are taking, most of the ringing sound comes around on its own, take care.
