General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to 'Ask a Doctor' service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If ringing sound in your ears is not continuous or rather happened just once or twice you need not be worried about it. It may be because of cold environment and if you catch flu, ear filled with wax, and it is sometimes psychological too as we concentrate too much about it.

There are other causes which causes ringing in ears (tinnitus) but if you had such experience once or twice you should not worry about them. If your problem persists you need to have ear examination done to rule out other causes which can be cured easily. Please do not worry, you shall be fine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
