Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

This condition is termed as tinnitus. There are multiple causes which could range from as simple as wax in ear, sleep deprivation or severe tension to pathological diseases. Put a drop of mustard oil in both ear and lie down for 15-20mins. take an ear bud and clean your ears. Hope so it will relieve the symptom.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you both good health.
