You most likely have Tinnitus... the hair cells in your ears have been damaged or broken and they are now transmiting sound that is not in exsistence. This si caused by long and/orshort term exposure to loud noises... perhaps to many loud bars and/or clubs. It is very annoying and unfortenitly there is no cure. It is said thats why VanGogh cut off his ear... Possiblly check with your doctor to make sure its not an ear infection....

Tired and weak ? Do you have allergies ? How about your sleep --- sleeping well ? Refreshed when you wake up in the morning ?

If you are using head phones or a hands free unit PLEASE STOP NOW.  
They could be damaging your hearing.  

My father had ringing in his ear ever since he left the air force.  He was told the noise from the airplanes damaged his hearing.  For years doctors told him it was tinnitus and there was nothing that could be done about it.  

Last year I found a hearing lost study and suggested he participate in it and he did.  They fitted him with a hearing aid and so far he is really happy with the results.

Do you or have you listened to loud music with or w/o ear phones ,plugs?  It could be a sign of slight hearing loss or that you have had too much tylenol type products.  You should see an Ear nose & throat doctor first to have him check for foreign bodies in your ears and have them do a hearing test. Also check your medicines for the ingredient in tylenol. google your symptoms to see if you match anything else.  Good luck
