No it's tennitus. I have had a ringing in my ears for a couple weeks. Because the military medical center didn't have any appointments, I went to a German "ear" doctor. He spoke perfect english. The German Doc checked my ears and sent me to have a hearing test (just down the hall from his office). I have an inter ear infection, tennitus and some hearing lost.
The Doc gave me a perscription for the infection and to help with the ringing. Had to have it filled by a German pharmacy as the Medical center won't accept a perscription with even one word of German on it.
As for the hearing lost, guess that goes with getting older.
