ear buzzing

Hearing internal sounds

Ear buzzing is a sensation of humming, ringing, or buzzing sound in the ears without an external source.

The term describes the symptom rather than the clinical condition (tinnitus).

It can result from loud noise exposure, ear infections, or other causes: The ear buzzing kept me awake all night.

After the concert, the ear buzzing lasted for hours.
