I regularly experience ringing sounds in my head. The sounds can come and go and happen in both ears.

Abnormal sounds in your head

I notice this more at night time when I am going to sleep and I wonder if I have tinnitus or some type of ear infection.

>>Tinnitus is the name given to the abnormal sounds that can be heard from inside the body. Although most people describe the sound they hear as ‘ringing’, people can experience different sounds — buzzing, hissing or whistling — the sounds can be in one or both ears, constant or some of the time. It is usually caused by ‘feedback’ from within the ear itself, and the noise can be more noticeable when everything is quiet, such as in bed at night when there is no background noise to distract you. Less commonly it can arise from an actual noise such as blood flowing.
