Brief Answer:
Suggestive of tinnitus

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and they are suggestive of tinnitus. This generally occurs with an ear-related problem.

If there are no other symptoms such as hearing impairment or dizziness, then, there is no need to worry. It would settle down soon.

However, if the symptoms are troubling you, you may take medications such as betahistine tablets or clonazepam tablets for a few days.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
