Hello,
I can understand your concern. Here is the advice.
As per your history, ear ringing i. e. tinnitus may be due to age related hearing loss or trauma.
Please let me know your age. Do you have history of trauma or injury to ear, dizziness, headache, fever, hearing loss? Kindly follow up with detailed history.
For that you may require detailed medical examination and evaluation by ENT specialist.

Brief Answer:
May be age related. Get evaluated by neurologist also.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
I think it may be due to age. As age progresses inner ear cells become more sensitive to sound. So avoid loud sound.
Some studies say that it may be due to epilepsy and hydrocephalus, but chances are less if you are on regular treatment. Kindly get evaluated with detailed medical examination by neurologist.
