My hearing is perfect. Even with the ringing in my ears. I can still hear stuff from long distances most people can't hear.

that's what tinnitus is like

it is there
every day
of every hour
never dulling
never a silence
for the rest of your hours

....unless you're deaf

Might be a real issue that could kill you. Might have been from urban exploring.

I caught a cold from someone at walmart which ended up clogging my right ear. Then when that went away my ear never stopped ringing.

Could just be water.

I can't find anything for tinnitus in 1 ear. All of them are tinnitus in both ears.

You might be going blind. I would suggest that you should probably go to an eye doctor.

I thought having a ringing in your ears was something everyone experienced, I've been listening to it as far back as I can remember. Though I did have tons of sinus infections as a kid...

what the hell
no
no it is not
you are sick

If it isn't permanent tinnitus there's a few things some specialists might be able to do like some sort of fluid removal.
Sometimes your jaw bone being out of place can give you tinnitus too, but I'd think that'd be both ears.

Well when I was sick I did two things I shouldn't do.

I was jamming the q-tip in my ear out of frustration with the annoying pressure sensation, I did not pop an ear drum though.

I also kept trying way too hard to blow my nose or pop my ears.

Even with all that information my doctor still doesn't know the cause.

Mine ring on occasion. Once it rang and my left ear lost hearing for about 10 minutes

Yeah on the left ear but it's the right ear that is ringing, lol.

I told that to my doctor and he said well it's obviously not headphones. Then asked me if I shoot guns and if I'm right or left handed. I said right handed and he said the gun would only affect the left ear then. So it's obviously not shooting either.

I'd schedule an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor.

This is the correct answer.
If you don't feel like your GP is doing enough, then arrange an appointment with a specialist.

Also, it can still be tinnitus if it is in just one ear.

Tinnitus can be either constant or come and go. It can vary in loudness and character from time to time. You can hear the noise or noises in one ear, in both ears, or it may be difficult to pinpoint where the noise seems to come from.

Head injuries or neck injuries. Head or neck trauma can affect the inner ear, hearing nerves or brain function linked to hearing. Such injuries generally cause tinnitus in only one ear.

Acoustic neuroma. This noncancerous (benign) tumor develops on the cranial nerve that runs from your brain to your inner ear and controls balance and hearing. Also called vestibular schwannoma, this condition generally causes tinnitus in only one ear.

Malformation of capillaries. A condition called arteriovenous malformation (AVM), abnormal connections between arteries and veins, can result in tinnitus. This type of tinnitus generally occurs in only one ear.
