So, we have all these little bones in our ears. The bones are suspended in a fluid and rub up against small hairs that interpret the vibration as sound. What you’re describing, Tinnitus, is your brain interpreting random signals as noise. Numerous conditions can cause this to happen, but some people have a continuous Tinnitus underneath their hearing spectrum, and others will have random episodes caused by blood pressure, concussions, loud noises, physical pressure, etc.
