1 When the bones of the middle ear do not vibrate and become stiff, it can give rise to a hissing and vibrating sound in the ears. 2  Rupture of ear drum either due to trauma or due to loud sound can cause vibration in the ear during the initial stage. 3  Infection in the ear, cold and sinusitis can also cause vibration.
Tinnitus (pronounced ti-ni-tis), or ringing in the ears, is the sensation of hearing ringing, buzzing, hissing, chirping, whistling, or other sounds. The noise can be intermittent or continuous, and can vary in loudness. It is often worse when background noise is low, so you may be most aware of it at night when you're trying to fall asleep in a quiet room. In rare cases, the sound beats in sync with your heart (pulsatile tinnitus). Tinnitus is very common, affecting an estimated 50 million adults in the U.S. For most people, the condition is merely an annoyance. In severe cases, however, tinnitus can cause people to have difficulty concentrating and sleeping.
