Ive been experiencing this annoying beep noise in my left ear for quite some time now. It gets more noticeable when Im in a quiet place and seems to disappear when theres a lot of noise around me. The doctor mentioned it might be tinnitus and gave me some meds, but they dont seem to be working. Could it really be tinnitus, or might it be something else?
