How can I stop this ringing in my ears?

I get a lot of ringing or weird echoing noises in my ears whenever it is quiet. I usually just turn on my MP3, but I'd like to know if there is a way to halt this. I listen to the music at normal volume, I don't blast it in my ears.

Answer:
That's one sign of low level hearing damage/loss. At some time, have you gone past the decibel limit, either in a vehicle with a too-loud radio/bass, or a live concert or club?

Alternatively, is you’re taking any aspirin or aspirin-containing analgesic, it might cause ringing ears.

Answer:
The cause of ringing or other noise in the ear, called tinnitus, often can't be determined. Tinnitus can result from nearly any ear disorder, such as impacted earwax or infection. It can also be a symptom of anemia, cardiovascular disease, or Meniere's disease. Tinnitus is often associated with hearing loss. Treating the underlying disorder, if one can be found, may stop the noise. If not, you can cover up the noise by playing back ground music or using a tinnitus masker, which is worn like a hearing aid and makes a whining sound. Alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, and loud noises may aggravate tinnitus in some people. And good luck.

Answer:
I sympathize, I know how that feels, I get a high pitched whistle all the time, and had it for a great many years.
You could try buying ear drops, it may just be a build up of wax, I bought a Chinese one that’s specially for that problem.
it's called “OTOSAN” it was more expensive than others
