![]() | Response from Dr. HenryHissing in ear (or ringing) is often called tinnitus. That condition is often seen in the general population. Nerve damage/irritation, nasal allergies that alter fluid drainage from middle ear, ear was build-up, exposure to loud sounds, use of in ear headphone and many other factors can cause the condition. A good ear /ENT exam is recommended if persistent. I have seen a few patients where it seemed to be triggered by an HIV drug (lamivudine/emtricibine in a few cases) but that is out of thousands of patients that have taken those drugs in our clinic so overall risk from HIV drugs is very low.
