Ringing in My Left Ear

Dear Ask The Doctor: I'm 19 years old and last night i got this ringing in my left ear when i got home and i don't know what it is, i hope its not permanent and i don't have to wear any hearing aides.

Dear Kelsey: Hello Kelsey, if you notice that it doesn't get better on its own within the next 24 hours, make sure and visit your doctor to get it checked out.
