Hello. Yes, I have ringing in my ears or tinnitus. I am not a medical doctor or anything related to the health fields. I have a desktop computer that has several small fans running at all times inside the computer tower. The fans are on at all times keeping the computer cool. I wouldn’t say they are very loud in my opinion, just a low decibel sound. The computer tower is about 3 feet from my head resting on the floor. For the best way to explain, it would be like a low or low power vacuum cleaner running in the next room with my door open to the next room. I have seen the common decibel chart used for hearing called the "Decibel (Loudness) Comparison Chart". There are a lot of these charts out there to look at. I couldn’t guess the decibel range because I don’t know exactly where to assume the sound level would be without proper equipment. I would be shooting in the dark. It is just strange that the ear that is the loudest ringing is the ear facing my computer tower. Also, I am many hours a day on my computer as well.

I am not asking you to diagnose me or provide a clinical evaluation as a health care professional, I am just asking if ear ringing in your opinion can be caused under my circumstances.

Thank you!
