Ringing in ears

2017-11-29 00:28:17
I have ringing in my ears but I went to the doctors and he said that my hearing and my eardrum was fine from the audiogram... what could be the cause? I have been in a lot of stress and lack of sleep so I drink a lot of coffee. H e prescribed meds which helped but the ringing got worse the past 3 days when I was working without proper sleep.
