Ringing on one ear

Asked for Female, 26 Years

Since last few days i hear a ringing sound on one ear when there's silence or when i block my ear with my finger. I have a habit of using earbuds in one ear and having been using like that since months but i keep the volume moderate. Now i feel heaviness and ringing sound in that ear. Is it something serious?
