I can't ever remember a time when I didn't hear a slight ringing in my ears. It's not that loud, and normally can only hear it when I'm either paying attention to it, or it's very quiet all around me. Just wondering: does everyone experience this?

It's called tinnitus and no most people do not have this. You can get some help from doctors but most people just live with it though it's hard for some. William Shatner is someone who has it bad.

I don't know who many people have it but most experience at some point in their lives. I do know that when you hear it, once it stops you won't hear that frequency ever again. Your hearing changes as you get old and usually it happens to people who listen to music too loud, i.e. in the car or head phones, or if you shoot guns without some sort of protection for your ears.

My husband has it, and it has gotten worse. He is being evaluated by a specialist to see what kind of treatment they can give him. There is no cure, but sometimes surgery can be performed to do something with the inner ear.

Like everyone else said, it is tinnitus. You can go to an ENT or Audiologist to get help.
