Constant ringing in my ear

    One night last week, I noticed that I kind of have this small ringing in my left ear. I thought it was probably some of the higher frequency noise that the stereos I use for alarm produced. I found it odd that I only seem to have it in my left ear.
    Sure enough, this morning after I woke up and turned the stereo alarm off, I could detect the high yet quiet ringing in my left ear. I held my breath and everything I was doing then listened. To my fear, that brief moment wasn't silent.
   This newest noticed symptom had million things rushing into my mind. Should I tell anyone? My mom is the most concerned among the people who knows of my current ear problem. She ask me if I have anything weird to my ear on a daily basis. I feel like I should tell her at least, given that she is the one who loves me the most and cares about me the most.
    Yet, I am hesitant, she can't do anything for me. Prayer is the only thing she could do for my situation. No matter what, I'll have to wait till August 24th to do the hearing test for the specialist to do anything for me. Before that, all we could do is wait, or at best, find another specialist to take care of my ear.
    Not worth it worrying her or any others. I feel embarrassed enough that almost all the uncles and aunts at church are aware of my ear problem. Mom can't keep secrets. I do need prayers, so this is good. I just tend to like to cover these things up.
    I'll keep observing and researching, hopefully my ear is just acting funny because of my funky daily routine.
