endaural

Endaural phenomena are sounds that are heard without any external acoustic stimulation.

Endaural phenomena also need to be distinguished from auditory hallucinations, which are associated with psychosis.

Endaural phenomena need to be distinguished from otoacoustic emissions, in which a person's ear emits sounds.

Endaural means "in the ear".

In hearing, ringing is an endaural phenomenon in which a person hears a sound, somewhat like a pure tone, without any external acoustic stimulation.
