What Does It Mean When Your Ears Ring or Burn?

Last updated by Susan Taylor

I was often told that when my nose tickled and itched, that someone wanted to kiss me. So, following that logic, why wouldn’t ear whistling and burning have its own meaning too? It is said that having this sensation in your ears is a sign that someone close to us is saying bad things about us, but is that really the case, or is there more to it than that?

Why do our ears ring and feel hot?

Having what we call burning ears is a very popular expression that means people are saying bad things about us, and this expression does not come out of nowhere. The first allusions to burning ears go back even to antiquity. This expression comes from the belief that one could derive omens from whistling ears.

If it is your left ear that whistles or burns:

If the whistling comes from the side of the heart, therefore from the left side, it is because we are being spoken about in a good way. Someone is singing our praises, and telling people how much they love us; in short, our qualities are being evoked. It is also a sign that imminent danger may be coming, so be on your guard!

If it's the right ear that whistles or burns:

If these sensations occur in your right ear, then someone is in fact talking badly about you. Someone is probably criticizing you and saying insulting things behind your back. It may also in fact be a sign of jealousy too. So, don't worry too much about what people may say about you, they are probably fueled by this envy towards you.

What happens if you often experience this feeling?

Multiple physical causes can cause this temporary or continuous ringing in the ears. This is why, if you often have ringing in your ears, do not hesitate to consult a doctor or an ENT specialist who can treat tinnitus, which can sometimes cause insomnia, difficulty concentrating or irritability.

In short, in the majority of cases, it’s not a pleasant experience and can bring about bad omens. It is definitely one of the body's pains and ailments that we could do without!

Susan Taylor’s insights: A strong message

Other beliefs make a difference whether the whistling is in the left or right ear. What is certain is that the angels are trying to communicate with you. When the ringing occurs in the left ear, it is a warning to you. The spirit world is trying to warn you about certain things that are going to happen. The superstition of the ringing in the right ear is that it is a bad omen. It is a sign that something bad is about to happen to you. You need to be vigilant.
