Has this ever happened to you? You’re just going about your day when, all of a sudden, you think of a certain person, and your ears start ringing. Sometimes, it’s so loud that for a few seconds, you swear you’ve gone deaf! I used to get that all the time, and it took me forever to figure out what was really going on.
Spiritual Meaning
Ringing in your ears when you think of someone is a sign that you have a strong psychic or energetic connection with that person. Even if you’re not physically together at the moment, your energies are still linking up spiritually. Chances are they are your twin flame.
Strong bonds with people can show themselves in all sorts of ways, too. For some, it’s just ear ringing when that person pops into their head. But others might feel their face getting hot or start getting a headache for no reason. I even heard that sometimes your eyes will start burning if you’re really close with someone. We’re all wired a little differently, so these things can look different for each person.
They’re Thinking of You Too
It’s very likely that the other person is thinking of you at the same time. Our thoughts have power. When you connect with someone on a deep level, your thoughts of each other can create a psychic link between you. It’s like your souls are communicating even when you’re apart. So if they happen to be thinking of you strongly, it activates your intuition, and bam, you get that ringing in your ears.
It’s your 6th sense trying to get your attention and let you know someone is connecting with you from afar. Of course, if you’re not very in tune with spiritual stuff, it can seem weird or be really loud. But don’t worry, it’s totally normal. Just know that ringing might mean someone out there (you know who it is) is thinking of you fondly in that moment.
An Indicator of Important Messages
The ringing can also indicate that an important message is trying to get through to you from the other person or even the Universe. When you hear it, pay attention to any thoughts or feelings you get. Also look out for weird coincidences or signs around that time, they may help you understand the message.
It’s possible you were thinking too negatively when it started. The universe may be telling you to relax or quiet your mind so you can hear what’s trying to come through.
There’s an old saying in Finland that makes a good point. It goes something like, if you can’t stop worrying about something, stick a toothpick under your toenail and kick the wall. The idea is that nothing is as bad as it seems in your head. When you’re in agony from kicking the wall with that toothpick, you won’t have brain space left for negative thoughts anymore.
Common Superstitions
Ringing In The Right Ear
If your right ear is ringing, some believe it means good fortune is coming your way. In many cultures, The right side is usually associated with positive vibes and optimism. So the ringing could mean you’re about to come into some money, get told about an awesome opportunity, or maybe you’ll get some other good news soon. Now I know what you’re thinking – it’s probably just tinnitus or something logical like that. But even if it’s not really a sign, it can’t hurt to keep a positive attitude.
Ringing In The Left Ear
On the other hand, ringing in the left ear is thought by some to mean bad luck or misfortune may be headed your way. The left side is linked to more negative associations and the ringing could signify trouble in a relationship, financial difficulties, health issues or disappointing news. Again, there are logical reasons for ringing ears not related to superstition, but exercising caution in the days following the ringing left ear may not hurt.
High Pitched Ringing
If you hear a high pitched ringing, it means someone somewhere is saying something bad. I remember my grandma used to tell me that all the time. “Ears ringing, Juli? Better watch your back, sounds like Susie’s running her mouth again.” Of course, as a kid I didn’t know what that really meant. But I’d get so paranoid anytime I heard a ring, thinking all the neighborhood girls must be gossiping.
It does make sense when you think about it. A loud, annoying ringing is a lot like the feeling you get when you know someone’s spreading rumors. And our ears are pretty sensitive – they can pick up all sorts of weird noises and signals even when we’re not aware. So who knows, maybe there is something to it.
My Advice
Pay attention to how you feel when your ears start ringing. It could be telling you something important. Maybe the person you’re thinking about needs your prayers or good vibes sent their way. Or maybe it’s the universe nudging you to give them a call or send them a text. If the ringing feels calming, there’s a good chance they’re thinking warmly of you, too. But if it’s jarring or annoying, you may want to be careful. It could be someone is talking trash about you. Or it could be a warning. Ultimately only you will know what it means though. Go with your inner voice and see where it leads you.
