Severe tinnitus can be due to an inner ear disorder but hearing tests would indicate this. If the ear is ok, the next possibility is that you might be experiencing voice hallucinations. Voice hallucinations can be due to epilepsy or a psychotic disorder. You can request an EEG and consult a neurologist and/or a mental health professional.
