ELI5:Why do our ears "ring"

It can be from being at a loud concert too shooting a gun or just sitting in a quiet room what makes us hear the ringing sound in our head?

You can hear because sound waves travel down the ear canal and vibrate the tympanic membrane (ear drum), which in turn transfers this vibration to the cochlea, which moves a fluid called perilymph. When perilymph moves around, it moves very sensitive hair cells that then send the signal to the brain. When you are exposed to loud sounds for a long time, like when you are at a concert, the perilymph is in constant motion, which basically flattens the hair cells. The brain then interprets this is a ringing sound. When the hair cells revert back to their original state, then the ringing disappears, and your hearing returns.
