Hi, and welcome to Psycho Babble. :)
The dangerous side effects of Ritalin would be heart related (high BP and possibility of stroke). Are you using the Sustained Release version? I would continue with 10 mg for a while and see how it goes.
Personally, I cannot take ritalin because it makes me crash hard after it wears off. Adderall XR worked better from me in that respect. Both come with the same side effects warnings.
Don't give up on the Ritalin yet as it may take some getting used to it. If after two weeks you still have ringing in the ears then you should consider changing meds.
Best of luck to you.
Maxime
