What is the more common way to say "you're welcome" in French: “De rien” or “Pas de problème”?

“De rien” is not correct although it is often heard. Avoid it. It should be “Ce n’est rien”.

“ je t’en prie/ je vous en prie” .It is polite.

“c’est un plaisir” or “avec plaisir” “c’est mon plaisir” is polite.

Can ringing in the ears be a sign of spiritual awakening?

“Il n’y a pas de quoi” . It is friendly and can be slightly familiar but it’s informal and acceptable.

French etiquette simply would advise you not to answer.

“Pas de problème” is common and sounds uneducated. It’s often used though.
