Detailed Answer:
Hii. It's evident from your symptoms that you are having allergic rhinitis that is inflammation of the sinuses and nose. Due to this your left eustachian tube may be getting blocked. This may cause constant ringing in the ear. You can start nasal fluticasone spray, steam inhalation, antiallergic tablet levocetrizine. This will decrease inflammation of your sinuses and will open the eustachian block. You should also do a hearing test and nasal endoscopy to know exact hearing status and condition of your nose.
