Suffering From Ringing Ear. All Medical Test Normal. Started Feeling Dizzy. Stress Related Problem?

I have gone through your medical history and after thinking deeply about developments from time to time, it is clear that you are probably having viral labyrinthitis. This is a self-limiting condition and has spontaneous recovery.
As your recovery is well because you are not dizzy, hearing well only slight tinnitus is left. Recently you make air travel without much discomfort except ear blocked which cleared by chewing and yawing that is a normal finding.
Now you are having only light ringing sound only at silent atmosphere as bedtime and early morning, this favors good recovery.
Regarding your queries, I would like to tell you-
(1) What is going on my ear: Sir, you are in recovery phase, it takes 6 weeks to 6 months
(2) Can it be stress related: Yes
(3) How long the viral infection last: Viral ear infection last for 10 to 15 days only but residual defect takes 6 weeks to 6 months for recovery, this process is spontaneous, medical treatment is only a supportive measure.
(4) Is this infection can pass to some other member of family: Incubation period (period of contamination) had passed, so do not worry.
Hope your queries are now clear. Let me know if I can help you further.
With Regards.
