Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have tinitus , hearing loss this is not related to cavity in wisdom tooth .
Due to cavity there can be refered pain in ear , but this tinitus and hearing loss can be due to ear problem for this you should consult ENT surgeon and go for its treatment .
For cavity in wisdom tooth you should consult dentist and go for IOPA xray of tooth if possible go for restoration of tooth or extraction of wisdom tooth.
In meantime do like warm saline rinses , you can take analgesic for pain like Paintol or Paracetamol by consulting with your local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
