How Can Tinnitus In The Left Ear Be Treated After Recovering From Ear Infection In The Right Ear?

I have been hearing robotic noises in my left ear for about a week now. I ve went to my family doctor and he prescribed me on some antibiotics since apparently my right ear had an ear infection. Unfortunately the antibiotics aren t doing anything to fix this noise problem and I really don t want to have to deal with this for the rest of my life. What can I do to get my normal hearing back?

Answer:
Hello,

The noises in your left ear might be caused from the ear infection.
You have to take the antibiotics prescribed by your doctor, complete the treatment and than make another consultation to evaluate if there is more infection. Commonly, the pain subsides after treating the ear infection.
If tinnitus doesn't improve, I suggest you to consult an otolaryngologist.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
