Tinnitus (ringing of ears) can be because of many reasons . One usually experiences tinnitus in case of respiratory tract infection , usually when nose is blocked. Also tinnitus can be due to high blood pressure. As your father's condition is related to respiratory tract infection and blood pressure (assuming that he has high blood pressure) , tinnitus can be because of one of these two reasons.
