Constant ringing in left ear

2018-04-07 22:06:47
I'm almost on day 3 of a constant ringing in my left ear. Mostly it's enough to just be annoying but occasionally it'll get to the point louder noises can cause tenderness. I've had a off and on headache along with it that's pretty mild. I'm a 23 year male.

You seem to be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold and it is a common cause for acute onset of tinnitus and ear pain. Usually it will resolve on its own. You may need to take decongestant medicines for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
