Hi First of all never try to pop your ear when u have cold as it can cause too much pressure on the ear drum Usually even after the cold subsides blockage of the ear takes time to come down When there is blockage of ear there is always a change for the tinnitus to be aggravated
Next Steps
Kindly consult for further evaluation and treatment
