Ringing in left ear

2017-07-15 01:27:47
I was taking a run 3 days ago. Had headphones on. When I was done, my left ear felt like it was underwater. The hearing was impaired but no ringing. Then I used earwax removal drops and the ringing started. It has stopped the last 3 days. What's going on? Is it permanent?
