Ear blockage and subsequent ringing

Question

Asked for Male, 31 Years

Felt blockage in my left ear yesterday after showering and was advised to use clearwax eardrops for treatment. Now ear feels clear but I can hear a mild ringing which is very apparent when surroundings are quiet. Is this normal? And how long will this persist?
