Ear buzzing sound.
My ear has been making a sound like air passing through it for the past month. I had a cold before
two weeks, but now the cold is over, and the ear fluttering still persists.

Hello I'm Dr Nikita Iyer. The feeling of air passing through the ear could either be due to a dysfunction in the tube connecting the nose and ear called the eustachian tube. This could be exacerbated by an episode of cold causing a pressure difference inside the ear.
Next Steps
I would suggest visiting an ENT doctor to get an examination of the eardrum.

Get checked with an ENT specialist to examine your ear first. If all looks okay, you might be experiencing something called as "tinnitus" for which you might need an audiometry test to exclude the possible causes and receive further treatment based on that
