See your doctor.: Doctors can help by providing adequate treatment, usually antibiotics if there is an infection. If it's multiple infections you might get referral for ENT specialist. Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen are adequate OTCs for pain control. See doc to get stronger pain controlling medications and further treatment. As infection improves, ringing should decrease.

Tinnitus: Its not unusual for one to experience some ringing or dizziness with a middle ear infection. This should be treated promptly and you can expect the other symptoms to resolve quickly. If tinnitus, persists, it may indicate Sensorineural (nerve) injury or inflammation. You should ask for an ENT referral for an audiometric exam if the tinnitus persists after the ear infection is resolved.
