A member asked:

I had a ear infection along with a high pitched noise in that ear the infection is gone but not the noise. when will it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The sound in your ear might be tinnitus which is a ringing or strange sound. This is largely due to your ear infection. If no better in a week after being treated for your infection then you should see an Ear Nose Throat Specialist.
