Get check up: Tinnitus (buzzing) is sensation in the ear, that might relate to the chronic ear infection which you have. In the absence of proper treatment and doctor's follow up you may end up with having serious complications, such as inflammations around the brain, bone, cysts, deafness, facial weakness, etc. Overcome your fear, get the doctor's check up & treatment.
