A member asked:
Usually how long can tinnitus last from an ear infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can vary: Tinnitus arises from wear and tear of the hearing system. It can be made more conspicuous with hearing loss related to an ear infection. Sometimes, when hearing returns to baseline, it will become less conspicuous. Other times, it stays forever.
