Hello ive been suffering from tinnitus for months on my left ear only i finally got a ct scan of my sinuses and they told me i have a blockage and inflammation especially on my left ear but i have no congestion could this be causing the ringing?

Yes, it is possible that the blockage and inflammation in your sinuses, particularly on your left side, could be contributing to the tinnitus (ringing) in your left ear. Other potential causes include exposure to loud noises, ear infections, certain meds, and underlying medical conditions. See an (ENT) specialist or audiologist to help determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate plan
