Ent told me I have an infection. What does that mean for my tinnitus?

Went to an Ent a few hours ago. He told me I have some sort of infection and prescribed antibiotics. I went to him for the first time 5 days ago right when my tinnitus started and asked him if that is the cause but he didn't really eplain. Will the tinnitus subside once the infection is cleared?

It might or it might not - we all react differently. Once the infection has subsided and your brain has got used to the T it could disappear- let hope it does!

Thanks for the reply. The thing giving me peace is that it has seemingly gotten better since the first day.

I hope & pray it means your T will go away. I really do. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Fingers crossed the infection will be what is causing your Tinnitus.
