Hello there and welcome to the British Tinnitus Association forum.

Glue ear can muffle the hearing, and the muffling can lead to tinnitus. The good news is that once the glue ear is managed, and any blockage removed/drained, the tinnitus will usually resolve.

We have some resources that you might like to check out in addition to our home here:
