having any kind of infection in your upper respiratory tract is likely to affect your ears and the organs surrounding them. Tinnitus is just one of the symptoms you could have. When you see ENT make sure you have a list of questions to ask. In the meantime have a look at the website of Tinnitus UK, if you haven’t already done so.

Hi there. I myself have had tinnitus for over 1 year, in both ears. Like yourself, everytime I get a cold, sore throat, or covid, the tinnitus ramps up considerably. I find when the infection clears, it finds its usual level again, as long as I don't stress or over analyse it. I find a packed day, with plenty of distraction and sounds, plus a sleepband with sound therapy at night, helps to calm things back down again. Hope yours levels out a bit and take care. We are with you.
