Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist 's  Response
Hi,

This condition is called coalescent mastoiditis, there may be some fluid in the middle ear also causing blocking sensation of the ear and ringing sensation in the ear (tinnitus). You need to get your ear checked up again by the ENT specialist, and also, you might require a surgery to relieve the fluid and ventilate the middle ear.

Regards
