HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, ringing (tinnitus) and infection are two different condition some time these may related and some time not, but it is very important to differentiate them because tinnitus may be alone it self, and it can be possible in absence of infection, if you have not gone to see the ENT surgeon then better to see it, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
