What Is Causing High Pitch Ringing In Ears?

Hi I have had 2 lumbar surgeries this year. 6 weeks apart. The second one was to remove a large SF filled cyst. Was in ICU for 5 days with drain to keep pressure off the places he fixed. About a week after I got out started having a high pitch ringing In my ears and the headache came back. Went back to see my Dr and he said that the ringing in my ears was not a symptom of a leak. And no leak was showing on the MRI. But when he went in to take the cyst out he also found 4-5 small leaks that did not show up on a previous MRI. So what is going on? Thanks for any answers you can help with

hi
the ringing in ear and the headache started after the removal of the drain.
the mri shows no leak but on removal of cyst there was some leak.
all these things will require a detailed examination so i would suggest you to take a second opinion from same speciality and then take any decision.
