ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
Enlarged tonsil could cause problems in the ear by causing problem in the opening and closing that is proper functioning of the eustachian tube which connects middle part of ear to the back of nose.
If you develop tonsil again and again then you should get them removed by getting operated.
The ear ringing could be because of the tonsils . but need to be examined . you need to consult an ENT specialist .
