Brief Answer:
Tinnitus associated with eustachian tube dysfunction may resolve based on the severity of disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Hope you are doing well.

Tinnitus associated with eustachian tube dysfunction may resolve according to the severity of the disease.

If there is much fluid collection in middle ear it will take much time and may need surgery. If the Tympanic membrane is adherent to the posterior wall then it may not resolve. 3 weeks is not a long time for tinnitus to get resolved.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
