Hello,

Epidural injection of steroid may not be the cause of tinnitus in the right ear. It may be related to increased anxiety due to injection. So try to relieve your anxiety and can take a mild dose of sedative for relieving tinnitus.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
