Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain and loss of hearing in ears with constant ringing sound which seems to be due to ear infection and leading to tinnitus.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult an Otolaryngologist once and get a thorough clinical evaluation done and go for investigations like x ray, MRI scan of ear, blood tests which can help in diagnosis and treatment can be started accordingly.
You should take steam inhalation and apply warm compresses on ear. Avoid using mobile phone for few days till the time your symptoms starts resolving and avoid touching or pricking ear with any sharp object.
Get Well Soon.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
