Hello,

The noise in your ear could be related to a blockage of the inner ear drainage (which lays in the nose). A sinus infection could mimic this situation too.

For this reason, I recommend performing a sinus X ray study and also checking allergy tests. In the meantime, I would recommend using nasal decongestant drops.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
