Hello and welcome to HCM,
Ringing in ears is called tinnitus.
Tinnitus can occur due to multiple reasons.
Infection is one of the cause of ringing sensation.
You need to consult an ENT specialist and get tympanometry done.
Tympanometry will give the detailed picture of the ear functions.
If the ringing is due to infection, clearing of the infection will suppress these symptoms of tinnitus.

Thanks and take care
