Stop Ringing Ears

or almost come on from post traumatic stress syndrome or something? i know you can get it from loud noises going directly into your ear and damaging the ear drum, but if you never had an ear infection that brought it on, could if be from traumatic experiences and some sort of mental trauma/psychological experience? thanks
*ALSO has there been any one (famous or not) that has tried to research this specific question before? Or even thought about it themselves? thanks!

I’ve been informed by my doctor that I’ve got a Viral Ear infection (Not bacterial yet, so no damage to the ear drum or behind the drum, just an inflammation in the ear). The most disturbing sympton I’m getting is the constant ringing. Does the ringing clear up with the infection? If not, how much longer does it take for the ringing to subside?
