How can I fix my tinnitus?

I am a teenager and I have constant tinnitus. I got it during an ear infection a year ago and it has not gone away. I took hearing tests, and the tests say my hearing is perfect, and I can hear eveything fine, but the ringing bothers me. I have no symptoms of any other disease, so I don’t know what to do.

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!

What can I do about tinnitus?

I am 16 and developed tinnitus in both of my ears after having a painful double ear infection several years ago. The confusing part of my tinnitus is that I actually hear better than most people and I got close to perfect results after having a hearing test. What could be causing it? I am sure it is not anything deadly as I have had it for several years and it has not gotten worse at all, but what can I do to maybe make the ringing less severe? The only time I really notice it is while I am in bed and everything is completly quiet.

The ringing or background noise in my ear has been going on for weeks.
Think it was caused by an ear infection. The sound is not too loud as i can only hear it in quiet environment. It sounds like an empty tape recorder being played, would this be tinnitus. I haven’t been to the doctors yet but just wanna know if this is tinnitus or not? And if so, will it be able to go away?

I woke up with a sharp pain in my left ear, i went to the doctor that very morning. The doctor told me that it was an ear infection and gave me some ear drops and antibiotics. My brother helped me dropped the ear drops, and i ate my medicine. I slept for awhile and realised that my ear didn’t hurt anymore. However, it still felt slightly blocked, i went on with my daily activities. The next day, i started hearing buzzing sounds in my ear. Will tinnitus go away when my infection cures?

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?
