About 3 weeks ago, after a bad cold, I got a sinus infection that got to my ears. My ENT prescribed antibiotics for 7 days and they didn't work. Another ENT performed a myringotomy on my right ear to extract the fluid. After a couple of days after the myringotomy, my ear was infected and I got tinnitus. My ENT says the tinnitus will go once my eardrum heals and the infection is cleared, that I have to be patient. However, I haven't slept in days and am starting to get really depressed. HELP!

Have a chat with your doctor about melatonin to help you sleep.
Try an antihistamine to reduce mucous and a nasil spray to help keep your tubes clear and a extra pillow at night to help.
See if that helps you.
I have a sinus problem also and awaiting an ENT appointment.
Love glynis

I wish there was a different answer to give you, but nobody can tell you that for sure. I do, however, think there's a better chance for your tinnitus to go away than ones caused by loud noise or music, but even that is a guess.
However, it will probably decrease a bit over time and should it not go away entirely, you will adapt more and more to it, no matter how unlikely that feels at the moment.

You can find the answers to your questions about sleeping while having tinnitus and the probability of it going away in the thread below that summarizes what I learned after having been reading the posts on this forum for a year.
