Simply take some Niacin and swallow when you reach that pressure point next time to regulate the pressure in your ears. Niacin is what doctors prescribe to treat tinnitus and it works as far as I know.
If you have a Niacin deficiency you can develop ringing also. But, concentrating on the ringing sometimes makes it go away too, you basically will it away, in my experience it worked for me.

Your ears ring because of pressure behind the ear drums is different than that outside the ear so swallowing at the moment you notice the pressure change opens up the area to change and resolves the pressure difference.

My loud and chronic tinnitus has reduced to almost nothing since I began tapping the offending ear and saying "go away" when it happened. I don’t even bother doing that now. It just goes very quickly.

Have you checked if the ear infection has cleared up yet? its possible that there may be some inner ear problems that is causing it, you should speak to your doctor again.

Valium, Xanax and Klonopin are benzodiazepine drugs that many doctors prescribe for tinnitus. These are conventional medications which achieve only limited success in tinnitus relief, and usually their bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation often discourage use.

They are addicting to varying degrees and cannot be used continuously for a long period of time. They are helpful in reducing tinnitus symptoms and aid in sleeping. Valium is the most addicting of these and is not used often for this reason.

Xanax is very popular and is prescribed often for tinnitus. However, the ATA report on medications that cause tinnitus lists Xanax as causing it in 6.6% of cases.

Some herbal remedies exist which can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.

Some of the most common herbs used are
• Ginkgo Biloba is excellent for a number of cerebral and circulatory disorders. It is probably the most widely-used herb for tinnitus and many sufferers swear by this natural ingredient.
• Rosemary dilates and strengthens blood vessels and is an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary is particularly useful for tinnitus that is caused or worsened by high blood pressure and other circulatory conditions.
• Avena Sativa is effective in reducing high cholesterol levels which can contribute to circulatory problems which cause tinnitus.
• Wild Hyssop s also useful in reducing pain and inflammation.
• Salicylic Ac. (30C) is indicated for tinnitus with loud roaring or ringing sounds, which may be accompanied by deafness or vertigo. This remedy is particularly useful in people whose symptoms began with a bout of flu, Meniere’s disease or long-term use of aspirin.

Hope all this helps

Good Luck!
