About 2 weeks ago I had gotten a case of Swimmers ear from some water getting trapped during a shower. It began on my right but eventually both ears got infected. I dealt with this using a vinegar/water mixture (what I had on hand at the moment). A week had pasted and my Swimmers Ear seemed to dissipate, though now im experiencing some ear ringing that won't seem to stop. Im not in any pain and I can still hear, sleep, and do everything else alongside it; though, it is noiticable when im not doing anything. It seems to be stemming from my right ear, yet I feel no pain when I touch my ear etc. I feel this ringing may be due to my excessive earwax growth during the Swimmers ear incident, in which I didnt clean to keep excess water out of my ears. From what Im guessing, said earwax is now impacted deep in my ear. Ive now started using a vinegar/rubbing alcohol mix to clear out my ear. So far ive done it once to no avail, should I expect immediate results? What other things can I try?

It will be advisable to consult with a doctor who can examine you and advise as to what needs to be done. If there is impacted wax near the ear drum don't try to remove by your self because you may injure your ear drum. It is better to get professional help.
