Ive been experiencing this annoying beep noise in my left ear for quite some time now. It gets more noticeable when Im in a quiet place and seems to disappear when theres a lot of noise around me. The doctor mentioned it might be tinnitus and gave me some meds, but they dont seem to be working. Could it really be tinnitus, or might it be something else?

Tinnitus is ringing sound in the ear...it may be due to impacted wax,fluid in the middle ear,acute or chronic otitis media, abnormally patent eustachian tube, minieres disease, otosclerosis,noise trauma, ototoxic drugs etc...it may be due to non otologic conditions like Anaemia, hypertension, hypotension, arteriosclerosis, hypoglycemia,epilepsy,migraine etc...so detailed clinical examination and evaluation needed Consult nearest ent specialist they will do the needful.

I'm about a month post-tympanoplasty and I'm experiencing this persistent itching and some weird noises in my ear. There's also this internal skin pain that's kind of bothering me. When I talked to my surgeon, they said it's all normal, but I'm still worried. Is it really usual to have these symptoms after the surgery?

Usually it's not normal but in few cases healing process would cause those symptoms,no need to worry, follow your surgeons advice do not attempt to scratch or massage it.

I'm experiencing some discomfort on the left side of my throat every time I drink water or swallow saliva, but it doesn't hurt when I'm eating. The pain is lower in my neck, and I don't have any fever or cold symptoms. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest what I could do about it?
