Okay, if you are able to see an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) physician, that is the first thing to do as soon as possible. 

Go see an Ear, Nose, and Throat/audiologist as soon as possible. ENT first if can't see both at same time. 

I would go to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor. 

That's outside of my scope of knowledge. That would be a better question for an Ear, Nose and Throat physician. 

Are you able to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat physician? If so, that's step number one. Go see a physician so they can take a look at your ears and start with a diagnosis so they can potentially treat. 

You can start with a hearing test with an audiologist. You can also see an ENT physician that has an audiologist on staff. 

That's outside of my scope of expertise, as I am not a physician. I would suggest seeing a general practitioner, and if it persists beyond that, then see an Ears, Nose and Throat (ENT) physician. 

It could be earwax buildup. If you want to try on your own first, you can buy an over-the-counter earwax removal kit. Debrox is the one I recommend. If your right ear has a lot of wax, it may take several times of using the ear drops and flushing. If after several cleanings it's not better, go see a doctor. 

Hmm, well it's hard to say for sure over the internet, but it sounds like he's experiencing vertigo. I can't say the cause for sure, but I'll tell you that fundamentally, vertigo is caused by a change in the signals from the vestibular nerve on each side. When we move our head, that stimulates the vestibular organs which sends a signal to the nerve and to the brainstem and brain and that is how we know if we are moving and which way we are moving. The vestibular nerves are always "firing", even if we are not moving. Once we start moving, the firing rate increases and this is how the brain distinguishes between no movement and movement. If there is an "assault" on one or more of the 5 vestibular organs or the vestibular nerve on either side, this disrupts the signal being sent to the brain. This disruption causes an asymmetry in the information being received by the brain from the vestibular system. The brain interprets this asymmetry to mean that the head/body is moving/spinning even when it's not, which causes vertigo and that can result in vomiting and dry heaving. As far as the cause of the "assault", it could be many different things, but the most common is inflammation of the vestibular organs and/or nerve due to viral infection. Sometimes, we are unable to determine the cause. Depending on what the physician thinks, he/she may prescribe a steroid to reduce inflammation, which reduces symptoms of vertigo. In many cases, the vertigo lasts continuously for a few days and starts to calm down as the brain begins to compensate for the asymmetry caused by the inflammation on one side, but the steroid can help reduce the inflammation sooner, so you don't have to experience the vertigo for so long, as it is a miserable symptom. I would suggest contacting the neurologist and being examined as soon as possible. 
Hope this helps!

No, there is no known cure; however, there are many ways to manage your awareness and reactions to it. Check out "Progressive Tinnitus Management Workbook." It's a free pdf that's informative and research based. Use Google as your search engine if possible. 

It could be. Best thing to do is to go see an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) physician and audiologist team for an evaluation. 

Occasional ringing in the ears is normal for everyone if it's only lasting up to a few minutes. Children's hearing is tested after they're born, when they enter school, and every 2-3 years while in school. If there are concerns, you'd see an audiologist to get it tested again. 

No, not necessarily. It depends on the cause. Hearing loss due to aging is typically gradual, but there may be a tipping point within the gradual decline at which you go from not noticing hearing difficulty to noticing it. If you feel it's been drastic, I would suggest seeing an audiologist for a hearing evaluation. If you've experienced a "sudden" hearing loss, it's ideal to be seen by an Ear, Nose and Throat physician within 72 hours for possible steroidal treatment. Other causes can be diabetes, heart, or kidney disease, and other changes in health or medication. 

Yes, pain can be due to inflammation, and inflammation is not always due to an infection. If the pain persists for more than a day or two without improvement, I would suggest seeing a physician, yes. 

No, ear pain is not always due to an infection. Yes, take her to see a physician. If persistent without resolving, I would suggest seeing an Ear, Nose and Throat physician. 

I would consult a dentist and/or Ear, Nose, and Throat physician. 

No, unless there are risk factors for hearing loss like recurrent or chronic ear infections, genetic hearing loss in the family, complications during pregnancy or birth, delayed speech and language development, etc. 

There could be many causes; however, this is outside of my expertise. If you're concerned and would like to investigate further, I'd suggest that you see your primary care physician and/or an Ear, Nose and Throat physician. 

It depends what is done, but it usually takes anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes. 

The rise in blood pressure could have caused the tinnitus. Likewise, the tinnitus may have caused stress, which can cause a rise in blood pressure. Do you have a primary care physician that you can see to check in?
