I was using "the drill"yesterday.The noise generated from drilling a solid stone caused a little pain on my left ear, pain decreased but I’m still feeling a "wnnn"noise, does this require a treatment?

What you hear in called "tinnitus" and results from exposure to the loud noise of the drilling machine. Noise is the most common cause of tinnitus. It should most probably disappear soon. It some cases however tinnitus persists for longer periods of time in which case it becomes annoying, at that point you may want to consult an ENT specialist.
