I had a back tooth pulled (third from molar) about 3 weeks ago. now my check is swelling and I can hear a noise occasionally in my ear. could this be dry socket?  I did have a root canal done 4 months ago,  still had pain, so the tooth was extracted.

Check with a dentist to make sure there are no infected teeth causing the swelling.  If not, I would go see your physician.
