Ciprofloxacin and Tinnitus

I ended up taking the cipro for 2 weeks. I'm fairly sure it caused a spike. I will post here again to track the progress on the spike.
It's seeming like it was just a temporary spike, thank the gods. Anecdotal evidence, I took 500mg of cipro every day for 2 weeks, and it possibly caused a temporary spike. The spike started 1 week in and ended 10 days after finishing the cipro.
 

It's answered by a doctor, so it has more credibility than a random post but I personally prefer scientific studies as sources.

Here's what drugs.com has about it: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/ciprofloxacin-side-effects.html

It lists tinnitus as "Rare" (0.01% to 0.1%).

For comparison, Ibuprofen (that most people take without much though) lists it as common (1% to 10%): https://www.drugs.com/sfx/ibuprofen-side-effects.html
 
I took 18 pills of Ciprofloxacin when I had an infection from a bad rhinoplasty procedure.

I don't know if it caused my tinnitus or if the tinnitus is from my Valium withdrawal.
