Hello everyone,

This week, I developed a bacterial infection in my outer right ear due to excessive use of earplugs. I went to the doctor today, and he prescribed Ofloxacin eardrops after assuring me they are not ototoxic, which a quick Google search also seems to confirm.

However, knowing how understudied ear health is in general, I am still hesitant to use them out of fear that they might worsen my tinnitus. Has anyone here used Ofloxacin eardrops, and if so, did they cause any change in your tinnitus?

Thank you,
Scarlett
