Brief Answer:
Tinnitus is not listed under common side effects of Olmetec

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Although you were put on Olmetec it may not be due to the medication. Tinnitus is not a side effect listed in the medical literature for Olmetec(Olmesartan and Hydrocholthiazide).

I think it is better to re evaluate Cochlea hydrops.

Let me know if you have other questions.
