HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different causes for tinnitus, as you mentioned in your scenario, your symptoms may be related to a previous ear infection.

Tinnex is the trade name of a medication called caroverine. It is used in some forms of tinnitus.
Medical studies indicate that it may be effective in 1/2 to 2/3 of persons who use it.

In terms of side effects- potential side effects are dizziness, headache, dry mouth, headache.
These effects may or may not occur.

I hope this helps
