Hello
There can be many reasons for your tinnitus and the one i am most afraid of is damage to your inner ear due to the pressure changes while flying.
I would like you to meet an ent doctor, who will ask you to do some audiological tests and guide you further. I dont think you should be using the antibiotic ear drops and can stop them.
Thanks
