Hi,
Otoflour is helpful in one particular type of hearing loss that is otosclerosis which is usually age related. Common side effects are related to gastric disturbances etc but those occur at early dosing incidences, and if it's not the case then it's less likely to recur with long term use. You can continue it and get fresh otolaryngologist review and latest audiometry results to look for any progression in hearing loss.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
