Ofloxacin Ear Drops Medication — Experiences? Ototoxic?

[Striveon]

Hi, I was diagnosed at the hospital today with inflammation in my ear.

The doctor says he sees a bit of grey in my ear.

He prescribed me ofloxacin (floxin) 0.3% Otic solution.

Anyone has had problems with this medication or have taken it and got no increase in tinnitus?

Or do you know if it's safe?

Thank you

It is safe to use ear drops if your ear drum is intact (no holes).

Thank you, but I'm not even sure anymore :/

I've been reading on other forums that their tinnitus has spiked?

Have you tried this medication?

I've taken it without any issues.
