I actually had to start an antibiotic a week prior to the surgery because staph discovered in my nostrils/sinus during pre-op labs. Combined, for going on three weeks I’ve been on one antibiotic or another. So I hope that when I’m finished with the meds it’ll go away.

Drug induced tinnitus often goes away after discontinuation of the drug, provided the drug was used short-term.
But you must consult your physician, there are often alternative drugs that may not effect you the same way.
