Brief Answer:
very very very rare levofloxacin side effect

Detailed Answer:
HI

Tinnitus is a very very rare side effect of levofloxacin, it occurs in 0.01 % to 1% (1 out of 100 to 1 out of 10 000 persons who use the medication).
It is likely, since it is such as rare side effect that it would not have any effect on your tinnitus

It is not a known side effect of fluconazole (also known as diflucan).
