Seldinafil (viagra) is known to cause a rise the blood pressure for some users. However, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is not a known side effect.

So, the ringing in your ears is probably unrelated to the medication but there is always a chance that it is an idiosyncratic reaction for you. The only way to know for sure is to stop the medication and see if the ringing goes away.

Your first step is to see an otolaryngologist, who may also send you to an audiologist for testing before a final diagnosis is made.

Depending on the cause of the tinnitus, sometimes it can be treated with drugs or surgery. If your tinnitus is untreatable, there are several things you can try to make it less bothersome:
avoid caffeine
avoid nicotine
zinc supplements may help
use a white noise machine or a ticking clock
avoid loud sounds, music and noises
exercise daily (improving your circulation can help)
avoid fatigue as it will intensify the ringing
try to ignore the ringing
if you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid with a "tinnitus masker" may help

Before trying anything, please see a specialist to be evaluated and diagnosed to find out what is the best course of treatment. Do not wait so long that there is permanent damage when this might be a treatable situation.
