It is temporary and will go after stopping nitrofurantoin. If troublesome, take tab cinnarizine 25mg every 8 hours for 5 days.

It may be a coincidence as nitrofurantoin does not cause a ringing sensation in ears. Or it may be due to cause unrelated to nitrofurantoin.
Next Steps
if there's any ear discharge or pain please consult ent. if there is giddiness please reach your GP
Health Tips
wait and watch if it's not bothersome.

Ringing in ears is not a known side effect of Nitrofurantoin. It might be totally unrelated to the antibiotic that you've taken. Hydrate yourself properly.
Next Steps
Connect if you're also having giddiness along with ringing in ears.
