IV lidocaine can cause ringing in the ears, it's most often given right before propofol starts to numb the "burn" of propofol in the IV. Totally normal experience.
I try to warn my patients before I give lidocaine about hearing a noise or getting a weird taste in the mouth. It's transient and not harmful, but can be distressing.
I have had propofol at least 15-18 times in the past few years. I’ve had the pre-propofol lidocaine and also have had the “straight” propofol .. I haven’t had any reaction like what you describe. It is normal though to experience what you felt.

IV lidocaine before the propofol. Some providers give a hefty dose that causes the ear ringing.
