    Prescribed Azithromycin for Whooping Cough: Will It Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    I just wanted to provide an update in case anyone searches for the effects of Azithromycin on tinnitus in the future. I completed the five-day course, and it had zero effect on my tinnitus—not even a slight increase.

    Prescribed Azithromycin for Whooping Cough: Will It Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    Thanks for the reassuring responses, @annV and @Eloy79. I decided to start taking Azithromycin since my test came back positive for whooping cough today. I’m hopeful it will go smoothly. I’ll keep you updated!

    Prescribed Azithromycin for Whooping Cough: Will It Make My Tinnitus Worse?

    I have been coughing nonstop for the past two weeks, and my husband has been the same. We both have symptoms that doctors believe are typical of whooping cough, especially the characteristic sound. We have been tested, but the results take several days to come back. Two different specialists are...

    Magnesium

    Just wanted to check in and thank @MindOverMatter and @Nick47 for the tip on trying Magnesium Glycinate instead. I switched from Citrate a few weeks back and my tinnitus has gone way down, so this appears to be working! My tinnitus is still slightly higher than baseline when on no Magnesium at...

    Magnesium

    Thanks for the tip, I bought some yesterday. I will try it out and hope my spike quiets down. Thanks. I've started taking Glycinate now, let's see how it works for me!

    Magnesium

    Has anyone whose tinnitus gets severely spiked by Magnesium Citrate found a form of Magnesium that doesn't spike their tinnitus? Which one has worked best while still being effective for calming nerves, relaxing muscle spasms etc.? I need to take Magnesium for other issues but it spikes my...

    Always. Start a couple days before and lasts at least a week. Never fails. It's horrible but at least I know it'll pass but still a struggle to cope those days.

    Can Magnesium Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I have this same problem. I've tested it multiple times, stopping and starting Magnesium, and it never fails. It spikes my tinnitus within 24 hours, and it's no small spike either. I'm in one at the moment since I restarted Magnesium a few days ago again. I really need to take Magnesium for...

    Anyone else with peripheral neuropathy? Have you found anything that helps? I'm weary of going on drugs like gabapentin etc.

    Others with Chiari Malformation and/or Unmaskable Fluctuating Tinnitus?

    I didn't actually suffer any hearing loss, most with SCDS have it but not all of us. For me it started with vertigo. I was hit with a bout of vertigo that lasted more than 3 months straight. At first they thought I had BPPV and tried Epley manoeuvres etc. I couldn't walk straight and it was just...

    Others with Chiari Malformation and/or Unmaskable Fluctuating Tinnitus?

    I have a slight Chiari malformation, however I am not under any more investigations or care for it, it was just visible on an MRI. I do have an inkling myself it's the reason for my frequent neck pains and cervicogenic migraines/headaches I've had my entire life. But I've also got SCDS on both...
