Hi! No hearing loss, no. I got tinnitus about a month after my last dose of Accutane. I had an extreme withdrawl reaction. =(

Well Sarah have hope! Typically it resolves or gets to a point that it doesn't interrupt life. I know lots of people with this condition but they have hearing loss and they're living happy normal lives. We both are in the same boat and I've read it could take 12-18 months. Even if it never goes away it will get easier.
I think the first year is the worst I'm told. Just wanted to send out positive vibes because I know this isn't easy for anyone. I work in Neurology and I listen to my patients all day and think to myself "I need just as much help as you!"
@Mo8409 my audiologist told me that if it resolves it usually resolves within 6 months, but she's seen it resolve later than that but said chances become less and less likely. I've talked to many people who took Accutane and ended up with T and still have it 4 years later so I think I'm in for the long haul. ;(
@Mo8409 they do say it gets easier. I know like 25 people now, personally who have it and they seem to get along okay. You seem a lot more stable than I was when I first got it. I was very, very close to checking myself in to Behavioral Health, I was bad, bad.
@Mo8409 What do you do in neurology? How is your sleep?
