Yes, I agree that doctors and all medical professionals should be more informed. It seems that most know nothing about the side effect, it's very disheartening.

NO! Do not take BuSpar! That is what caused my tinnitus in the first place.

Thank you for your input. It's hard to decide on whether to take another anti-anxiety medication because I was initially lied to about the side effects of BuSpar for my panic attacks causing me to get tinnitus in the first place :/.

I wish it was so simple, I have tried doing this for over a year now and it doesn't change. It is unfathomable on how strong these attacks are...I have tried everything in my power to control them, to ride them out, to push myself above them...nothing has helped me. I see no other option than to...

Hi everyone, So long story short, I have been dealing with panic disorder for more than a year now and originally was prescribed BuSpar which I was told was non-ototoxic, but it turns out it was and that is what caused my tinnitus and hyperacusis. Anyways, the panic attacks are still...

Hi all, So I chronically suffer from BV and have tried everything under the moon to get it to stop. I have chronic pain resulting from untreated BV for so long, and am really debating whether I should take this gel or not. I would like to know if anyone has had their tinnitus worsen from GEL...

I sure hope so because mine has been pretty sporadic since using the unit. How long do you notice your tinnitus returning to normal? I'm suppose to use a TENS every night for pain, but I don't want to risk a permanent shift in noise.

I am in physical therapy and my therapist started using a TENS unit by placing two electrodes on my lower stomach. All of a sudden about 8 minutes into the procedure, my tinnitus was the loudest it has ever been! It finally stopped about after 2 minutes. But ever since then, I have been having...

Amoxicillin has no effect on BV causing microbes such as Gardnerella.

Hi everyone, Yes, I know I have posted a few times asking about the ototoxic effects of various substances that I could not find research on and that any available research was inconclusive. I have recurrent BV infections and obviously cannot take antibiotics since they are ototoxic. I am...

Currently in school (online). Fighting for legal representation against ototoxic drug I was uninformed about. Tinnitus still in fluctuation.

I recently had a titer report for HBV surface antibodies for school and was found to have little to no defense against hepatitis B virus. I had HBV vaccinations as a kid, but am being forced into getting more as an adult. I'm wondering if anyone has received an HBV vaccination as an adult and if...

I meant 1/1000 chance not 1/100, so it is indeed rare. I was also lied to by a doctor about potential side effects. More so the chances of hyperacusis atones for the fact that any drug can cause harm.

I've already had bad luck. My tinnitus was a 1/100 chance from taking BuSpar. My hyperacusis was a 1/10000 chance with taking BuSpar and I got that too. So any small chance is one I'm not willing to take. Do you have variables on how small a chance it is. Are we talking like 0.01%?

This is very serious. I need to decide my career over this. I can't get my degree if I don't get a flu vaccine for my clincials. I need a good solid answer. This isn't a joke.

Hello everyone, I have never had a flu vaccine in my life and would never have one except for school I am required to have one no matter what (unless I'm allergic to them). I was wondering if flu vaccines can make tinnitus worse. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Brownie Boy (sorry I'm new here, don't know how to tag) I found the website I read where I saw that Flonase is ototoxic. This is the website: http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/which-drugs-are-causing-my-progressive-hearing-loss/ And scroll down to the comment section you will see these two...

Hello, I have the same problem. I had it a few years back when I'd exercise everyday but it wasn't as bad as it is now. Now a short bike ride makes my ears feel like they are on fire. I find that doing lighter workouts that don't have you huffing and puffing helps. Also to be in room...

Please do not use a nose spray with ETD. I have ETD as well and I read online that nose spray can be ototoxic. There is an exercise where you can manually make your Eustachian tube open and close allowing drainage. This video is on youtube here:

Hi everyone, I need some guidance on whether a neck adjustment by a chiropractor could make tinnitus worse. I have read somewhere online that it can make it better. My chiropractor has told me the same thing, but I have yet to have any since developing tinnitus 2 months ago. Before I had...

Hi everyone, Thank you for your help! I will plan to sit in front of the the airplane wings and to wear some good earmuffs. Also @sky_high my tinnitus was caused from 2 weeks on BuSpar for panic disorder. I also had hyperacusis for awhile but it's much better than it was.

Hello, I have been on this site quite a few times before developing tinnitus when my Dad was having problems managing his. Now I have tinnitus from medication I took. Anyways my question is regarding my first airplane trip in a couple of months. I have never been on an airplane and I want...
