    Tinnitus After Otitis Media (Took Amoxicillin and Cortisporin Otic) — Worse After Taking Tylenol

    So if some may have not known, I may have gotten Neomycin ear drops when I had an ear infection on my right ear last month and it may have made my tinnitus worse, but I discontinued it. It turns out that I have not had hearing loss after having an audiometry evaluation. So I have 3 questions...

    Today 1/29/2022, I believe I may have made good progress. Despite the spike from last week, it does not seem to bother me as much anymore since I am too preoccupied with school work. Although I may have some other personal problems, I believe that I am ok? Plus the fans from my PC are loud...

    Middle Ear Infection, Doctor Prescribed Penicillin — Tinnitus Worse

    Hello, I also had an ear infection last month. I am still hearing the tinnitus. But my situation is different from yours because your doctor only prescribed you Penicillin which is good since it does not really cause or worsen tinnitus. I am here because my tinnitus spiked from ototoxic...

    Tinnitus After Otitis Media (Took Amoxicillin and Cortisporin Otic) — Worse After Taking Tylenol

    12/17/2021 was when I first had my ear infection on my right ear. 2 weeks after the infection, my tinnitus seems to be barely noticeable and I can sleep. On 12/20/2022, I developed a bad spike. I do not know the reason, maybe it is from the Tylenol I have taken or perhaps my anxiety made it...

    Loud Tinnitus with Many Pitches and Sounds

    Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am unsure about the condition since I am not trained. I have a different condition, so I cannot offer you an explanation. But if I were to guess, I think it might have to do something with your Eustachian tubes or maybe it is just some change in pressure in...

    PSA: To Everyony Who Hears Their Tinnitus "Only in a Quiet Room"

    My incident was that I took Cortisporin Otic for my ear infection on my right ear and some of the ear drops got into my eardrum which may have damaged my inner ear and caused the tinnitus, but I have not faced any substantial hearing loss since I discontinued the drops. Also, I recently...

    Can Noise-Cancelling Headphones Help Tinnitus and Prevent Hearing Loss?

    Ty for replying. As for the ear infection issue, I am unsure if my tinnitus is permanent. But the next time I went to my PCP, he checked my eardrum and said that there are 2 holes in it. And he said to keep on using the Cortisporin Otic solution to prevent any further infections from happening...

    Can Noise-Cancelling Headphones Help Tinnitus and Prevent Hearing Loss?

    I will consider that option. I do not go to loud concerts or even listen to music at a really high volume. I guess I can also cover my ears whenever the train puts on the breaks. Plus my tinnitus is not that unbearable, so as long as I take care and be more aware of my surroundings by avoiding...

    Tinnitus After Otitis Media (Took Amoxicillin and Cortisporin Otic) — Worse After Taking Tylenol

    A few weeks ago, I got an ear infection (otitis media) on my right ear and was prescribed Amoxicillin and Cortisporin Otic. The medication worked out fine, the infection was gone, but I was left with some small buzzing sound. Then after a few weeks later, I took Tylenol for only 2 days...
