    Do You Still Go to Movies?

    No. I went once to concert and mildly regretted it because of bass. I was left with random morse code sounds in one of ears for few weeks because of that. so, nope. I heard however of cinemas that have "Family friendly" sites where light is on and volume is tuned down (however mothers can...

    @josh77 People that take klonopin and have tinnitus on this board advise strongly to not create dependency. Take it short term and in small doses, otherwise you mind end up with permanent tinnitus increase when you will go to withdrawal and thats something you want to avoid.

    Possible Ear Infection? Otomize?

    Are you aware that antibiotics are fairly new treatment option - less than 100 years old. You can always count on infections to "go away" but it isn't always the smartest thing to do. Go and see a doctor, dont be an idiot that tries to self diagnose since you cant see insides of your ear.

    Flucloxacillin, Is It Safe for the Ears?!
