Hi Dginobile, I still have tinnitus, 13 months so far, but first of all, I don't think it's permanent, and secondly my situation is a bit different from others who have macrolide-induced tinnitus as I had something like an allergic reaction to the drug, my head swelled horribly, and I lost...

Yes it could be, but frankly you're stating possibilities, while I'm trying to work on probabilities. There's already an overwhelming surfeit of data to sift through and that's part of the problem and what causes people to panic. I've checked and have discounted sinus problems, allergies & TMJ...

Hi Victor, In my 13 month experience, there's undoubtedly a connection between tinnitus and the health of your gut. I think it's the vagus nerve (or branches of it) which run from down in your colon into your ears. The idea among some nutritionists is that a poor microbiome and an excess of...

Does anyone have experience of this? For over a year now I've had very loud crunching in my ears every time I swallow. It's been like this since I had an allergy-like reaction to antibiotics (azithromycin) where my head swelled up and consequently I got tinnitus. The style of cracking sound...

Millions of people take azithromycin each year, and only a tiny percentage get tinnitus from it, and then only a tiny percentage of them have it stay for a longer time. It's very unlikely it will happen to you. Relax, take deep breaths, exercise, eat well, and do something you enjoy. The...

Patch and Anima, thank you. From what I've read around, most people who got tinnitus from antibiotics did not experience other head side effects. I asked because I'm pretty sure my own reaction was allergic, as my head swelled up 24 hours later and basically shut me down for weeks. The fact that...

It's possible, but remember that possibilities in life are enormous, while probabilities are what count. The probability that it will stay is very low. Please see this good doctor and his site for info about ototoxic drops...

Did anyone else experience vertigo and significant hearing loss when they had their reaction to the drug? Or just tinnitus?

Thank you very much Anima. I wish you all the best as well, and a recovery from the reaction to the anaesthetic. Back when this began, I read case studies about the negative effects of azithromycin. There was basically nothing about a normal course (3-7days) negatively affecting hearing. All...

Biaxin / Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic and that is the family that did me in too (Azithromycin). I have been searching for remedies for this for 9 months, but more on that in a minute. My immune system was in an extremely weak state when I took the drugs, and I figure that was what...

I got tinnitus from antibiotics (azithromycin), and there is definitely a connection between antibiotic-induced tinnitus and stomach problems. What's called a candida cleanse--removing yeasts and sugars from your diet for about 3 months--helps to reduce tinnitus, if only by strengthening your...

Hi. No unfortunately I still have the tinnitus from the azithromycin in January. It's been a long and complicated journey since then, with another dose of antibiotics needed along the way, though they worked well (amoxicillin-clavulanic). I am still searching for ways to remove the tinnitus, and...

I have an update and a question about eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD). I saw an ENT specialist 4 days ago, and she thinks I'm going through ETD. I have some matching symptoms (tinnitus, clicking when swallowing and yawning, and a blocked / muffled feeling to the ears and sound), but no...

See the ENT, but steroids in general aren't great -- let an expert diagnose you. What you will need most of all is one of the hardest things to have -- patience to let your ears recover. I've endured ringing in my ears from numerous punk concerts and it has always passed after several days. The...

I'm glad it's worked out for you Michael. I saw my GP today, 14 days since taking the last pill of azithromycin. She said my ears are clear, and because I don't have a temperature or any balance problems, she doesn't want to give any more antibiotics (which I didn't want anyway). She spoke to...

No, not consistently anyway. I had had ringing in my ears in the past following loud concerts and a middle ear infection a few years ago, but not at a consistent high pitch like now. Glynis, unfortunately I don't think mucus-related congestion is my issue. My 3-month long sinusitis was more...

Does anyone have experience with this antibiotic and tinnitus? I was prescribed a 3 day, 500mg azithromycin course for chronic sinusitis and possible chest infection. A few hours after the second pill, the tinnitus began, as well as disorientation. The latter passed in a day, but now, 12...
