I feel for you. I have experienced the same. I was given Otomize ear spray which contains Neomycin and I got immediate tinnitus. I had no perforated ear drum. Of course the ENT doctors say that it's not possible. They say that without a perforated eardrum the Neomycin cannot traverse the...

Do you have a perforated ear drum?

@billie48 i read in one of your posts that tinnitus induced by neomycin can eventually go away. As you mentioned, its hard to predict when, but it is good to know there is hope that it might go away. Have you seen people who have recovered from neomycin induced tinnitus? Thanks for your time

Yes there is risk of ototoxicity using Neomycin drops with a perforated eardrum. A perforated eardrum can also cause tinnitus. I believe it could resolve once the eardrum heals, but I'm not 100% positive on this.

Going to comment as well, as I have this. I have had pressure in my eye area (trochlear area) for quiet some time. But after taking Neomycin, my tinnitus started, and my vision issues seemed to accelerate. Dealing w/ this oscillopsia, mainly edges jump around, which will cause me to feel...

...One more question, I apologize, this is the last for the day I promise. In my initial message, I have mentioned the use of AirPods but also Neomycin ear drops. Some of the posts in the forum blame Neomycin ear drops as being able to cause tinnitus. Just curious about the factors that made...

The ear drops and allergy pills are apparently ototoxic should I still take them? claritin D Neomycin-polymyxin-hydrocortisone

I am here because of Neomycin :)

Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Hydrocortisone Otis Solution.

Hello @MichaelP - Thank you for your excellent question. Let's first consider the neomycin. The topical preparation you describe contains "Neomycin sulfate 5mg/g," which means it contains 5mg of neomycin per gram of cream or 75mg of neomycin in a 15 gram tube of cream. Neomycin ototoxicity is...

Hi there, did you tinnitus spike recover some time after stopping the ear drops containing Neomycin? I’ve been taking the same drops (Otomize), and I feel like they may be causing a small increase in tinnitus with every spray. I also have no holes in eardrum. Would be interesting to hear if...

Hey Aline, I had hyperacusis, but that has since gone. I sadly do still have the ringing. I am tracking the intensity, hoping it will subside someday. There have been moments where it has been very quiet... but right now it's fairly loud. How are you fairing Aline? You take a lot of doses...

Super doubtful. For me I have low frequeny bilateral losses with air bone gaps there. Steroids made me worse so who knows. Could've been a precursor or catalyst for a predisposition for me immunologically.

was it the neomycin that worked for you?

Neomycin and Polymyxin are both ototoxic. They have both been used safely in people with intact ear drums, however some people here have had pretty substantial worsenings on it. I am glad they weren't a contributing factor but I would lay off of them, personally, just to be safe. If you don't...

I'm also wondering this. I got tinnitus from Neomycin x Polymyxin.

What kind of ear drops did you get? I had the Neomycin ones (the worst of all). I wish I had never gone to that doctor who misdiagnosed me with an ear infection I didn’t have. I was fine. I would have been fine. He gave me the triple whammy. Neomycin drops, Z-Pak and Methylprednisolone. What...

Since neomycin is an aminoglycoside, and aminoglycosides are one of the few drugs that are certainly ototoxic, I would avoid neomycin in otitis externa if I had tinnitus. Even if the eardrums are intact.

I got tinnitus from Neomycin. I suggest you to stop using it immediately. Neomycin ear drops are a bitch if you have undetected ear drum perforation.

Anyone used neomycin drops for ears since tinnitus ??

I'm going to weigh in here. Neil Bauman's was the first site to show for me that EYE drops of Gentamicin or Neomycin can cause hearing loss and tinnitus, mainly because he was compiling accounts of folks who reported it to him. Non-doctors can't report (other than VAERS) on adverse reactions...

...flu vaccines with no preservatives and no antibiotics; you have to ask around. I think preservatives are more concerning because mercury bioaccumulates indefinitely; the amount of Neomycin involved is extremely tiny; I'd expect to get more in my bloodstream from putting neosporin on an open...

I have hyperacusis and tinnitus after ingesting neomycin. It sucks.

Woke up with ringing after taking Neomycin for 3 days.

@serendipity1996, my tinnitus was caused by Neomycin ear drops. It's a shame doctors give out such medicine, without knowing it can cause side effects such as tinnitus and hyperacusis.

From the CDC (US): What's in vaccines? One of the ingredients is "residual" Neomycin

Did your T begin before or after you started taking Neomycin? Neomycin has been known to be ototoxic and very well could be the cause of your tinnitus if it began after you started that antibiotic.

Hi Stephanie - Did your tinnitus go away? I also used a spray with Neomycin in it and immediately started getting tinnitus. I have no perforation of the eardrum.

What were you prescribed these drops for?

I got tinnitus from Neomycin. I take 40 mg of Prednisone for a week, then I taper.

@JohnK I am sorry you had a bad reaction to Neomycin. I also had a bad reaction to Neomycin oral form for stomach. On the third day of a fourteen day pack I got slammed. Ear ring was low at first then got progressively louder and caused ear pain and soreness. The experts at a JHU Hosptal...

Same story here.. I believe Neomycin ear drop induced T is the most terrible type. I feel what you are going through. May I ask where you are located?Apparently, neomycin ear drops are too commonly prescribed in NZ and Australia.

Neomycin is on the list below http://hlaa-sbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ototoxic_Brochure.pdf Some even say that it is one of the worst ones: I am not sure how this person knows this, however, there are many people on this forum who had trouble after neomycin...

I also have tinnitus as a result of ear spray Otomize which contains Neomycin. My ENT specialist says it's not possible without a perforation but it came on immediately on using the spray!

...information is interesting, but I am not completely sure how to interpret it. According to http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/515901 "Neomycin is the worst offender relating to cochleotoxicity." "76 people reported to have side effects when taking Neomycin And Polymyxin B Sulfates And...

...of tinnitus can go away even after months or years. The longer you have it, the less likely it is to go away, but you are still in the early stages so anything is possible. It's impossible to say if it was caused by the syringing or the Neomycin, or the combination of those two. :huganimation:

Looks like neomycin especially affects the cells close to the base (and affects OHC and IHC). I would get an extended audiogram, it would very likely be abnormal.

But neomycin is highly ototoxic. In theory just when it comes into contact with a perforated eardrum, but I would not put it anywhere near my ears. I developed the high pitch after using neomycin ointment for 2 days on a totally different body part. It can be a total coincidence, because I have...

Hello, welcome to the forum! It looks like "Antibio-Synalar" contains neomycin which is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, and they are often ototoxic. Unfortunately tinnitus is a common side effect from aminoglycosides. You are definitely not alone, other members in this forum have had similar...

No pain before or after using them. Just the "standard" ear drops I suppose - it says Neomycin, Polymyxin, and Hydrocortisone Otic.

My T began the night before I started taking it.

Ciprofloxacin

Just to follow up... https://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/even-one-appliciation-of-neomycin-can-cause-hearing-loss/ I'm personally not touching the stuff again!

Ear drops... Don't get me started... Google neomycin and ototoxity........ then throw them away.

So I got tinnitus earlier this year from oral Neomycin (4 doses). It has modulated up and down. Some days better, some days rough. I'm 8 months into this, still hoping it dwindles with time. Anyway, I had some SOD earlier in the year, and got increased tinnitus loudness about 12 hours later. I...

Hi Aaron, Would you happen to know anything about systemic absorption of neomycin? My ear was bleeding when I used the one dose (3 drops) and both of my ears feel funny. Tinnitus in both, fullness, etc. I calculated the amount of neomycin to be about 0.5 - 0.7mg total in the 3 drops I used in...

...I am also 60. I had just Retired after 34 years. Never really been sick in my life... My wife was retiring the spring 2020. Now, because neomycin our lives have been turned upside down. Unfortunately, neomycin is one of the ototoxins that does not reverse itself. I used to kick myself for...

Those drops contain an antibiotic - perhaps your doctor thought you had an infection (not just an irritation)? Note that the antibiotic neomycin could be an issue if you suspect you have a perforated ear drum, as it is ototoxic. Consider asking for an alternative for peace of mind. Good luck!

Ingesting? How long did you use it for? How did you use it, where?

Did it get better? I’m also a victim of Neomycin and suffering incredibly.

I found this forum late. It’s now been 5 weeks since the onset of my tinnitus. I got tinnitus from having ear infection and using Neomycin ear drops. Is 5 weeks too late for taking Prednisone? Will it help with my tinnitus and hyperacusis?

...Yes, it’s in both ears. High pitch hiss, plus a church bell in the left with occasionally Morse codes and the “eeeee” in the left. And again, my tinnitus was not the result of a sound trauma; it was a combination of ototoxic meds (Neomycin, Azithromycin, and Methylprednisolone). It is just...

Check out https://www.tinnitustalk.com/search/2434080/?q=neomycin&o=relevance Many people got T after taking neomycin. You might want to contact those users (or just look at their latest/last post) to get a sense of what to expect. Please keep in mind that your sample will be biased, as people...

If you had neomycin, then maybe that's the cause, and not the cleaning?

...an acoustic neuroma, it is extremely rare. Doctors only try to be safe and prescribe an MRI for unilateral tinnitus. This is a thread about neomycin ototoxicity, check this out. FGG is one of the smartest members of the forum, so I think her take and experience on ototoxicity is absolutely...

Thanks @ajc. In case my tinnitus is caused by Neomycin ear drops, would you think it is irreversible? I am not sure what caused it, it is either the ear irrigation or the drops, because only after these, I started getting this condition.

Did you have a perforation when you used the drops? Has your balance been affected? How loud is your tinnitus?
