...known to be ototoxic. Obviously we should do everything possible to stay away from those. Right now, I may need an antibiotic in that class (Neomycin). And I'm basically just not taking it because it's for SIBO, with which you can live. Nothing but life or limb would be worth taking a known...

And also, with an intact eardrum and still there being reports of ototoxicity rarely with the use of neomycin ear drops, one can assume the only way the drug was able to reach the inner ear was through systemic absorption of the drug. So why do you say cipro would not be absorbed systemically...

OK, so systemic delivery. That makes sense. I think there's a few other reports in here of problems with it when used this way. @DebInAustralia also had a bad reaction (I think she blames it for her T actually), and if I recall well, a few others on this forum also had an issue with it. I'd also...

...(Mind you during this time audiologists performed hearing test day before; hearing was excellent). Hospital GI prescribed Xifaxan and neomycin for 14 days. After day 3 ringing started in left ear. Got progressive louder next day causing ear pain. Went to a very cold ENT who prescribed...

...worsen tinnitus. That is my theory about what happened to me. I remembered this post by @carlover who had a similar experience to me, albeit with gentamicin drops rather than neomycin (both ototoxic aminoglycosides): Hopefully your infection is gone and you will be fine now. Best of luck. :)

...I am going with my brain and thinking! When I have not used my thinking, it has generally lead to big time pain. Like trusting the docs re Neomycin and such, without me checking and thinking about it. Too many examples to mention. So...I took 1,000 mg to give 72 hours total at that dose of...

So I've been suffering with tinnitus and hyperacusis for a little over 3 months now in my left ear. It is a result of I believe taking Neomycin. It initially started as mild where I could mostly just hear it in a quiet room but it has elevated twice in pitch. When I first developed the...

...and/or TMJ issues that tie this all together that started a long time before the tinnitus/hyperacusis was brought into the mix from the neomycin. I also really wish I friggin knew how to fix my gut... it's worse than ever and I nor any doctor has been able to figure it out or fix it. But...

...so I went up to Albany Medical Center to a subspecialist ENT (miscroscopic otoscope, debriding, etc.) He was incredibly awful (pushed Neomycin drops on me constantly which then caused contact dermititis in both ears, weeping skin), so I found another Dr. there whom I have seen five times and...

...I had the (potential) ruptured eardrum My GP had me on a eardrop that should never be used when having one due to it being highly Ototoxic (Neomycin). Overall my hearing is just off although I have no way to confirm if i actually had a ruptured eardrum when using the drops so may/maybe not...

...of the this problem almost one year. MRI, blood work are all normal. I have seen 2 ENTs and 2 Neurotologists. I have tried: -Zyrtec -Neomycin ear drops -Amoxicillin -Ginkgo biloba -Sudafed -Vitamin E -Warm compression on the ear -Lipo Flavonoid Plus -Acyclovir -Prednisone twice...

...time after the event, but doesn't hurt as much now when I hear something small. I did visit another urgent care doctor who prescribed me Neomycin, which is an antibiotic for ear infections that doesn't have Penicillin in it. It also has a steroid in it to reduce inflammation. Another urgent...

...hearing loss attached to their T. After recovery from an bad outer ear infection with small perforation due to a qtip. in which I was given Neomycin eardrops roughly 1 month ago (infection got worse and was on Cirpodex too but eardrum had fully healed by then so no real chance at hearing...

Keppra is a very unknown drug in terms of the mechanisms. We may never truly know how it works. I mean, we still don't know how the pill works, but it does? Rather confusing eh? But hey, let's move forward and keep on trying fixing.

...sucks. OK, the "guy fix it thing"...and from a semi-idiot here, so just fishing OK. 1. Please tell me your antibiotic ear drops were not Neomycin based. Can you look at the label or scrip and tell me what the active ingredients are please. 2. Good that you got the MRI (hopefully not so...

...properties. I have tried Gabapentin and it feels like it's too ototoxic for me; most things are. My tinnitus/hyperacusis started with Neomycin but there were some hints of the sensitivity/physical pain to very high volumes a few times before that. I also may have Lyme's, or hydrops/atypical...

...and regulating glucose transporters (Yamahara et al., 2015). Similarly, IGF-1 and substance P protect vestibular hair cells against neomycin ototoxicity (Yoshida et al., 2015). Recombinant IGF-1 therapy has been approved to increase linear growth, and therefore height, in humans, spurring an...

...would do the elemental diet, *especially* if you have constipation because most supposed SIBO with constipation requires both Rifaximin and Neomycin, the second of which is known to definitely be ototoxic. But even Rifaximin, as important as these symptoms are to me, I would not take again...

...of the patient as you've found out, but what I really struggle to get my head around is why they would take unnecessary risks in prescribing neomycin in the first place given its widly known to cause severe ototoxity if it reaches the inner ear!?.....why not prescribe alternative "safer"...

Having a background in finance, here's how I make decisions: if the benefit outweighs the cost in the cost/benefit analysis, then go ahead with it. In the case of the flu shot, what are the benefits for an otherwise healthy person? The benefits are you probably won't get sick with the flu that...

...Millions of tests. Almost non-stop gut pain.No idea what was wrong....I tried EVERYTHING. I wanted my life back. Eventually docs gave me Neomycin (for possible bacterial overgrowth in small intestines???) and Amphotericin for possible intestinal yeast/fungus infection. They were just guessing...

I agree with the comments regarding the medications. It appears that virtually all medications are ototoxic according to him. It is my understanding that there are a very limited number of truly ototoxic drugs. People might believe that a drug is causing a worsening of their symptoms when it...

...it was a bit swollen and wrote me a prescription of some ear drops with corticosteroids to help me with the swelling (the ear drops contain neomycin sufalte, dexamethasone, polimixin b and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose). Also told me that the pitch could take a few days to go away, and to get...

...really need to be getting a lot out of it to do that. Hopefully, something local turns up. Street Spirit re TRT...Indirectly. When the Neomycin and Amphotericin "blew my head off" (re outrageous T and H) in 2006, I did follow up on TRT and some aspects of it. I could not afford the high...

I don’t have tinnitus from an ear infection, but I would recommend taking NAC 1200 mg daily in two doses as that can help mitigate ear damage. Also take Magnesium. Protect your ears from loud noises and wear hearing protection like earplugs outside for at least 5 - 6 months. But don't overdo...

Ah yes LPR, I actually got that after stopping Mirtazapine. And histamine intolerance as well, which I am hoping clears up. The LPR has improved a fair amount, so doesn't bother me every day. But I know too well how gastro stuff sucks. I have had IBS-D for two years, and I got worse GI symptoms...

I'm not a doctor and am not offering any advice, but i suspect (for H) keppra seems to work better at lower doses and the results seem to present themselves relatively quickly. @swc5150 and @svintegrity both had good results at 500mg per day. I dug this post up from Viking as well: " I'm not...

...loss) which he did and I came out clean for both of them. Was prescribed an ear spray Otomize(Contains Acetic Acid Glacial/Dexamethasone/Neomycin Sulphate) to be used 2 times daily for 7 days. Used it the first night and went off to bed. Woke up the next morning and the buzz was still there...

...ototoxic medications include the aminoglycoside antibiotics when given by vein or by injection (e.g., gentamicin, streptomycin, amikacin, neomycin, tobramycin); the quinine-based antimalarials (e.g., chloroquine) and quinine-based antiarrhythmics (e.g., quinidine); and the platinum-based...

...of void...hell, many Western docs have studied acupuncture and TCM in China or gone there for courses (even my own who gave me that darn Neomycin). Like I said WEIRD....and I fully agree with Valentin and his comments. Wearing earplugs in Thailand was considered "strange" and some odd...

Hi @May86, sorry to hear of your situation. I too got my tinnitus from an ear infection in September. Although I am not on the other side of it yet, what I can recommend to you is try to stay healthy and not catch any viruses or COVID-19. Limit your time in public places where you can get sick...

...perhaps temporary spikes. Perhaps it’s the stress? Regardless, I am contemplating taking prednisone but I’ve taken it 6 times in the past year. My tinnitus/hyperacusis was caused by Neomycin (ototoxic drug). Suggestions? Pointers? Greatly welcomed. P.S if you want more details feel free...

...can cause chills, confusion, dizziness, fever; lightheadedness, muscle aches, sunburn-like skin rash that is followed by peeling of the skin Neomycin, polymyxin, gentamycin – antibiotics---- Source: https://liveto110.com/flu-vaccines-are-toxic/ I wouldn't be putting this shit in my body at...

...definitely more of an unfocussed hiss with less noticeable tones going on. Also the low pitched whirring noise that I got courtesy of some neomycin eardrops (cheers doc!) was much more noticeable. This all settled down quite quickly and within half an hour when I got to bed I'd say my t was...

I think the loud music u listen to caused that buzz , it's good U don't have hearing loss , but try to keep the volume down hopefully you're t will subside with time DONT PLAY anymore loud music let youre ears heal

...louder ringing joined the party (sic) thanks to a cocktail of ototoxic meds which made me feel like my head was getting blown off inside. [Neomycin & Amphotericin primarily]. That was a mistake on the part of my docs, but I was really ill and they were doing their best. It was one of those...

...for most of my life but it was vastly exacerbated by antibiotics and morphed into hyperacusis as well, in 2006 when I was treated with Neomycin and then Amphotericin. Talk about a double whammy of ototoxic drugs!!! Unfortunately I was so out of it at the time, (with a deep seated mystery...

...I could not get myself back to the doctor until Sunday 10/6. I saw a different doctor who told me I was having an allergic reaction to the neomycin in the drops. Was given a cream for the ear, more antibiotics and told to make an appointment with an ENT for after the allergy is dealt with. I...

You linked the location of the CDC, not where they actually said it was in the flu vaccine. Thimerosal for one is only in multi dosage vials to prevent contamination; it is used as a preservative to prevent microbial growth. Pre filled syringes do not contain thimerosal, and most vaccines do...

Hi Jaysterk, I sympathise - I hated fireworks even before having tinnitus! I know the July 4th celebrations will be over now, but I've just looked online and it seems that M-80s are consumer fireworks that require a license to be used, specifically due to the damage they can cause. Did you...

...Gram-negative infections. Examples would be gentamycin, streptomycin, amikacin, and tobramycin. I am fine with gentamicin ear drops or neomycin (another aminoglycoside) ear drops as long as in either case the tympanic membrane (eardrum) is intact. Eye drops and topical preparations...

...II---- Now, unfortunately, after a different health issue, lots of stress, and overdosing on otomize ear spray (why on earth to they take neomycin and put it directly into ears?? :mad:) I find myself once again with bilateral tinnitus caused by ototoxicity, stress, or both--this time at an...

Hello! I have been in a similar situation as yours but in my case regarding construction on a nearby house. I would leave my own house and roam around for hours on end, in my car, or go to the library, to the beach, for a walk.. it was really tough. In the end I had to rent some other place for...

...Was it the Minocycline that caused it? Hard to tell. The really ototoxic antibiotics are the ones where the product name ends in -mycin (eg. neomycin, vancomycin, and so on). But I would say that to be on antibiotics for a four weeks is a longish time. A course of wide spectrum antibiotics...

...With this propensity, there is thus the possibility of further damage...BUT I also believe that if I had not had a shitload long dose of Neomycin (the most ototoxic aminoglycoside on earth) and then Amphotericin (another ototoxic killer) on top of it...I would still be, "Reactive T and H...

...and years of tests and treatments for my undiagnosed, long term, "Lyme Disease type" illness. One of the treatments for which being the Neomycin and Amphotericin (presumed SIBO and then Intestinal fungal infection) that gave me that third tinnitus ramp up and the hyperacusis....thank you very...

...to post a reply to this post because I believe it's helped me and my case is somewhat related. My T started in 2012 after I was prescribed neomycin ear drops after a microsuction procedure. Microsuction procedure went fine except he said I had an infection in my left ear so he prescribed...

...Has anyone ever heard this advice from a medical professional??? I sure haven't, and that was even when being given a four week course of Neomycin, one of the most ototoxic drugs on the planet AND by one of the best docs in N. California! Now consider...Even plain old over-the-counter NSAIDs...

...wrong and attempting to stop the Nexium that January to try and help digestion, having gone from 245lbs to 170lbs, we tried a round of neomycin/xiflaxin for SIBO which is a decision I will regret for the rest of my probably short life. Two days in I developed hyperacusis, tinnitus, what I...

Bearing in mind I have been on 10 mg pain killing dose of amityptilyne for 12 years and zopiclone for 6 before my nightmare T&H started. I would now love to come of these but I haven't got a clue where to start and am also worried that having used them long term stopping may actually make...

dude some people some times have to take these drugs for a period of time to help them get by and then hopefully get off them in the future.

Zimichael I agree! If it walks like a duck and looks like a duck -- it's probably a DUCK! This only highlights the deplorable level of attention the general medical community has given to T; then again, maybe the side affects are not highlighted because they may get in the way of profits...

Niyu: Your reporting is extensive and helpful. I've tried a limited number of these and I also toss in my disclaimer that I'm different from most (and ostensibly older). When I brought home Gabaxxx and tossed it when I read what it contained. Oxyies have never worked for my tinnitus (I also...
