    Possible Sinus Infection — What to Do?

    ...and feeling weak. As I am new to tinnitus (and struggling to adjust) I am afraid to take my usual antibiotic Augmentin XR which is very strong. I can take a lower dose but I'm not sure it will work. Also, sometimes the antibiotic doesn't work and I'm just sick for a few months. However...

    New Noise Due to Ear Infection After Months with Tinnitus. Chances It Will Be Permanent?

    Ok good, do you know how long you had it before getting treated? Im just afraid I got to it too late, since I never realized when it first started for me. I just know mine happened sometime in the months of Jan. or Feb. But knowing ya'll recovered makes me hopeful regardless.

    @Terje788 hi how is your T? I took Azithromycin (2 500mg pills) and a week later a course of Augmentin (I stopped it early (on 12/16) after 3 days) and my T set in permanently on 12/17 I noticed it on 12/15 but it was so low.

    Ear Infection / Antibiotics / Ringing Sucks

    Just a quick update. The augmentin (amoxiclov) seemed to really affect my ears after taking it about 4 times, so I stopped taking it. The pills were huge btw ( 1g total including amox and clovanic acid). Ears seem to be returning back to "my normal" aside from a bit fullness and some feelings...

    Should I Stop Taking Antibiotics?

    Thanks for the advice. I've done a lot of research as well and taken orally it doesn't seem to be high risk but the ringing has definitely increased in intensity. I've taken azithromycin pre-T with no issues but I guess I could be more susceptible now. It could also just be my anxiety as well...

    Tinnitus Caused by Ear Infection

    Hello, Sebastians. I looked at the link you posted. That's unfortunate that amoxicillin seems to be ototoxic too to some extent/in some instances. I don't think the antibiotics had anything to do with my T though because the ringing started before I was even given a prescription for them and...

    My Tinnitus Is Back Because of Antibiotics

    So, here's an update on where things stand. I went to visit an ENT on Friday, and they did a round of tests. He said he didn't think the Augmentin could cause an increase in my T but said the Cipro could. He also thought that based on my hearing test in which I've lost some low frequency...

    Fluctuating Tinnitus — Possible Infection? Ciprodex Ear Drops Causing a Worsening?

    Since you are still within the first week of tinnitus, it might be worth it to ask your doctor for a course of Prednisone steroids since it is one of the only effective treatment early on. You will need to take 60 mg for around 5 days along with a taper pack. I would do this ASAP because it is...
