...that point. Granted that I have allergies and am having surgery tomorrow. So I don’t know what it is at this point. I took 6 pills of augmentin a month ago for an infection and it's listed as safe. I have taken more potent antibiotics with no effect. I just don’t understand what’s going on.

@GregCA That is reassuring but Im mostly concerned with a T spike. There are a lot of people on here that report major spikes after augmentin. Im just really scared of which direction to go. So in other words im frozen in a fear state as its just 2 weeks in... thank you for the info i will...

Thank you .. I'm currently taking augmentin for my sinus infection. I wont even go into the side effects I have had on it so far. I get a massage once a week. It helps a lot.. immensely.. I just wanted to go another step. But I'm not sure with getting trigger point injections could increase...

...the pass 5 days ive been taking my antibiotics for my ear and mt T was improving so much almost to the point of being gone but this morning i woke up with a loud T ive been taking augmentin is this the reason for my T im not going to take it anymore and im going to my...

...some balance issues. The fullness and balance problem went away, but the increase in volume of my T stayed with me. A month later I took Augmentin which contains amoxicillin which doubled the intensity of my T even further after just one dose. My T was the same for 12 years until the Cipro...

At my first visit to Urgent Care, the doctor prescribed Augmentin and Neomycin ear drops. I took them both for about a week, but had no change. I stopped taking them because they didn't help, and because I started learning about the possible ototoxicity of them. I also bought some homeopathic...

Cheers for the info

Hang in there, things should get better. Augmentin can make you really queasy so eat something when you take it. Your loud T should subside when the infection goes and your ear heals. Important thing is you got on it right away. Like Yonkapin said, prednisone might not be a bad idea but don't...

...the hell I'm in. They just tell me it will get better. It seems my new tone actually hurts because it’s piercing. Just wish I knew what caused it. 7 doses of Augmentin for pneumonia is doubtful based on its makeup. Allergies not sure either. But just on here to vent and says that it...

...and I’ve been in a spike for almost 3 weeks now. I know the pollen is high. But the ringing is in my good ear as well. I had to take some Augmentin a few weeks back for pneumonia but since it is 87% amoxicillin all the resources pointed to it being safe. I’m just struggling like everyone...

Antibiotics aren't kind to the ears. My T spiked from Cipro and Augmentin 6 months ago and it hasn't improved.

...especially not without actually examining you myself. There are just too many variables. My suggestion would be to complete the course of Augmentin (yes, it's safe), and then if your symptoms persist or recur, seek the advice of an ENT in person (rather than on-line) so that he or she will...

I am no ENT, but I don't know if sinus infections can go away without antibiotics. I understand your feeling towards Augmentin. I will never touch that med ever again. Possibly your ENT can give you another med, that can be helpful for your infection. The goal is to make sure that, the infection...

...bone and head and neck with and without contrast. This one also recommended 10 days of Cipro which I was reluctant to take so I have taken Augmentin the last 6 days as an alternative.. Any advice on procedure preference? Is there any doctor recommendations for Colorado? Thank you!! Margaret...

...also went to my good ear. I can also feel pain and the only way I can describe it is some fluid or wax moving around. I took some Augmentin and it seems to have started then but stopped after 6 pills. Because I got concerned and did not know if the drug had to do with spike. I am in...

What's the Scopalamine for? Do you get nausea on Augmentin? I had a rare and serious reaction to Scopalamine but it was 100% reversible when I took the patch off. I had violent hallucinations and extreme agitation. I thought I had suddenly gone psychotic after some sort of anesthetic / oxygen...

...of worn-out or damaged DNA cells like cancer cells. Now I am taking all this shit for my acoustic trauma and followed by what is weird Augmentin ototoxicity and next followed by Doxy ototoxicity and neurolyme caused by garini burgdorferi which I had got before all this mess and which...

I have had horrible experiences on BOTH Levaquin and Augmentin, and refuse to touch them again. Possibly ask your doctor for another medication. The hard part is this, if our lives depend on it, sometimes we have to take a medication that will help us and take care of the major issue we are...

...antibiotics were you on and for how long? Both antibiotics and Advil are known tinnitus culprits. My T increase was the result of Cipro and Augmentin, and I'm now pretty convinced the spike is here to stay. I've also been on antibiotics with no problem before. My theory is that the...

...now, i recently had a monster spike after a dose of amoxillin due to a dental infection. I also read two anecdotal accounts of people getting T spikes on amoxillin on a Dutch forum, plus: http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/is-augmentin-ototoxic/ Be careful with antibiotics, they mess up your...

...mid January that started out with some headaches and jaw/ear pain for which I thought was a sinus infection. I went to urgent care and got Augmentin and about 5-6 days later the ringing started and I had for what the ENT told me fluid in my inner ear. I have taken Augmentin before for sinus...

man I've got like half of that stuff.

...to a manageable level (2 out of 10). About every year around flu season I tend to get another ear infection in the same ear and have taken Augmentin and Prednisone, and it clears it up and doesn't cause the tinnitus to become any better or any worse. Well just 2 days ago I woke up with my...

I think antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. I've never heard of other uses. Some antibiotics are known to be ototoxic, so it's important to talk to your doctor about it, but also to research it on your own (don't just blindly trust doctors: do your own research). Ototoxicity...

...and I’ve developed slight hearing loss, fullness of ears and sensitivity to sounds. I’ve been to see doctors a few times. They gave me Augmentin, Flonase, Prednisone, Sudafed and nothing has helped. They just said I possibly have ETD. I feel like things are getting worse. I’m beyond...

Augmentin / amoxicillin. I am not a doctor and my personal experience shouldn't be taken as medical advice. I think antibiotics in general are over used and I barely ever take them, but if I have something like a nasty puncture would from a dirty truck trailer and the ER doc says "taking these...

...because it depends of what kind of bacterial infection you have, and you just can't be prepared for everything! But to try to answer your question, if I were to choose one, that would be Augmentin. By the way, how's your hair situation these days? Feel free to post in the "Photo Album"...

...any problems. Vancomycin is the big one to avoid., you mentioned you are taking penicillin Which for the most part is ok. I have taken augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulinic acid)and it has not made a Difference in my tinnitus. There are three major factors in medication ototoxicity. 1) the...

...and then 4 doses of Cipro after the procedure. My tinnitus spiked a few weeks ago at the time of a sinus infection. I was given Augmentin and everytime I would lake it in a couple hours the Tinnitus would get loud. After a few days the Tinnitus was almost constant and at that point I...

...went from 2 doctors saying I had a bulging eardrum to now having a retracted eardrum? What gives? According to him he doesn't like giving Augmentin because from his experience it doesn't get the most common ear infection bacteria, don't know how true this is. I explained to him if he can...

...turned into a sinus infection that then traveled to my ears. Before the tinnitus started, I went to the doctor and got a prescription for Augmentin (I think the dosage was 875 mg 2x a day for 10 days). The tinnitus itself started about two weeks ago at about 11 pm seemingly out of nowhere; it...

I'm with you mate. 2 weeks on a huge spike, and a vibrating ear! I know what it's like. And came on here just to vent the other day.

...to steroids. The only time I took antibiotics was at the beginning of my ear fullness (had no hearing loss at the time), and it was for a suspected ear infection (I took Augmentin 500mg for about 10 days) but that was it. The only medication I was continuously on was Prednisone and...

Yes. That is a common dosage for these antibiotics. Amoxicillin and Augmentin is the safest, followed by Doxycycline. But it depends what the treatment is for as they are often both used for different infections and not always interchangeable. These are not ototoxic, but like all antibiotics...

...- The "good" news is you are currently sick, and there is a good chance that T will go away once everything clears up. You're still on the Augmentin I assume, which is the oral antibiotic, so you're at least fighting bacteria that could be causing issues in your ear. The "bruised ear drum"...

...If its just fluid and no infection they will most likely give you nose sprays. If its an middle ear infection ask for Amoxicillin Or Augmentin which is a little more potent than just amox. If they give you nose sprays, ask for a drug called Dymista. Its basically flonase with an added...

...I have had Tinnitus since September 2016. I had a sudden hearing loss followed by an ear infection. The ENT prescribed me antibiotics (Augmentin) and Tinnitus started on the second day of antibiotics. After some CT Scans and MRIs I was diagnosed with a Cholesteatoma. I had a canal wall up...

...noted mild hearing loss on after visit summary. My ENT is concerned about the asymmetry. Since I didn't have a hearing test prior to taking Augmentin and Vancomycin it can be proven that I am a victim of ototoxicity but it seems that I would have had some signs of hearing loss specifically...

An MRI is really really loud. And many people on these forums reported that it damaged their hearing. If you go for an MRI carry earmuffs (without any metal on them) and earplugs too.

It's always a trade-off: if you don't take the meds, you are also risking a spike, and perhaps much worse (infections can do quite a lot of damage). I would personally not let an infection flourish if I can help it.

...pressure and pain/fullness in my ears. I went to urgent care and said that I have fluid in my ears and sinusitis. I was prescribed augmentin and am on day 4 of my 10 day dose. I woke up this morning with very little ringing in my ears but when I move my head it starts up. When I...

I really hate it when ENTs say a persons hearing is normal for their age range and brush hearing loss off if there actually is any. Just because a persons hearing is normal for their age doesn’t mean there isn’t any loss or that it shouldn’t be treated or looked into.

Thanks but I don't know if I have allergies. I've tried Zyrtec and it doesn't do anything. Stopped because it can do ear damage when I looked it up. Is Dymista still better?

...thing probably wasn't the best idea during a cold and that could have lead to the infection. Was put on 2 pills/day for 7 day course of Augmentin antibiotic. Infection seems to have cleared up. No increase or decrease in T. I have ordered these Vibes decibel canceling ear plugs. I have been...

...the drill well! Antibiotics are not always ear friendly. I had a major T spike and developed mild hyperacusis after taking Cipro and Augmentin a few months ago. That said, bladder infections if left unchecked can develop into something more serious (I know because I took antibiotics for...

...and cephalosporines are the safest for us. But some people report problems even with them. For example, you will find a lot of scary stories here on Tinnitus Talk about Augmentin. It is Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid. Some people believe that Clavulanic acid is to blame for the tinnitus.

I’ve been on Augmentin but it’s been 7 days out of the 10 prescribed and the infection is lingering. I’m a little worried because may have to go back and be changed. Not sure what antibiotics are safe for tinnitus. Is there a list?

...sounds like a high pitch loud soft eeeee. It started in January. I'm not sure what caused it. I had an infection in my right ear, I took Augmentin at that time and was eventually diagnosed with TMJ on my right side as I experienced a lot of facial pain. I have had 3 audiograms and all are...

Hi just wondering how you got on with the doctor regarding your ear infection? Did the antibiotics clear it up? A

...you could have fluid in your ears like mine and it definitely made my tinnitus spike!!! So it could be the antibiotics or infection, hard to tell. Augmentin (amoxicillin-clauvate) didn’t spike mine. Just the ear infection itself. Sorry that you’re not feeling well or it’s not working for you :(

I’m on augmentin right now (amoxicillin-clav 875-125mg) for ten days. Currently on day five. This infection is kicking my butt! I still have an infection in my left ear (though it’s gotten a little better) and last night my right ear wanted to join the party. I took anti-inflammatories and it...

...cold/flu and no otitis media. Are there any of you that experienced such a case and what did you do? Treatment? There are so many options, and also the option to do nothing. Are there people that started Augmentin, or predisone to unclogg ears? Kind to hear what you guys think of it and did.

...diagnosed with TMJ/TMD which noted can cause tinnitus as well. According to 3 tests via ENT's my hearing is fine for my age. I also took Augmentin at that time but I do not suspect that is my cause. I am 3 months into TMJ split therapy and may have seen some pain benefits but not for...

...tobramycin drops and advil. But who knows. Im here now. So im dealing with my G.P. and he will give me what i ask for I just dont know what to request. Too many stories on here about augmentin and others so i am searching for least likely to cause a spike or worse. I know there are no...

@Bleep thank you and yes I believe mine was Ototoxic as well either from Augmentin (it started around the time I started the antibiotic) or Ibuprofen that I was taking daily twos before onset (but I’ve been taking ibuprofen my whole life with no issue) however I also took the zpack (2 pills) a...

I could be wrong, but do you think it started very soon after you came off of your Zoloft? Also, how long did it take you to come off the drug?

We don't choose, what comes our way. We simply deal with things and move forward. Life throws us tons of lemons and for sure I'll be opening multiple lemonade shops.

Have they tried Augmentin Duo on you yet? Amoxicillin & Clavulanic Acid, http://www.mydr.com.au/medicines/cmis/augmentin-duo-forte-tablets This is what I usually get prescribed when I have an infection, it is significantly more effective than just Amoxicillin alone and I've used it 3 times now...

I took one of the supposedly non-ototoxic antibiotics (Augmentin) which spiked my T last summer, and the spike is still with me several months later. On top of that, I've developed mild hyperacusis and reactive T. Needless to say, it's not been a fun few months for me though I'm coping better...
