...and am reading that asymptomatic UTI should NOT be treated which angers me even more. Is what's frustrating is that I've taken both Cipro and Augmentin before with no problems. My thinking is that ototoxicity is cumulative and they've just cut through my ears' tolerance level similar to sound.

Hello yonkapin I am dilshaad. Im suffering from tinnitus since two months. I got it due to antibiotics augmentin which was precribed due to otitis media an infection ib my ear. I would like to ask you do you work? Do you wear earplugs at work? Apart from not going to loud places did you take...

...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...

...my right ear only and have right side TMJ. It started in January with facial pain which I thought was a sinus infection. I started taking Augmentin (as have done before), then got tinnitus about 5 days later and inner right ear fluid. Fluid cleared up, then my jaw pain started to take off...

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.

...hear it in my house because it is quiet. I can’t hear it at work or driving or outside. I immediately went to see my GP and got a Rx for Augmentin because we thought I had middle ear infection. I finished the course. Tinnitus is still here. I finally got an appointment to see an ENT. She...

...Until yesterday. I caught a cold from my son, and it turned into a sinus infection and ear infection (right ear). I'm on day 2 of Augmentin, and my tinnitus spiked like crazy last night. My right ear is full and painful, and my tinnitus has moved from being an "irritation" to a full-blown...

@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. At first I blamed a lumbar puncture I had in the ER on 12/8 because I...

...my tinnitus is related to my TMJ. Started out with headache, jaw pain and ear fullness In January, I thought was sinus infection. Went on Augmentin, then about 5 days later got tinnitus with a really bad clogged right ear. Not sure if tinnitus was related to Augmentin, have taken before. ENT...

...completely sure. I am guessing. My sequence was I was having sinus headache and jaw pain in January and went to urgent care and was put on Augmentin which I have taken before. About 5 days later the ringing started and I developed fluid in my right ear. My facial pain continued to get worse...

...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? What do you think Dr. Nagler? Thanks in advance for your...

...you follow the instructions they give you for post-operative care, the pain of the infection was brutal. Anyway had to go on an antibiotic, augmentin duo (amoxcillin + clavulanate), which I've been on a few times now and never have any problems with in regard to tinnitus. Also had to take a...

...and it looks so severe the doctor says I should be prepared for a ruptured ear drum (never happens thankfully). They give me a course of Augmentin and discharge me, and ask I return back after the course. -I see my ENT three days later. He inspects my ears and sees nothing. He takes a...

...So mild, I wasn’t using any OTC treatments. Well. I developed a left ear infection (bad) as well as pink eye in both eyes. I’ve been on Augmentin for 5 of the ten day course. Today I visited my GP and was informed I have infected ear and both have fluid behind ear drum. I am instructed to...

Thank you for replying @Brittany95. It is nice hearing from someone that may be going through what I’m going through. I honestly couldn’t bring myself to respond any sooner than this because this past week has really taken a toll on me. I feel as though my infection is going away, but I still...

...loss -The little hearing that I have is distorted I've done the following: -Intratympanic injection dexamethasone -A course of Valtrex and Augmentin -Currently on a course of a potassium sparing diuretic, only the first day I cannot go on steroid IV because of my adrenals, in fact that's...

...Tuesday, go to different doctor on Thursday, diagnosed with sinus infection that is worse on right side, get stronger antibiotic called Augmentin which makes it a lot better. It has now been 5 days since taking the new antibiotic and there is still a very high pitched ringing that's worse in...

...an allergic reaction to one of the drugs prescribed. Was seen in urgent care 3 times before able to see primary doctor. Given Zythromax, Augmentin, Valtrex, and prednisone. Also ear drops and told to take over the counter medicine Mucinex. My tinnitus is a buzzing sound, like wet...

...before. My first symptoms were a headache, jaw and ear pain for which I thought it was my annual sinus infection. Went to urgent care got Augmentin and 5 days later had tinnitus. Not sure the Augmentin caused it though, have taken before and it is pretty common I think. I am 52 and have had...

...system gave up and I ended up with a bad flu and then, afterwards, just after I got better... idk how its called... quinsy? And I was given Augmentin which screwed my ears pretty bad and gave me new sounds (horrible! I texted my boyfriend in the middle of the night scared to death. BTW These...

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...

...after looking for about 2 minutes. He prescribed me, in his words, a "shotgun regimen" of antibiotics: AmoxClav (pretty sure same thing as Augmentin) 875 mg twice daily, also gave me Tylenol 3s and Zopiclone for sleeping. During my insomniac hours, I feverishly cruised these forums and other...

...the doctor about my tinnitus and how I was suspect of any antibiotic that ends in "...mycin" and was also nervous about clavulanic acid in Augmentin. She prescribed me a 10 day dose of regular Amoxicillin. I took that with NAC and made it through the dose without any spikes. It felt...

...stressed and lost a lot of weight. Seen an ENT in Coronado on a Sunday, opened just for me, saw pus in middle ear on right side. Gave me Augmentin, was on for 5 days, same crap, went to urgent care, gave me some antibiotic shot in hip and a PAC since my ear drums were red have 3 more doses to...

I'm sure you'll be fine. I've never heard of a sinus infections causing permanent Tinnitus. Probably will fade completely in a few weeks (IMO)

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...

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...

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...

...but mostly water buildup behind my eardrum which has indeed began yet again this past week, water behind eardrum.....ugh! Have been on Augmentin for 9 days now and have gone from the occasional to constant.... not ringing....whine! It's driving me nuts! When reading a thread here someone...

...2 months or so but now I’m just kidding myself. It’s bad . Really fucking bad. I’ll mention also that I posted before that one ENT gave me Augmentin/Prednisone for crazy inflammation she saw, which worked wonders for like 3 days. I was near silence. Then it all came roaring back, even though...

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...

...(and I am lucky to be within 25% of people that carry staph in the nose). I was thinking infection / inflammation so I tested 2 weeks of Augmentin 2g/day AND chirotherapy. Maybe it worked, maybe the healing was "natural" (so placebo) but the tinnitus very significantly improved to almost...

...used to. I got it on a Wednesday and went to urgent care on Saturday. The doctor (nurse) said it was probably an infection and gave me Augmentin and Neomycin drops. About 3 days later, not feeling much better, I went back to urgent care. This time the doctor gave me a steroid injection...

...place. I have had all of the many hearing tests and the Dr said I have no hearing loss. On top of this I have a sinus infection and chose augmentin which wasn't considered ototoxic.. This has become my obsession. What is most confusing is on this site people are getting trigger point...

...room and because I've noticed that on and off in the past I didn't really think twice about it. After my second cold the doctor gave me Augmentin because I felt my ears were full and some pain. This made the ringing worse and it's stayed this level since then which was two weeks ago. I...

Did your tinnitus return to baseline?

...is not responsible for your tinnitus spike. Be especially careful with antibiotics, including antibiotic ointments. As far as I know, only Augmentin and Amoxicillin are regarded as generally safe among the more frequently prescribed antibiotics. I had the bad luck of applying a...

...nose/sinuses. She said this was spreading into my Eustachian tubes and causing my tinnitus, most likely. I got prescribed Prednisone and Augmentin. The first day of taking it, I felt AMAZING. The noises had reduced by like 80% and I just had some hissing in my left ear. I was really near...

...the first time I took them, but that was it. A couple weeks after that went to the ENT who said I still had fluid in the ear and gave me augmentin. But that didn't help much and some days it felt worse. I went back but he did another tympannsometry that showed that the medicine did help. He...

A few weeks ago, I had a Sinus Infection. Went to a Doctor, and was prescribed Augmentin for 10 days. Afterwards, everything was fine for a couple wekks, but I started to have some pressure and pain in my ear. Went back to the Doctor, who said I have an outer ear infection. They prescribed...

...reading all the threads online and took myself to doctor in the evening. He said the left ear looked a bit red and inflamed and prescribed augmentin for a week. It's been 4 days now and I'm very depressed. Everything in my life was going great and I was getting so excited about the future...

Lipo-flavenoids might help some, but I haven't seen great reviews for it. I even gave it a try myself and it did nothing for my tinnitus. I hate it when DRs don't own up to it, that meds can cause tinnitus and even make it worst. I took an antibiotic for a possible sinus infection about 2...

For how long did you take Clonazepam? Did your tinnitus improve after tapering down from Clonazepam?

...about my T, I've had it for over a decade now. It was originally noise-induced but was made worse from antibiotics, specifically Cipro and Augmentin. I was diagnosed with an infection about a month ago and given antibiotics. I was very reluctant to take them at first because I was worried...

...up again. He said he could see wax/something on my ear drum but didn't want to remove it as my ear drum seemed swollen. He prescribed me Augmentin 625mg for an infection and said to get them cleaned when the infection has gone. The short of it is, I am terrified there is permanent damage...

...the bathroom). I also had hearing loss and the hissing got louder whenever some constant sound happened (faucet running, for example). Was given steroids, augmentin, and neomycin drops (also had otitis externa but the doc said it would also help for the om) around two weeks to completely go away.

It's all pretty f'd up; I had pelvic pain and UTI symptoms last year which turned out to just be muscle tension (probably compounded by nerve irritation from messing with Trobalt...) -- I was pretty sure it wasn't an infection but my PCP who in general is a good doctor really wanted me to take...

...side effects hit me, and I stopped taking the drug. After a week, the volume seemed to go down a little bit. The doctor then had me try Augmentin which I had read was much more easy on the ears. After one pill of 625 mg my T spiked again and was louder than the spike with the Cipro and...

...and I was having terrible pressure in my left ear. I went back to the doctor and I had a ear infection and sinus infection. They put me on augmentin. I finished those and went back in because I still wasn't feeling well. They diagnosed me with Eustachian tube dysfunction (something I've...

...I had all the signs of a sinus infection (I have had a few in the past). One of the symptoms was a fullness feeling in my ear. I was given Augmentin and felt better except for the ear fullness. Mid-March: Since I still had ear fullness I tried over the counter ear drop removal (Debrox)...

...stress at work.. had to fly. So flied with flu and ears closed. When back to home country, had ear pain. Doc said otitis media gave me Augmentin and a high dose of Ibuprofen. Then tinnitus started and never stopped. 3. Had also changed seating places at work since february 2016. Could not...

Are you certain your tinnitus was caused by sinus issues and not noise? I would advise you not to use any in-ear maskers. When I first got tinnitus I would use my ear buds to listen to music to drown my tinnitus out and it made it worse. Even listening at low levels. Unfortunately, I had to stop...

...concerts in my 20s but it's NEVER been a continuous high-pitched ringing like I have now. In mid October I was prescribed five days of Augmentin for prophylaxis. A couple of days after my last dose I got pretty severe C Diff with colitis and was prescribed 10 days of oral Vancomycin. About...

...I had a raging middle ear infection, and also told me I have some of the smallest ear canals he’s ever seen in his career. He prescribed me Augmentin to get rid of the ear infection, but I am extremely worried after reading some of these threads that the antibiotics might make it worse. I am...

...I went to urgent care, she saw that I had an ear infection on my right ear (Though the ringing is louder in my left) She prescribed me with Augmentin, and told me to start taking it in 2 days. I started to take it yesterday, and I did feel somewhat better. There was some live music playing at...

...started suffering from all kinds of ear issues. She had a suspected ear infection in September 2020 and was treated with antibiotics, Augmentin to be precise. After that she says her ears have NEVER been the same. She has severe allergy issues. She is allergic to all tree pollens in texas...

the cillins are considered safe and non ottotoxic.. It could just be the actual infection causing any issues not the anti bitotics

...from the one I had before - this one is amoxycillin/clavulanic acid and also the Forte, or stronger dose. From what I read it is similar to Augmentin and clavulanic acid is a type of penicillin. Would this still be safe for me to take? I have taken one and funnily enough my T has been a bit...

...not the best, but I do exercise. Point is, get my blood pressure on track. She started me on steroids for 6 days, and a 10 day antibiotic (Augmentin), to see if that resolves the issue. I have scheduled CT scan of my temporals on 1/25/2021 to hopefully see what's up with an ear infection. I...

Hey. I do not think that this is the way to act. It is not so ototoxic. I do not believe in that. It is a modern antibiotic, which is prescribed even for children. But the amoeoglycosides, which are prescribed in our country in Russia, are yes. Type amikatsin, gentamicin, streptomycin. By the...
