    Tinnitus Is Back :(

    ...over a week without taking anything else and the T (or at least my perception of it) got a little better. A different doctor gave me Augmentin (another antibiotic) for my UTI. After just 1 dose which I took the other day, my T spiked even further and has not gone back down. It sounds like a...

    Hello from QLD Australia. New to this.

    ...dizziness and not sleeping well, but I think it was from either the ear infection itself or the antibiotic they put me on to get rid of it (Augmentin). I joined TT and read that caffeine can make T worse, so I quit caffeine cold turkey (which was maybe not the best idea), so also had...

    Worried!

    ...who have tinnitus. Your tinnitus is in the left ear, the hearing loss was measured in the left ear... not a coincidence, I think. Augmentin seems to be amoxicillin. Antibiotics can cause hearing loss / tinnitus. But, amoxicillin is one of the antibiotics that should be quite safe to the...

The doctor prescribed augmentin, which I hadn't had before but it seemed to cure it. A little over a month ago I had another atypical sinus infection, this time localized on my...

    Sudden Onset Tinnitus in One Ear

    ...he can see some fluid behind the eardrums still. I told him I had finished a course of amoxicillin, so he prescribed something he called "Augmentin" (http://www.drugs.com/augmentin.html) which is a mix of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium.

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm slowly eating again now, but I haven't dared touching coffee, and have only really been drinking water which is good. I see my ENT in a couple of hours. Mainly for a hearing test and such to see the extent of damage as I know T is most likely permenant. I've been...

    New Member — Positive Benzo Withdrawal Stories?

    Your story sounds a lot like mine. Unfortunately, intercranial pressure cannot always be seen on an MRI. I've had a few, and only several years later after having a lumbar puncture, did I find out that my pressure is elevated. I too was taking minocycline for acne when my pulsatile tinnitus...

    Your story is truly heartbreaking, and I am so sorry you are going through this. Nobody deserves to have to endure tinnitus. I know it seems hopeless, but there is still hope. I have battled with tinnitus on three occasions in the last 15 years or so, all from acoustic trauma. The first two...

    You are obviously someone putting forward a real effort in trying to "get better". It is beyond me to comment on most of what you have written (ie. it is all "medical stuff"); there a few doctors on this board you could ask, however (Dr. Nagler, Dr. Ancill, and possibly one or two others). But...
