Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had adverse effects from Artemisia Annua? I have long COVID-19, and I know someone who said he cured his long COVID-19 with it. But I have read it can be ototoxic. I have read that many of its issues probably come from the Thujone content. I am going to try...

It's caused hearing loss in some people! I don't know if I'm being paranoid but apart from my tinnitus increasing in my right ear there seems to be a change in hearing in both ears. I hope it's not otoxicity from the Augmentin. If it is, hopefully it will lessen with time. I'm just trying to...

Cheers for the info

Initially that's what I thought but there are more recent accounts of Augmentin having the potential to be quite ototoxic. Anyway, yes I will have to get my hearing checked at some point. I do have high frequency loss in my right ear, I think it may have got worse over the years. I will...

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing ok during this pandemic. I just wanted to get any thoughts or knowledge on whether it is worth trying to take antioxidants once you have had an ototoxic drug (once the course has finished). I usually take NAC with antibiotics or it's at least the plan but I...

Hi nogood, Thanks for your reply. Sorry I forgot to mention the antibiotic was for a wisdom tooth infection prescribed by my dentist. I did my research and weighed up the risks (I knew ototoxicity could be a potential side effect of the Metronidazole) but based on available evidence it seemed...

Anyone not going to offer any advice then?

My hyperacusis is quite bad since the antibiotic. New tinnitus sounds are here as well. Will Prednisone work for ototoxicity? Or is it only for when the cochlea is inflamed from a virus or something? I asked my GP for it but she refused.

Hi, I took Metronidazole a week ago (200mg 3 times a day for 3 days). It has caused my existing tinnitus to get worse and has also bought about some new sounds in my ears. I'm hoping it's just a spike and will soon go down. I was prescribed Bethistine for another problem with my ear but I'm...
