    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Hey so one more update: the ear infection Is gone but the ringing remains. I am going to try to see an ENT tommorow to see what it is but the general practitions was a possibly either chronic tinnitus or otitis media. I dont know, but I'm not going to pay attention to the ringing at all or hope...

    Is Clindamycin Ototoxic?

    I have tried searching online and some sites don't say anything and other sites say it isn't. I have no idea if it is safe to take this for my ear infection.

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Hi! Today is the first day where the ringing got worse, I do not think it was the medication, but I cannot explain it. It got louder and it's harder to make it quieter. Any steps I can take to bring it back down if I can? Maybe patience? I have been laying down most of the day btw, with a 20...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Update: I noticed something good, the ringing has taken longer to get to its point that It does through the day. It took maybe 3-4 hours! Before it would take a messily 30 mind of being awake. Another boost of confidence that this is not permanent :) I am still being cautious and looking to find...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    So far, it's the second day of taking the meds and I haven't noticed the ringing getting worse, and me ear infection has stopped doing the popping that it does. For now I am believing it is just the cause of the ear infection. I will not know, though, until the ear infection is completely gone...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Also, my medicine for the ear infection can take 2-3 days before the symtoms begin to have a noticable difference of subsiding, so until then I will focus on not letting it bug me, which it really hasn't that bad since I've been on these forums and reading stories and advice.

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Okay I definitely wont forget this I'll keep this in mind this 4th of July and whenever we go mudding it shooting guns (yes, I live in the south lol) I'll wear ear plugs :) I definitely wouldn't want my T to get worse. Especially since the classroom Is always quiet.

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    I've had T for a long, long time. At the worst, in a dead silent room, it was a high pitched ring, very faint. It's never gotten worse either. The only time I would hear ringing worse than that is when I had an ear infection. Then the ear infection would go away and all would return to normal...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    I just turned the tv down about 10 notches, from 30 to 20 (not a very high level) and I can still drown it out and focus on the movie. I'm going to keep stepping it down maybe to prepare for the night

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Okay, I don't have a hearing aid so I can't do none of that, but if the ringing is slightly louder than the tv I can easily drown it out. Maybe I need to turn the tv down and see if I can still get the same affect. I'll post a reply soon One more thing, during the night I have slight insomnia...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Sorry if I messed up this reply, I hit quote I think that's what you're supposed to do. Anyways, my fan is not quite loud enough to fully drown out the sound, the low setting is relatively quiet. But the louder setting is a big step up and would be enough to fully drown out the sound. Since I've...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    I hear ya, I went outside today and just sat down and took in fresh air, then went for a walk. And yes also I have been noticing the ringing is something that happens with every ear infection i have, and so far its been acting as so, the ringing gets louder as the day goes on, but by night I...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    One more thing. I've had many ear infections like I've said in this post, and in every one my ears would ring during the infection then the ringing would subside as much as the ear infection subsided. I've always had narrow ear canals, which is why it's easy for me to get an ear infection like...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    They prescribed clindamycin, which is an antibiotic that is sometimes in my case used for bacterial infections that do not respond to weaker antibiotics. I am taking one 300mg pill 3 times a day and this medication isn't known at all to be of toxic. Like my last update, just on the road to...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    So far what I am feeling is the ringing that I presume is from the ear infection has been going down since my steroid shot. I feel like I just freaked out and in an effort to make myself feels better I went to the internet. I will reply in a week or two on an update but so far, i feel like my...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    I am at a doctors place right now, I'll tell them about my T and stuff but it really feels like a near infection because with my T it was never really a constant ringing. The ringing I could hear over stuff was only when I had an ear infection. It would fade in, ring, then fade out completely. I...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    It wasn't a ENT. I have been looking online and other people have had ear infections where amoxicillin didnt affect it. I've never had my T get worse before and I have had an uncountable different amounts and types of antibiotics in me in the past. I think my T might be a genetic thing because...

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    UPDATE: I recently had pain, and pressure form in my ear with popping. I may be overreacting and it may just be the same ear infection but it probably never went away fully. I may need to try a different antibiotic if it's a bacterial infection.

    Medically Worsened Tinnitus

    Hi! My name is Derek, I am 15 years old, and I have had tinnitus since I was very little. It was always very, very faint. Like the room had to be completely silent, like in a bathroom with no noise. I have had many ear infections, and have taken many different antibiotics over my lifetime...
