    Increased Tinnitus, Ear Pain and Fullness Following Airbag Deployment

    I've had mild tinnitus since 2021 after a high antibiotic course, but was pretty habituated to it. This last Saturday I was t-boned by another vehicle on my passenger side (no one with me), and it deployed the passenger airbags, about 5 feet from my right ear (which is the ear I has mild...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Did they control for age and pre-existing conditions though? Most people who are 4x vaxxed now are older or had chronic health conditions (which may be explaining the hospitalizations).

    Can Magnesium Make Tinnitus Worse?

    This is interesting. I have the same issues with Magnesium and Vitamin C, and found my tinnitus increases when I take Vitamin D as well (but not as bad when I take it with Vitamin K). I wonder if that's a cortisol link too. I thought too much cortisol was what linked to more inflammation, not...

    Tinnitus After Amoxicillin, Habituated — Now a Recent Spike After THC (Marijuana) — Feeling Hopeless

    I've had pretty manageable low grade tinnitus for about a year and a half but I've noticed it's been getting worse over the last several months since having acid reflux, chronic bowel issues and taking Famotidine. My reflux feels mostly well controlled by the medication and diet, but still have...

    Omicron isn't milder for unvaccinated. Those reports are only in those who are vaccinated or had COVID-19 prior.

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Excuse my ignorance, but isn't Novavax similar to Johnson and Johnson, which is known to cause tinnitus? I'm not sure how Novavax would be much safer than the alternatives.

    Ways to Combat Tinnitus Side Effects from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    Update - I got the first Pfizer dose six weeks ago. No tinnitus change thankfully but I've had relentless acid reflux since and muscle weakness / heart racing issues. Was so worried about tinnitus I didn't even think about other side effects! Jury's still out on whether I will get (or be able...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    Have any of you gotten your Vitamin D levels checked? There are a number of research articles suggesting that low Vitamin D is linked to severity of symptoms from COVID-19 infection due to hyperinflammatory responses. I wonder since there's a theory around hyperinflammation being what might be...

    Don't Take Vitamin D If You Have Tinnitus!

    I also noticed an increase in tinnitus with taking Vitamin D 5000 IUs for just a couple of days. However it's not because of toxicity because I'm pretty low in Vitamin D (I'm at 24). For some reason, I don't have these same issues when I'm out in the sun for awhile... I'm not sure else how to...

    Hi ampumpkin, I saw your post about the covid vaccine and you seemed to be in a similar boat as me (my tinnitus is also caused by antibiotics which has made me anxious to put other drugs in my body.) How are you doing tinnitus wise?

    Hi FGG - you're the only other person I've found on here who got bad, distortion type tinnitus from Azithromycin and I've been really scared to get the COVID-19 vaccine because of all the things people have been saying. I was wondering if you happened to get it or have an input on how to lower...

    Ways to Combat Tinnitus Side Effects from COVID-19 Vaccine?

    I've seen a lot of people post on here about a spike or onset of tinnitus following COVID-19 vaccine and since this is also a complication of COVID-19 itself, I thought it might be useful for us to create a discussion on ways to reduce risk of this side effect from the vaccine so we don't feel...

    Will You Get Vaccinated for Coronavirus (COVID-19)? Can It Make Tinnitus or Hyperacusis Worse?

    I'm curious to hear if anyone on here had originally antibiotic induced tinnitus? I wonder if cause of tinnitus impacts how you'll respond to the vaccine.

    Vitamin Supplement (Nicotinamide Riboside) Successfully Prevents Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

    I appreciate you posting this. I also took Azithromycin 1000 mg tablet three months ago and developed tinnitus after. So it can still be damaging my ear? Is there anything that can be done to protect from further damage? This is scary... :(

    Terrible Tinnitus; Suspecting Ototoxicity from Polydexa (Neomycin and Polymyxin B)

    Wish I had known about Prednisone for otoxocity. I got ototoxicity from using Azithromycin back in August, saw my ENT in September. He brought it up as an option but was hesitant to prescribe because my hearing tests were normal (although I had some small loss at high frequencies).

    Tinnitus After Amoxicillin, Habituated — Now a Recent Spike After THC (Marijuana) — Feeling Hopeless

    Hi - I am looking for some input as I'm struggling with a recent spike in tinnitus. I developed tinnitus/inner ear fluttering in my right ear after a one time dosage of Amoxicillin in August of this year, had never had tinnitus prior to that so pretty certain the Amoxicillin damaged my ears. ENT...

    Antibiotic Ototoxicity — Too Late for Antioxidants?

    I got tinnitus from Amoxicillin, which is similar to Augmentin. Same experience you described with the ear fluttering. I started to habituate to it after a couple of months but then used a small amount of marijuana that triggered it again so I'm back at square one (I never had tinnitus from...
