Hi d3n, it's nice to hear from you. I'm so sorry to hear that you acquired tinnitus this way. It's a really stressful, uncomfortable place to be early on, and it's frustrating that doctors continue to prescribe this medication and cause this problem for people. (We could talk at length about why...

Hi Craig, Thanks so much for reaching out! Hearing about your experience is really validating actually. I've been examined by two ENTs now, and both insist that the possibility of the Neomycin drops causing tinnitus is extremely unlikely, citing my intact ear drums. But like you, I can't...

I'm so, so, sorry to hear that you're experiencing something similar. I know what you mean about enjoying bars, concerts, and parties, and man to have a hearing issue like this at 21 must be really hard.
