    Rocephin (Ceftriaxone) — Ototoxic or Safe for Tinnitus Sufferers?

    Yes it went back to baseline. I don't think it was Ceftriaxone that caused the spike.

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    I don't know. I just got Elisa for Lyme. That was positive. Here in Bulgaria, we don't have panels for co-infections. I don't know what to do anymore. I am thinking of just ending it all.

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    Hi, I stopped taking Ceftin on the 10th day due to developing a severe tinnitus spike and now I have developed neuropathy, tingling in my hand and feet.

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    I don't believe herbs can help. I have tried herbs for my prostatitis and had 0 success. But also I am sure Ceftin will damage me further. How long did you take Ceftin for?

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    Very good question. What happened is I had to go and visit a doctor because I also have prostatitis. That's in a different city. My father lives near that city in a very beautiful place in the forest. He called and because he knows I have tinnitus recommend to stay with him as it is very quiet...

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    Thank you very much for your response. I had a tick bite a month ago. I have positive ELISA IgM. My doctor didn't run any further tests to confirm this result and said I should take Doxycycline or Clarithromycin. I had a bad experience with Doxycycline. I researched Clarithromycin but found it...

    I Think I Might Have Lyme Disease?

    Hi @DebInAustralia. I have severe tinnitus and I tested positive for Lyme disease. I had a spike from Doxycycline in the past when I was treating bacterial prostatitis. I take the same antibiotic for my Lyme Disease as you, Ceftin. I am extremely worried that it will make my tinnitus worse...

    My British Tinnitus Association (BTA) Helpline Experience

    Yes, I also had a very bad experience with the British Tinnitus Association. They don't do us any good. Spending money on tinnitus management via meditation is not worth it. I don't even know why they still exist. Maybe the poor people donate some money in a hope that they will spend it on...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    It is hard, it is very hard. If only I could go back in time and change my mind not to have the MRI. This MRI took away from me my family, my job and my life. Since 27th June 2018 immediately after this shitty MRI the nightmare started for me. I don't know about how bad your tinnitus is, but...

    OK, it looks like you haven't done your own research or you don't want to do it. Here is a documented case of MRI causing hearing loss. If it doesn't convince you, I will find you more documented cases. There is no doubt that MRI can cause hearing loss. But if you don't want to believe it...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    As said it's not just me. I have spoken to two more people that have it bad from the MRI and all of us were using earplugs. They said they have been exposed to much louder sounds with no issues but the MRI, although not as loud, caused a permanent spike in tinnitus. If you do your research here...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    There is definitely something more than noise in the MRI. Before I have done it I was exposed to much louder sounds with no issues. But the MRI was a game changer. It is completely different tinnitus what I have from it. It is always evolving. Everyday sounds make it spike permanently. And I am...

    Things People Say When You Tell Them You Have Tinnitus

    That's not all of it. I have chronic prostatitis now and I am in pain every day. Painkillers make my tinnitus worse. I can't take anything for pain. Then I need to be on a long course of antibiotics, Doxycycline or Ciprofloxacin (both can cause or worsen tinnitus). I can't take any of them. I...

    MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Discussion & Experiences & Questions

    I had an MRI in 2018. I can honestly say it was one of my biggest regrets in my life. It made my pre-existing tinnitus 100 times worse. What I mean by worse is tinnitus that's so reactive that everyday sounds make it spike permanently. Driving will spike it permanently, talking will spike it...

    What Is Your Impression of Tinnitus Research?

    Shouldn't these people advocate and fight for a cure then? They don't spend all day in bed. They can function. Why don't they do anything? Can you imagine if each person with tinnitus said "enough is enough, I need to do something about it, I need to change something. I don't want to learn to...

    What Is Your Impression of Tinnitus Research?

    Yes, there is, giving you an example of HIV/AIDS. It was all awareness and advocating in the beginning mostly by the HIV positives. If these people had not been that united at the start of the epidemic, I don't think we would today see AIDS as a chronic disease instead of a death sentence. But...

    Contact the ATA Right Now — 3 Minutes to Make a Difference

    The BTA and the ATA are two organizations that are corrupt and compete useless in finding a cure for tinnitus. They should not exist. Wouldn't it be nice if the money they receive was being directly donated to one of the researchers like professor Josef Rauschecker who is also lacking funding.

    What Is Your Impression of Tinnitus Research?

    The truth is that tinnitus sufferers are waiting for someone to magically come and solve their problem. Tinnitus patients should be more proactive. They should advocate and donate. But you won't see them do that. They come here to complain, cry, and if they get better disappear and don't want...

    Urgent! For UTI, What Antibiotics Are Safe to Take with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis?

    Penicillins and cephalosporines are the safest for us. But some people report problems even with them. For example, you will find a lot of scary stories here on Tinnitus Talk about Augmentin. It is Amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid. Some people believe that Clavulanic acid is to blame for the...

    Yes my tinnitus is very reactive and when I use my hearing aids the tinnitus seems to be trying to be on the top of any sound. Very weird, it is hard to even explain it. I have high frequency hearing loss, it starts at 4 kHz all the way to 8 kHz. The biggest gap is at 8 kHz - 70 dB hearing loss...
