    School Exams with Tinnitus

    I am taking the board exam to get my nursing license in three days and I am also super worried about this. I’m so worried that it’s going to negatively affect my performance. My tinnitus has gotten extremely worse within the past week and I have no idea what could have caused it, but I’m hoping...

    Tinnitus Caused by Minocycline and Spiked by Augmentin?

    Thank you so much for your reply! I will admit, it does make me feel better to hear that someone shares an experience similar to mine. I am sorry you are going through this. Was your tick bite able to be treated without Doxycycline? After I got tinnitus, my mom called my dermatologist and...

    Tinnitus Caused by Minocycline and Spiked by Augmentin?

    If you hadn’t noticed any changes yet, hopefully everything will be fine! And yes, I am so hesitant to take any new oral medication because of the risk of the tinnitus getting worse, let alone being worried about loud noise exposure anytime I go anywhere. It’s so hard to live like this.

    Tinnitus Caused by Minocycline and Spiked by Augmentin?

    Honestly, no :( But I have sort of been able to get used to it after several months.

    Worse Tinnitus After Going to Nightclub

    Thank you so much for your response, I definitely feel better after reading this! I am hoping that this just goes away or that I will be able to get used to it as I have before. I also am recovering from what I think was the flu and I do still have some congestion, so I’m not sure if that might...

    Worse Tinnitus After Going to Nightclub

    Hi all, So I turned 21 at the end of last month and went to a nightclub with my friends on the 9th of this month to celebrate. Long story short, it was insanely loud inside the club. Not only was there a DJ, but they were blasting cold air every so often which was super loud. I have had...

    Suicidal Because Noise from rTMS (140 dB!) Massively Worsened My Tinnitus and Caused Hearing Loss

    Hi Joe, I am so sorry to hear your story and it breaks my heart to read that you are contemplating suicide, although I too have experienced times where I thought to myself that it would just be so much easier if I were just dead. I’m not an expert or anything, but I would suggest trying a...

    Tinnitus Caused by Minocycline and Spiked by Augmentin?

    Thank you so much for responding. I’m not sure how to respond or if I’m doing this right, but hopefully you can see that I’ve replied to you. I don’t remember if I mentioned it but I was on Minocycline for my acne. It was prescribed to me by my dermatologist and I believe he prescribed me a 90...

    Tinnitus Caused by Minocycline and Spiked by Augmentin?

    Hi all, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right. But my name is Samantha. It was in 2019, right before the pandemic, that I developed tinnitus. I had been on an antibiotic for my acne (Minocycline) for a few months, when all of a sudden, when I lay on my left side one night and noticed a ringing...

    Augmentin Retard — Ototoxic? Safe for Someone with Tinnitus? Experiences?

    Taking Augmentin right now for a UTI. Augmentin has definitely made my tinnitus worse. I haven’t gotten a lot of sleep these past few days (I’ve been on it for 5 days now) and my anxiety is continuing to get worse. I’m just really hoping that it goes away once I’ve finished the course, in 5 days.
