...who can perform and assessment on me and prescribe me the appropriate and safest medications. I didn’t end up taking the full course of Augmentin, I took half the course (10 pills over 5 days) when I decided I probably shouldn’t continue. I also was on Metoprolol at the time that I posted...

...tinnitus after finally habituating to my current tinnitus and having some success with Turmeric. I’m scared of the antibiotics, the anesthesia and the meds they will have me on as I believe my tinnitus may have been caused by Augmentin or The Z-Pack. Anyone have success with this surgery?

...apart from my tinnitus increasing in my right ear there seems to be a change in hearing in both ears. I hope it's not otoxicity from the Augmentin. If it is, hopefully it will lessen with time. I'm just trying to dose up on the antioxidants to try and fight the accumulation of the drug in...

Thank you .. I'm currently taking augmentin for my sinus infection. I wont even go into the side effects I have had on it so far. I get a massage once a week. It helps a lot.. immensely.. I just wanted to go another step. But I'm not sure with getting trigger point injections could increase...

Initially that's what I thought but there are more recent accounts of Augmentin having the potential to be quite ototoxic. Anyway, yes I will have to get my hearing checked at some point. I do have high frequency loss in my right ear, I think it may have got worse over the years. I will...

...the pass 5 days ive been taking my antibiotics for my ear and mt T was improving so much almost to the point of being gone but this morning i woke up with a loud T ive been taking augmentin is this the reason for my T im not going to take it anymore and im going to my...

...that point. Granted that I have allergies and am having surgery tomorrow. So I don’t know what it is at this point. I took 6 pills of augmentin a month ago for an infection and it's listed as safe. I have taken more potent antibiotics with no effect. I just don’t understand what’s going on.

@GregCA That is reassuring but Im mostly concerned with a T spike. There are a lot of people on here that report major spikes after augmentin. Im just really scared of which direction to go. So in other words im frozen in a fear state as its just 2 weeks in... thank you for the info i will...

@linearb Can it be this the cause of her ringing and not the Clonazepam?? How are you doing on it now? Once

The acute phase was rough. I barely left my house except to go to work or shop while I was going through it. Fortunately, it doesn’t stop me from doing anything now. I live my life exactly the same as I did before. I don’t think my hum is reactive, just spectacularly random. As I type this now...

...some balance issues. The fullness and balance problem went away, but the increase in volume of my T stayed with me. A month later I took Augmentin which contains amoxicillin which doubled the intensity of my T even further after just one dose. My T was the same for 12 years until the Cipro...

Hang in there, things should get better. Augmentin can make you really queasy so eat something when you take it. Your loud T should subside when the infection goes and your ear heals. Important thing is you got on it right away. Like Yonkapin said, prednisone might not be a bad idea but don't...

...on other classes of antibiotics, though. Cisplatin is retained indefinitely but I have yet to see that reported with any antibiotics. Augmentin is supposed to have less risk than other antibiotics but I never say never when it comes to ototoxicity because some thing are too rare to be...

I've taken Augmentin. It's the 3rd time I've taken it over the years. First time I took it few years ago I immediately got a clicking tinnitus in my ear so I stopped and switched antibiotics. The second time which was about 7 months ago I didn't get that reaction so I carried on. This...

Antibiotics aren't kind to the ears. My T spiked from Cipro and Augmentin 6 months ago and it hasn't improved.

...the hell I'm in. They just tell me it will get better. It seems my new tone actually hurts because it’s piercing. Just wish I knew what caused it. 7 doses of Augmentin for pneumonia is doubtful based on its makeup. Allergies not sure either. But just on here to vent and says that it...

...and I’ve been in a spike for almost 3 weeks now. I know the pollen is high. But the ringing is in my good ear as well. I had to take some Augmentin a few weeks back for pneumonia but since it is 87% amoxicillin all the resources pointed to it being safe. I’m just struggling like everyone...

Cheers for the info

...the night after a concert, of which there have been many), so I’m not similar to you there. But with having an ear infection, I was given Augmentin in December for ringing in my right ear only and was told “it should fade”. Come March, it had not entirely, and then the left started to ring...

I am no ENT, but I don't know if sinus infections can go away without antibiotics. I understand your feeling towards Augmentin. I will never touch that med ever again. Possibly your ENT can give you another med, that can be helpful for your infection. The goal is to make sure that, the infection...

...especially not without actually examining you myself. There are just too many variables. My suggestion would be to complete the course of Augmentin (yes, it's safe), and then if your symptoms persist or recur, seek the advice of an ENT in person (rather than on-line) so that he or she will...

...also went to my good ear. I can also feel pain and the only way I can describe it is some fluid or wax moving around. I took some Augmentin and it seems to have started then but stopped after 6 pills. Because I got concerned and did not know if the drug had to do with spike. I am in...

Yes, I wish I had never taken Prednisolone. I did my research, but some people said it helped them, which is why I decided to take it. If I had taken oral tablets instead, I don’t think it would have caused this many issues. The intravenous version completely messed me up. What should I do...

At my first visit to Urgent Care, the doctor prescribed Augmentin and Neomycin ear drops. I took them both for about a week, but had no change. I stopped taking them because they didn't help, and because I started learning about the possible ototoxicity of them. I also bought some homeopathic...

...of worn-out or damaged DNA cells like cancer cells. Now I am taking all this shit for my acoustic trauma and followed by what is weird Augmentin ototoxicity and next followed by Doxy ototoxicity and neurolyme caused by garini burgdorferi which I had got before all this mess and which...

I have had horrible experiences on BOTH Levaquin and Augmentin, and refuse to touch them again. Possibly ask your doctor for another medication. The hard part is this, if our lives depend on it, sometimes we have to take a medication that will help us and take care of the major issue we are...

...antibiotics were you on and for how long? Both antibiotics and Advil are known tinnitus culprits. My T increase was the result of Cipro and Augmentin, and I'm now pretty convinced the spike is here to stay. I've also been on antibiotics with no problem before. My theory is that the...

...now, i recently had a monster spike after a dose of amoxillin due to a dental infection. I also read two anecdotal accounts of people getting T spikes on amoxillin on a Dutch forum, plus: http://hearinglosshelp.com/blog/is-augmentin-ototoxic/ Be careful with antibiotics, they mess up your...

...bone and head and neck with and without contrast. This one also recommended 10 days of Cipro which I was reluctant to take so I have taken Augmentin the last 6 days as an alternative.. Any advice on procedure preference? Is there any doctor recommendations for Colorado? Thank you!! Margaret...

man I've got like half of that stuff.

I think antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections. I've never heard of other uses. Some antibiotics are known to be ototoxic, so it's important to talk to your doctor about it, but also to research it on your own (don't just blindly trust doctors: do your own research). Ototoxicity...

What's the Scopalamine for? Do you get nausea on Augmentin? I had a rare and serious reaction to Scopalamine but it was 100% reversible when I took the patch off. I had violent hallucinations and extreme agitation. I thought I had suddenly gone psychotic after some sort of anesthetic / oxygen...

...and I’ve developed slight hearing loss, fullness of ears and sensitivity to sounds. I’ve been to see doctors a few times. They gave me Augmentin, Flonase, Prednisone, Sudafed and nothing has helped. They just said I possibly have ETD. I feel like things are getting worse. I’m beyond...

...any problems. Vancomycin is the big one to avoid., you mentioned you are taking penicillin Which for the most part is ok. I have taken augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulinic acid)and it has not made a Difference in my tinnitus. There are three major factors in medication ototoxicity. 1) the...

Augmentin / amoxicillin. I am not a doctor and my personal experience shouldn't be taken as medical advice. I think antibiotics in general are over used and I barely ever take them, but if I have something like a nasty puncture would from a dirty truck trailer and the ER doc says "taking these...

...mid January that started out with some headaches and jaw/ear pain for which I thought was a sinus infection. I went to urgent care and got Augmentin and about 5-6 days later the ringing started and I had for what the ENT told me fluid in my inner ear. I have taken Augmentin before for sinus...

...turned into a sinus infection that then traveled to my ears. Before the tinnitus started, I went to the doctor and got a prescription for Augmentin (I think the dosage was 875 mg 2x a day for 10 days). The tinnitus itself started about two weeks ago at about 11 pm seemingly out of nowhere; it...

...and then 4 doses of Cipro after the procedure. My tinnitus spiked a few weeks ago at the time of a sinus infection. I was given Augmentin and everytime I would lake it in a couple hours the Tinnitus would get loud. After a few days the Tinnitus was almost constant and at that point I...

I'm with you mate. 2 weeks on a huge spike, and a vibrating ear! I know what it's like. And came on here just to vent the other day.

Yes. That is a common dosage for these antibiotics. Amoxicillin and Augmentin is the safest, followed by Doxycycline. But it depends what the treatment is for as they are often both used for different infections and not always interchangeable. These are not ototoxic, but like all antibiotics...

...- The "good" news is you are currently sick, and there is a good chance that T will go away once everything clears up. You're still on the Augmentin I assume, which is the oral antibiotic, so you're at least fighting bacteria that could be causing issues in your ear. The "bruised ear drum"...

...went from 2 doctors saying I had a bulging eardrum to now having a retracted eardrum? What gives? According to him he doesn't like giving Augmentin because from his experience it doesn't get the most common ear infection bacteria, don't know how true this is. I explained to him if he can...

...If its just fluid and no infection they will most likely give you nose sprays. If its an middle ear infection ask for Amoxicillin Or Augmentin which is a little more potent than just amox. If they give you nose sprays, ask for a drug called Dymista. Its basically flonase with an added...

...I have had Tinnitus since September 2016. I had a sudden hearing loss followed by an ear infection. The ENT prescribed me antibiotics (Augmentin) and Tinnitus started on the second day of antibiotics. After some CT Scans and MRIs I was diagnosed with a Cholesteatoma. I had a canal wall up...

...about what it could cause if it doesn't heal. I was expecting it to heal with the inflammation, but after using my prescribed antibiotics (Augmentin, 2 pills a day for a week - didn't seem to affect my tinnitus at all, it got worse before I started using them) and my throat almost healed, the...

...to steroids. The only time I took antibiotics was at the beginning of my ear fullness (had no hearing loss at the time), and it was for a suspected ear infection (I took Augmentin 500mg for about 10 days) but that was it. The only medication I was continuously on was Prednisone and...

It's always a trade-off: if you don't take the meds, you are also risking a spike, and perhaps much worse (infections can do quite a lot of damage). I would personally not let an infection flourish if I can help it.

...pressure and pain/fullness in my ears. I went to urgent care and said that I have fluid in my ears and sinusitis. I was prescribed augmentin and am on day 4 of my 10 day dose. I woke up this morning with very little ringing in my ears but when I move my head it starts up. When I...

Thanks but I don't know if I have allergies. I've tried Zyrtec and it doesn't do anything. Stopped because it can do ear damage when I looked it up. Is Dymista still better?

...thing probably wasn't the best idea during a cold and that could have lead to the infection. Was put on 2 pills/day for 7 day course of Augmentin antibiotic. Infection seems to have cleared up. No increase or decrease in T. I have ordered these Vibes decibel canceling ear plugs. I have been...

...the drill well! Antibiotics are not always ear friendly. I had a major T spike and developed mild hyperacusis after taking Cipro and Augmentin a few months ago. That said, bladder infections if left unchecked can develop into something more serious (I know because I took antibiotics for...

...to a manageable level (2 out of 10). About every year around flu season I tend to get another ear infection in the same ear and have taken Augmentin and Prednisone, and it clears it up and doesn't cause the tinnitus to become any better or any worse. Well just 2 days ago I woke up with my...

An MRI is really really loud. And many people on these forums reported that it damaged their hearing. If you go for an MRI carry earmuffs (without any metal on them) and earplugs too.

...because it depends of what kind of bacterial infection you have, and you just can't be prepared for everything! But to try to answer your question, if I were to choose one, that would be Augmentin. By the way, how's your hair situation these days? Feel free to post in the "Photo Album"...

...noted mild hearing loss on after visit summary. My ENT is concerned about the asymmetry. Since I didn't have a hearing test prior to taking Augmentin and Vancomycin it can be proven that I am a victim of ototoxicity but it seems that I would have had some signs of hearing loss specifically...

...cold/flu and no otitis media. Are there any of you that experienced such a case and what did you do? Treatment? There are so many options, and also the option to do nothing. Are there people that started Augmentin, or predisone to unclogg ears? Kind to hear what you guys think of it and did.

I’ve been on Augmentin but it’s been 7 days out of the 10 prescribed and the infection is lingering. I’m a little worried because may have to go back and be changed. Not sure what antibiotics are safe for tinnitus. Is there a list?

Have they tried Augmentin Duo on you yet? Amoxicillin & Clavulanic Acid, http://www.mydr.com.au/medicines/cmis/augmentin-duo-forte-tablets This is what I usually get prescribed when I have an infection, it is significantly more effective than just Amoxicillin alone and I've used it 3 times now...

I really hate it when ENTs say a persons hearing is normal for their age range and brush hearing loss off if there actually is any. Just because a persons hearing is normal for their age doesn’t mean there isn’t any loss or that it shouldn’t be treated or looked into.
