Very sorry to hear. Have your symptoms improved at all or are they the same?

Which vaccine did you get? Pfizer?

I use YouTube ASMR videos from time to time with nature sounds that help me. I imagine it would have the same effect but for free. Though the...

When I first got tinnitus it took me well over a year to habituate. The first permanent spike I got it took about 1-2 months. The second permanent...

I was on Doxy for a couple of weeks. It increased my tinnitus slightly, but worse, it caused me to have muffled hearing, which went away after I...

It absolutely can be. My first negative experience with ototoxic meds was Augmentin of which Amoxicillin is a component. It tripled the volume of...

I may need ear drops for an ear infection. It's my understanding that antibiotic ear drops just stay in the outer part of the ear and don't even...

I was on and off antibiotics for a while for prostatitis. Augmentin, which includes Amoxicillin doubled the volume of my tinnitus permanently....

This doubled the volume of my T.

I'm officially freaking out now. I posted a few days ago but no one replied. I think this may have been caused by the prescription drug called...

I've taken a couple of cephalosporin antibiotics (cefdinir and cefaclor) over the past couple of years and did well on them with no increase in my...

Has anyone tried taking Quercetin for their tinnitus? I've also got prostate issues which said could be helped by this supplement, but it seems...

What happened when you took the 64 mg dose?

Out of curiosity how hard were you hit? I was hit a while ago on the side of my face by accident and my T immediately spiked and it lasted for 2-3...

I'm going to try this as soon as I'm off the prednisolone.

I've heard that 3 mg or less is considered safe if not for more than 3 months.

My experience with ototoxic drugs was with Amoxocillin a couple of years ago. It doubled the volume of my T and it never went back down I'm sorry...

I would doubt it though everyone is different. I've been taking Tums for years which has tons of calcium in it with no problems.

In my experience with T over the last 15 years spikes often don't get better, but with time you do get used to them.

Thanks everyone for the support and comments. Here's an update. Saw the ENT today who did a thorough check of the ears, though I knew he...

This may seem like a weird question, but are you in the U.K.? I’ve found that ENTs in the States often give steroids for tinnitus and say it could...

I actually just got some and will start taking it today.

Thanks for the reply. Did you take prednisone after your T started and if so, did it help?

Have you tried looking at academic research articles on the subject using Google scholar or your local library? Those articles will be writtten by...

I would avoid concerts even with ear plugs.

I strongly suggest booking an aisle seat. I’ve found window seats to be quite a bit noisier.

What were the causes of your spikes?

The only thing that's changed since I first got T was my attitude towards it. Volume has never gone down.

How long were you on it for?

I had this happen a while ago. My T increased for about a week but eventually went back to baseline. Maybe give it some time to heal.

No, that was almost 2 years ago now and it never went back down. And yes, the Cipro was the oral kind, not the drops. In fact, the tinnitus got...

Thanks very much for the information. Very helpful!

The time I took Cipro when my tinnitus increased it was for UTI, not an ear infection. My tinnitus was constant for nearly 10 years and about 3...

I developed a worsening of my tinnitus and ear fullness the last time I took Cipro among other fun side effects. Ear drum as far as I know isn't...

Remember that auditory ear damage is cumulative. A few times with your earbuds might be fine but over time, if you're listening to them at unsafe...

This question is a tough one. Many of my friends don't even know I have T. All they know is that I don't seem to like going to bars and concerts....

Check this link out... https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/oxazepam/tinnitus/ It appears that the number of people who report T is pretty low. I've...

I had a severe spike in my T after taking Augmentin (Amoxicillin plus Clavulanic acid). My T was pretty steady for nearly a decade and then bam,...

Augmentin which contains Amoxicillin sent my tinnitus through the roof. Also, avoid aminoglycoside antibiotics which are known to be ototoxic....

I wasn't able to find the one that I've used before but came across this... https://www.noisemeters.com/apps/occ/prot-nrr.asp

33 db NRR doesn't mean 120 db - 33 db = 87 db of sound going into your ears. Personally, I wouldn't go to a concert or club even with ear plugs...

Even in a smaller venue you're still in an enclosed space where sound has nowhere to go but bounce off the walls repeatedly. At least in an open...

Antibiotics I took last year caused a massive T spike. The first spike hit when I took 2 pills of Cipro (don't remember the dosage). My ears felt...

O The ones I took were magnesium, NAC, and zinc. That's it.

The last couple of times it was about 10 days before the pure tones went away.

In terms of the purpose there's little difference between the two other than different drug interactions and where the kind of inflammation you're...

Just to add, in all instances I took methylprednisolone and supplements almost immediately after exposure.

It's happened to me on several occasions and in all instances the pure tone went back to a hissing sound.

Antibiotics can definitely cause T. Have you seen an ENT or talked to the prescribing doctor about what's happened?

What's disabling for one person might not be disabling for another. It's all in how each individual reacts to it. For all we know, Will might have...

I've met other T sufferers who don't have all the anxiety that many have and just go on living their lives. They've learned to let the T not...

My tinnitus is from acoustic trauma and antibiotics. I fly frequently and have never had issues. I just use foam earplugs and am fine.

Everyone here has different tolerance levels. What's safe for me might not be safe for you and vice versa. For me, anything over 85 db without...
