penicillin is fine I took Biaxin (clarythromycin) for an ear infection 2 years ago and it increased my T. Avoid at all costs!!

Virginia, I answered your PM! :)

My T was caused a first by anti-depressants and the increase by antibiotics. I'm happy to say that although it was very loud at first in both...

My T is between 50 and 60 db. The pitch is low/medium, therefore, I can still mask it fairly easily but if I focus on it, even with masking, I...

Amox is supposed to be quite safe...I would think that the clavulanic was the cause then... In the future, if you are not allergic to...

@Jamie Just so you know, it will most likely go down by the way. But like I mentionned, it took about 6 months for me. The increase was MAJOR....

@Jamie Hello, could you confirm the antibiotics that you took for your ear? I happen to have taken an antibiotics in 2014 for an ear...

Hello!! Twice habituated here... once in 2007 at onset (cause: meds) and a second time to a new louder T (cause: meds). I think it was harder...

I do not check my T every morning anymore neither do I plug my ears. I know it's there and I try to live as normally as possible.

I've taken folic acid during my 3 pregnancies and in my case, I didn't have any increase...

@MattK we actually broke up recently (my decision). Doing well and happy :) T is still not a big part of my life and I'm mostly habituated. :)

I also took a -mycin antibiotics (clarithromycin)...it's not supposed to be that bad for T, I found very few cases...but hey, I went deaf for a...

@attheedgeofscience I don't need to understand any of this bullshit because I am habituated and living a happy and fullfilling life! Not waiting...

@kmohoruk he's a jerk, don't mind him. :)

And cuddling with him makes life so much easier and enjoyable. Fuck T really :)

I'm 32 and my boyfriend is 39. We have been dating for 8 months. I told him right away about the T. I had to because my T reacts to his TV set......

Or maybe I could describe it like a cricket chirping every now and then...or nails on a chalkboard... hard to describe... annoying but I have...

I have the chirping, it sounds like an electrical buzz in my head. In my case, it is mild.

@linearb thank you for your answer. My T was totally stable from 2007 until 2014. But then I took ototoxic meds and it got worse. It has been...

@linearb you've had T for a long time... I was wondering it has changed since 1998 or has been pretty stable? thanks

good God... and you're gonna tell me that such a behaviour is acceptable on TT? what the hell?? @jazz

thank you for tagging me @jazz :) @ruben ruiz don't hesitate to contact me and tell me your story !!

@Lilyboo You are right when you say that I have been through a lot. I was sharing my story so that you can have hopes for a brighter future....

@Kaelon My ENT also told me that ototoxic meds were probably not the cause of my T. He told me he had never seen a permanent case in his whole...

Hey @Kaelon as for me, ototoxic meds are the cause of my T. I took antidepressants (SSRI) in 2007 and the T started while on them. I was stable...

I'm sorry to say but... why do you let T decide whether or not it will be a good day? It can still be a good day even if your T is loud!...

I meant like a buzzing in my ear...like a bee... it was an extra sound, not a physical sensation...

@derpytia Please reach out to us and let us know how you are doing. PLEASE... don't stay alone!!! we are here to help!! In the meantime, big hugs xx

I think Clonazepam is ATIVAN right? I took ATIVAN while having T and it did reduce it temporarily.

I ended up going :) No impact on my T. Had earplugs on the whole time and earmuffs, just in case.

Bienvenue David!

I almost never mask unless I need to concentrate when I study. I am at peace with my T and the sound doesn't bother me like it used to.

My T was the same from 2007 until 2014. I attended concerts and went to clubs during that time, with plugs. The only reason my T got permanently...

I took birth control for a very short time in the years 2002 and 2003, before I had my T. I took TRICYCLEN, not sure what the name is in the USA....
