      I need to take this antibiotic but too scared it will increase tinnitus. Anyone has any experience with it?

      Actually it is Ampicillin/Sulbactam called Unasyn. But even if someone has taken Ampicillin please let me know.

      Just updating the post myself as this can help someone reading this thread.

      I took the mentioned medicine and my tinnitus spiked from the first tablet. It took 3 days for the spike to subside and when it did I had another tablet just to make sure is not a coincident. No it was not the tinnitus spike again and after 3 days went down. My tinnitus fluctuates a lot so it is hard to even tell if the medication is harming me. After my second try I did not try this antibiotic anymore as I did not want to further experiment and make some bacteria resistant.
