      Attached is a list of drugs that makes your tinnitus worse or drugs that can cause tinnitus.

      Stay away from gentamicin, it is a powerful antibiotic that causes tinnitus and can damage your vestibular system.

      Probably sound, though never proven
      Genta is one of the aminoglycoside class. Erythromycin is another implicated in tinnitus. The recommendations for these drugs are that they are to be given as a slow IV infusion only to avoid the rapid serum concentrations that occur with a quick push which is where you get your damage in most cases. Genta doesn't have an oral form.

      Still can't believe my doctors let me take ototoxic painkillers and antidepressants for about two years and did not mention once that, maybe, as someone suffering from tinnitus I shouldn't take them.
