I am very familiar with this drug and with the entire body of scientific literature surrounding is purported role in the treatment of tinnitus. I have come to the conclusion that gabapentin is no more effective than placebo in that regard.

is it toxic to auditory system?

No.

thank you.

You are most welcome.
