      Does anyone have any information on this? I have Ménière’s disease and my tinnitus was made worse by the Pfizer vaccine and then by Klonopin withdrawal. It’s so bad it’s insane. I need to be on Famvir for my ears, as Ménière’s is caused by HSV. I don’t see anything about ototoxicity for this, but I want to be sure.

      Hi @Brian P! Just wondering if you've every tried seeing an upper cervical chiropractor? There are many articles on how Ménière's symptoms can be significantly reduced. I sincerely hope things start improving for you. <3

      Never tried UCC. I tried regular chiropractor with no results.

      No, they're not ototoxic.
