I have a really good suggestion. I am 74 and wear hearing aids. If it causes hearing loss to get off it stay on it.
Hearing loss has a strong genetic component but also unfortunately in my job as a print salesperson I had to take my clients to the press room floor. I should have worn ear plugs like everyone down there.
Long story short if there is any truth to the fact that tapering off Klonopin causes hearing loss stay on the Klonopin. Just don’t abuse it.
Good luck to you.
