@heathert I loss some hearing in my left ear. My pulmonary doctor told me to stop taking the one drug I was on, arthomyacin. I had been on it less than half a year. The loss was rather quick. I noticed it but thought my ear was stopped up. After a week or so, I called her and she said get off the drug immediately. I did but the hearing never returned. She told me the med had killed nerves and not to expect it to get better. My concern now, many months later, is that it is getting worse. I'm having trouble knowing the direction of sounds and have to turn the volume up on tv. I'm having another hearing test later this month. I felt better on the med but I would trade that now for my hearing loss which is affecting my life. I think anyone who notices a change in hearing or sight, when on these drugs, should tell the doctors... don't be shy. .Flib
