Tinnitus and Ototoxicity from Antibiotic. Please help?

I'm sorry you developed Tinnitus as well and for all the issues you had that led up to the need for antibiotics. It's unfortunate how a medication that is supposed to help you can actually harm even more. The Neomycin didn't help at all but now I have more issues as a result of taking it. Especially antiobiotics. They are prescribed haphazardly and I have asked many times if I really need them. At the same time, they are lifesavers for many issues. I have a very low tolerance to almost all medications because of a gene abnormality but when you trust your doctor, you hope they put your overall health first and if there's a Black Box Warning, you should be educated. I do take probiotics and it hasn't exactly helped but it hasn't hurt either. Just so many things could have prevented this but I will adjust in time and those who suffer can only hope for a treatment someday. For now we just help each other and offer advice. Thank you for sharing your story and hope all is well.

You did read that the medication saved the life in addition to possibly causing or adding to tinnitus? Sepsis, unchecked, is fatal. Seems a useful trade.
