@anr38 - You should be getting your hearing checked. Katherine's guidelines indicated quarterly. I had mine checked shortly after I began the drugs (started drugs in Dec - checked hearing 1/10) but then forgot until just this week. So I went 6 months without testing. My vision was tested every 4-6 weeks but we are now going quarterly since everything has been stable. I have an app on my phone for vision testing that I will do in between.

I've been pretty good on these drugs. The Rifampin is the hardest for me but it's been tolerable. It seems like the worst part for me is headaches. I haven't had any problems going to sleep but I take all mine before noon or 1:00 for that very reason. Linda

I will ask my doctor when i go back about checking my hearing! I may also see if i could change the time i've been taking my antibiotic from night time to morning or afternoon. The pharmacologist is the one who recommended to take at night so i would sleep through the side effects, but I think the side effect for me is trouble to go to sleep. They want be checking my vision again for another 6 months unless i start having a problem with my vision. I hope and pray it will not change!
Thank you for your info!

anr38. The pharmacologist told me the same but I somehow (almost a year ago) figured out that Rifampin kept me awake at night. I switched it to AM, an hour before breakfast for full absorption, and then slept much better.
Best wishes!!
