I have tinnitus since I have been on the drugs since July. Have you had your hearing checked? I didn’t know to get a baseline and when I went after three months I had a little hearing loss in the upper range. Since I hadn’t had a baseline I don’t know if the drugs caused the loss. I’m going to go in soon for another hearing test. To tell you the truth, I’ve just gotten used to the tinnitus.

@anniepie I realize you didn’t ask me that, but I did get tinnitus from the azithromycin. (Irene5)

@anniepie I had tinnitus off and on from back in the early 1990's. It was never too loud and would go away often for long periods of time. My tinnitus became pretty severe this past summer and it is either from the azithromycin or tobramycin - it began when I was finishing up the Tobi and starting on the azithromycin, so I'm not sure which one got it going but now it's loud and almost constant. I have learned to ignore it a good deal of the time, but sometimes it's just not possible. Just another new "normal." I have seen a commercial on TV about a group that can help people with this and read an article about it. If you Google, you can probably find some information but my ENT told me it is what it is.

@anniepie I'm not on meds so don't know...

@anniepie Supposedly taking a Niacin suppliment is supposed to ease or get rid of tinnitis. I heard that from a friend who had tinnitis and her Naturopath dr recommended it to her. It worked for her she said.
