I have had tinnitus most of my life, maybe a little worse since the antibiotics, but hard to say. My vision and hearing were closely watched throughout the meds with annual followup now. Hearing loss seems to be progressing as expected for my age and history. Has anyone else had to stop the meds due to tinnitus?

I also had and now have tinnitus from the meds. They did not stop the meds but I did get my hearing checked every 6 months. I also had in-depth vision testing every 6 months. The doctors were more concerned about that. I've been off the meds for about 6 months and I'm hearing the ringing as I type.

@sueinmn The tinnitus was worse for me on azithromycin. With a switch to clarithromycin it has been much less in severity and frequency. @irene5
