I've been on inhaled Amikacin since March. I have 5 neg sputum since then. Cautiously optimistic. I lost my voice but it slowly got better. Be sure to have your hearing checked routinely.

I need info on amikacin. I won't take it because my doctor states a side effect is "hearing loss". Has this happened to you?
