All tinnitus sufferers should ask their physician and/or pharmacist about the potential for ototoxic side effects BEFORE starting a new prescription. In her book When the Hearing Gets Hard, author Elaine Suss names several potentially ototoxic substances. She lists them in three categories:(1) substances that most physicians consider ototoxic; (2) substances that many physicians consider potentially ototoxic; and (3) substances that may be ototoxic in rare cases.
The ototoxic effects of the substances in the third group are considered to be reversible--the effects diminish when you stop taking the drug. Ms. Suss does not list dosages.
