I started on Yasmin about 3 years ago and about 4-6 months on it- I started experiencing ringing in my ears. The ringing started with just 6 hours at a time maybe every other month- very minor in the beginning. Gradually the ringing would last longer and would occur more frequently. I saw an ENT Dr., hearing tests, MRI, you name it... There was nothing that came up and then I started doing some investigating in trying to make connections with the pill and the ringing. The pamphlet that it came with said that you could experience a deficiency in Vitamin B, B12.. whatever. So, I thought that I could start taking the B Vitamin and perhaps that would help.. I haven't gone off of it yet, because this pill has been amazing for me.. I don't have mood swings, heavy periods, bad cramps on it.. I love it compared to Ortho and the generic.. I felt like I was going insane on those! I think I just need to get off Yasmin altogether because of this ringing in my ear.. I really am trying to search for some answers!! If anyone has experienced ringing in their ears with Yasmin and never had it before- please email me... My doctors say that there is no connection and if everything else is great with the pill to stay on it; they say I have Meniere's Disease.. Also, I started getting a rash on the front of both of my calf's.. nothing to serious.. they say that it shouldn't appeared right away, instead of half a year later.. I'm at a loss.. like I said this pill has been great...

Hello,
I have been taking YAZ for less than a month and I, too, have ringing in the ears. I have also experienced other side effects, so I plan on changing to another BCP after this cycle.

I have been on Yasmin for 10 months and have experienced ringing in my ears for 8 of those months. I too have loved Yasmin, no other side effects, but this ear ringing has finally irritated me too badly and I will most likely be switching. I've done some research and Yasmin alters the fluid levels in your inner ear, it also can act as an electolyte which can also cause fluid inbalances in the ear. That is what causes the ringing. It has gotten worse for me over the 8 months but I'm sad to have to switch.
