Well, I have had tinnitus for a year to the point I may have to quit work and go on disability. I noticed that every time I take an antibiotic, the tinnitus gets better (but doesn't quite go away). I recently took LEVAQUIN for bronchitis and after the first pill my tinnitus subsided substantially. It remained much better during the ten day treatment. I had no side effects from the antibiotic although it did seem to take the whole ten days to help my bronchitis. Now that I am finished the LEVAQUIN my tinnitus is increasing again. I liked the experience of taking it.

Give it time. You are not out of the woods yet. I had a delayed reaction to this drug and so far it is lasting 13 months. By the way, tinnitus is a very common reaction to this drug, so I wouldn't be surprised if your tinnitus comes back much stronger than previously and if it lasts indefinitely. This drug is very very harmful.

Levaquin gave me tinnitus. It has ruined my live. I have lost hearing, have tendonitis in hands, knees, ankles etc. I'm not the same person I used to be thanks to this poison. This doesn't help tinnitus. Tinnitus is a permanent problem for many reasons. Maybe you took one the floroquinolones in the past. It is a major cause of tinnitus. No medication can help it.
