My younger son has had tinnitus for some time. He took an antibiotic not knowing it was ototoxic and his tinnitus is off the charts. He is beyond despondent. I am scared for him.

How’s your ferritin level and vitamin D level?
There’s a few other deficiencies that contribute to tinnitus: b12, magnesium, zinc
Thank you
Vitamin D is at a great level. Iron/ferritin is a bit lower than it should be but still normal. Thankfully I've been able to raise it up over the past few months. B12 is super high, sometimes off the charts high, so I seem to be fine on that for a while. Magnesium and zinc are also normal too. I've been having my levels checked a lot this past year because of other health issues, and everything seems to finally be at a good spot (though my B12 is really high, but that's partly because the body stores any extra you ingest, so it holds onto a lot before it uses it all up).
Sadly I don't think my tinnitus will ever go away because it was caused by a medication side effect that my doctors did NOT warn me about (thanks, morons). But I've learned to live with it now. Still, if the ivermectin helps at all I'll let y'all know. Would be nice if it did but I'm not getting my hopes up.
