I did not have any significant tinnitus until I started taking gabapentin for back pain. I only took it for a short while and never at the higher prescribed level. It did help with the back pain and improved my sleep, but this tinnitus persists even months since my last dose of gabapentin.

I have been taking gabapentin for some time now for my epilepsy. My consultant neurologist did not point out that the drug might produce tinnitus and other hearing/ear-related problems.
Now I’m suffering from tinnitus in both ears, and occasional dizziness and vertigo, with the odd spasm of ear pain. I have also noticed some hearing loss. I am feeling pretty aggrieved about the guy at the moment. I only hope that coming off gabapentin can eliminate the problem, and that the damage to my ears won’t prove to be permanent.
