Hi there -
No one can answer if you have hearing loss, from syphilis or anything else, in an online forum. You should make an appointment with your doctor for a blood test for syphilis and a hearing check.
Getting syphilis treated promptly is very important, so we'd urge you to do this soon.
Your questions have been answered, so we are closing this thread.
Best of luck,
Emily

syphilis is really serious look how much heart damage it did it seems in stage 2?
I still have a lot of antibiotics here, maybe I should throw them out
how serious is this disease? the unreliable online reports say that syphilis can damage the heart and brain and cause DEMENTIA and my last EKG came back bad maybe showing damage, I have it here somewhere
it was that terrible doctor toth, he pushed me into taking too many antibiotics
it seems to be the tinidazole and ampicillin which damaged me so much and gave me deafness and aphasia, problems speaking? I remember it occurred right after taking one dose of tinidazole and 1g of ampicillin.
can syphilis cause brain damage and hearing loss? I think it does in the late stage. well I started taking 500mg-1g a day of amoxicillin and I'm not sure but the aphasia seems better. I was having trouble understanding setneces and it's a bit better
You did it to yourself, don't blame someone for you having sex with soemone.
Speak to your Dr abotu hearing loss because that is unknown to me. Google would be my source
unfortunately someone did this to me and gave me this disease. it was a red sore that crusted and then was a bit itchy. but since it wasn't exuding or oozing then it's not a chancroid and since herpes usually has multiple lesions it seems likely that I have Syphilis. it was unusual in that I had the sore about 7 months after infection I think
what is the probability that syphilis causes hearing loss?
yeah I'm not sure if it was a chancre or chancroid or herpes. but does syphilis always cause hearing loss?
You would need a blood test.
I think the neurological symptoms were from damage caused by ampicillin and tinidazole
I had I think a herpes outbreak on my lips at the same time as the hearing loss and this is theorized as a possible cause of hearing loss. I took the valtrex for 5 days with high dose prednisone. there wasn't much else I could do
Some studies say that syphilis can cause hearing loss. I did feel a bit better after taking the 1g of amoxicillin and my hearing seemed a bit better and I thought my speech was improved. but neurosyphilis is only a late stage of the disease syphilis?
It was really foolish to take 3g of ampicillin I read the wikipedia article and it said NOTHING about how toxic this is, neither did the other sites online, I don't think even the PDR says anything about how toxic it is
are you a doctor? I guess it's safer to diagnose with a blood test but I did have the single red painless sore. I have some peeling skin on the bottom of my feet. I have been having terrible neurological symptoms like total body muscle weakness and problems speaking and hearing loss.
the problem is that even amoxicillin which seems to be a weak antibiotic can cause severe hearing loss in some patients. I'm probably really foolish to treat this without a blood test?
I found pus in my left ear indicating infection and then a bit of ear pain today in the left ear after the 1g amoxicillin. I mean this is really too complex to solve on a forum
I had severe hearing loss after taking ampicillin 3g in one day I think combined with tinidazole and roxithromycin.
I need to know if syphilis is causing the hearing loss. the sore started as an ulceration I think and then it became a red round sore and healed within a few days or a week to a crust.
and also I need to know if the antibiotics like bicillin are safe and won't damage my hearing and brain, from neurotoxicity. I've already been terribly damaged and handicapped by hearing loss from ampicillin and tinidazole and roxithromycin. I think I stupidly started taking cipro and some amoxicillin 1g/day which has been reported to cause hearing loss
I'm also wondering if the prostatitis I had was viral since I had immediate pelvic sensation and improved urination after valtrex
you should be really careful about antibiotics of any kind
Not sure what your question is.
