My ear...Part II

I mentioned several weeks ago that I've had an ear infection since April 20th. Yes, it took me a couple of weeks before I finally went in to see a doctor but since then I haven't made too much progress with getting over this ear infection. At the time of my original appointment my hearing was very muffled in my left ear and there was a loud constant ringing in my left ear. The doctor put me on Augmentin twice a day for 10 days at my first appiontment. On day 10 of the medication I was sitting at home and suddenly gasped loudly. Ryan asked what happened and I told him my ear popped but it was so loud that it literally scared me. After the pop I could finally hear out of my left ear again!!! But, I still had the ringing. :-( I went back to the doctor after a few days and he put me on another 10 days of Augmentin (in addition to antibiotic ear drops and Claritin). The second round of medication didn't work because I still had the ringing. When I finished my 2nd round of medicine the ringing was faint for a couple of days but within a few days it was back - and with a vengeance. Finally on Monday afternoon I called the doctor again and made an appointment to go in on Tuesday. He put me on three new medications. One of those medications is ciprofloxacin - which apparently is a drug that is used to prevent and treat things such as the plague and anthrax. Dang! If it can treat the plague and anthrax my fingers are crossed that it will finally get rid of this ear infection that I've had for two months. Can you imagine what it's like to have constant loud ringing in your ears for more than two months?? I'm on the verge of literally going crazy! Keep your fingers crossed that this finally goes away!
