Anyone suffering from tinnitus (ringing in ear) found the condition worsened
by taking Keppra? I had minor ringing in one ear before starting Keppra and
in the past three months the sound has become much more noticable and
irritating. Wondering if it is a subjective side effect of Keppra rather
than a physical change responsible for my perception that volume has
increased.

I've had tinnitus for years and started Keppra over a year ago. No increase
in the tinnitus that I can tell. Mine is a rushing or roaring sound, a bit
like the sound of the beach but the waves never crash. I'm on 3250 mg per
day.
