I've also had (work-related?) mild tinnitus for a number of years. Pretty sure it's a bit louder or more perceptible at times on Harvoni. I'm not finding it to be very intense or difficult to tolerate though. Hopefully it will diminish after the treatment's end.

What did you say Judy?  I can't hear you.  I have this LOUD screeching in my ears.  :)         I had this before tx so I really can't say if it was exacerbated by the Harvoni.  As Tig said there have been a few members mention this as a side effect of tx.  I need to turn the music up. :)

Hi, 

Yep, there have been several people mention the onset of "Tinnitus" during/following Harvoni treatment. I developed  it from another protocol and it is awful! I haven't heard anyone mention it persisting after Harvoni treatment, but I'm sure your fellow warriors will chime in. I find it very annoying at night and have to use a noise generator to help mask it some nights. You can find free apps for your phone that help.

Well it has been two weeks since I started taking Harvoni. Doing okay as far as minimal side effects but I am really being bothered by this loud constant ringing in my ears. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
