Consumer:

The use of quinine is contraindicated in patients with tinnitus. Quinine has been associated with reversible and irreversible ototoxicity. Reversible hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness has been reported in 20% of patients receiving therapeutic doses of quinine. Cystic degeneration of stria vascularis, degeneration of the cochlear neurons, and loss of hair cells occur. Injury may be produced by spasm of cochlear blood vessels, resulting in anoxia and subsequent cellular damage.
