    I think your doctor would not have suggested them if it were not advisable since I presume he knows your history! It is a relatively low dose and a very short course but may help your hearing.

    You may find your blood sugars are not as well controlled during the course but it isn't long enough or high enough to cause any real side effects other than you may find it a bit difficult to sleep. That won't last..
