I know for sure. The "ringing in the ears" to me was really a intermittent high sounding hum which I didn't think was "ringing" so by the time I mentioned it, it was to late for me. Also the people that have rec'd the weekly doses don't seem to have that concern or as much nausea so that's the reasons I mentioned asking for the weekly doses.
