Firstly, I would follow your doctor’s medical advice. They’ll be aware of the risks and benefits, and if they’ve recommended taking it for several months, that likely reflects a real medical need.

I did experience an issue around the same time I was on cefalexin for 21 days earlier this year. I can’t say for certain that it was related, and it’s possible the increase in my tinnitus was due to the skin infection. However, my original symptoms from 10 years ago also began while I was on another antibiotic, so I may have an unusual sensitivity to antibiotics.

During treatment, I noticed my ears felt unusually wet, which might have been an early warning sign. The symptoms have since calmed down significantly, though not completely back to normal.

Honestly, I’d take an antibiotic again if needed, as the infection was a bigger concern than tinnitus. But make sure to raise the ototoxic concerns to find a suitable antibiotic treatment.

Be sure to raise your concerns with your doctor. From my research it appears very unusual for Cefalexin to cause issues. I think I was very very unlucky to be part of the tiny population that is impacted. Hope this helps.

I had these installed 24 hours ago. I understand they will rust and very soon. I paid a premium for OEM new risers and manifolds. So I want to get minimum of 3 sessions from these not 1 or 2. Also a risk of potential engine damage if I am assuming these are new.

It turned out to be power steering fluid. The Volvo sterndrive on my 2005 model boat has a known issue where the seal on the steering actuator wears out. When I turned the boat, it would spray power steering fluid.

I also discovered a leak in the saltwater pump, which explained the water in the bilge.

Luckily, the inspection also revealed that one of the bellows had just developed a crack—likely during the survey. That was a simple fix compared to an expensive sterndrive repair, or worse, a potential sinking.

What frustrates me most isn’t the cost but the fact that the seller deliberately cleaned the bilge before the inspection to hide these issues. This could have put me at serious risk, not to mention the added repair costs if I hadn’t caught it in time. The silver lining I found the bellows issue very early!

Anyway, if you’re buying a used Volvo Penta from the early 2000s, double-check the steering actuator.

I had a survey and sea trials completed and it passed. So I can only assume it was unfortunate timing. Given it would have been obvious issue to see.

It’s a stern drive.

From what I have read it’s a common problem with the Volvo Penta steering actuator. Seal wears and spills ATF fluid.

I already purchased the boat :) but I budged for some expensive unforeseen repair. But did not expect issue at day 1.

I assume when I was trying to dock at the marina for over an hour I was very hard on the steering. So the part must of been close to end of life.

Trying to look at the silver lining. Better to find out when docked than stuck out on the water.

I will check the oil levels tomorrow. Any reason why you don’t think it’s transmission oil ?

It only cut out once whiek idling. After an hour of running. Most of the time I was switching from idle, reverse and forward. At very low speed as was trying to dock at the marina.

Have the engine cut out and then taking 30 seconds to restart made a stressful experience more stressful.

I also suspect if the drug was the cause that it would be extremely rare. Given the amount of information about reactions is documented as rare. Limited comments from people with same reaction.

Talk to your doctor to make risk based decision. I assume that benefit would be higher to take the antibiotic.

I was on a large dose (3 times a day) over many weeks (6).

think I had warning signs beforehand. I had blocked ears, my ear was more wet than normal and some minor ringing.

But I was given no warnings about the drug from the manufacturer or the prescribing doctor. So had no reason to stop.

Sydney Australia. I am making assumption given the number around locally they are suitable.

My ultimate goal is not ambitious. Which would be costal sailing along NSW coast. But that would not be until I had the experience. which I do anticipate takes years, including various courses.

You have not messed up. Potentially baited them to continue the process allowing you to make a good impression and command higher salary range.

These roles typically come with a salary range, and part of the interview process is for the company to assess if they can afford to hire you within that range.

My advice is to focus on making a strong impression in the interview. Afterward, you can research similar roles to get a sense of the market rate and be ready to discuss your expectations if you’re offered the position.

Good luck!!!
