That's odd. They typically want to start with amoxycillin, 
even when it didn't work the last 47 times. Tetracycline is 
generally considered to be a lot harder on the stomach and 
liver (doxycycline is worse) than on the hearing, but it 
apparently depends on the individual.

Unwilling companion of a more or less continuous 35+ year 
sinus infection.
