Sam was prescribed Tresaderm twice daily for two weeks due to a yeast infection both ears. They are drops. I'm reading on the Internet horror stories or people's pets losing their hearing permanently on this medication! Ack! Anyone have experience with it?

I have used Tresaderm with great success (& no hearing loss) on my kitty previously.  If you're concerned about the side effects, call the vet and ask for something different.

My Mazy cat has chronic ear problems stemming from an untreated yeast infection before I brought her home from the shelter, who knows how long she had it then.

For the past 8 years she has had flare ups, on average, three or four times a year,and gets the drops twice a day for 10 days when they happen.

She has no hearing loss.

That is not to say it hasn't ever happened, just because it hasn't happened to Mazy, but I haven't ever heard of it before.

Thanks, everyone. He's on his 6th day of the drops and seems to be doing just fine. ;)
