I have been taking Wellbutrin (bupropion xl) for a couple years for MDD. Every now and then I would hear people talking when there is white noise. But recently it has gotten worse.

I looked it up and it has a name. It's called musical ear syndrome, it's like tinnitus but with singing or people talking. I was relieved I wasn't losing my mind but turns out I'm having hearing loss or certain medications can cause it and wellbutrin is one of them. This may be a very rare side effect, I'm not sure.

Has anyone on Wellbutrin experienced this? Is this is a bad side effect to where I need to call my doctor? Any advice on this would be great!
