Honestly I don't know what happened to me yesterday, was having symptoms of malaria and someone advised me to get quinine tablet, I bought and took at morning and afternoon, but at night I noticed I could hardly pick out a sound anymore from what someone said to me unless the person shouted, with strange continuous sound ringing on my ear non stop. At a point I thought I was going deaf so I immediately stopped the drug and late this morning my hearing capacity returned to normal. Please doctors and pharmacist in the house is this a known side effect of the drug or do I need to go for check up cos the person who prescribed the drug said he has never felt such after taking it, which makes me worried.

What you have is called cinchonism and it's a side effect of quinine containing drug.
Stop the drug if you haven't already.
Next time, go to a professional instead of self medication.

Next time it's blindness you'll experience if you don't learn to get help from the appropriate experts. Like the poster above me has said, hearing loss (deafness) or sounds in the ear (tinnitus) can occur with the use of quinine especially when overdosed, although it sometimes occurs even at normal doses. You may not need further check up for the hearing loss, since it has returned to normal, but I'll still advise you to visit the hospital (not pharmacy) for proper diagnosis and treatment of your 'malaria'.

The person that prescribed quinine for you must be a flatheaded jew.
