Has anyone here become deaf/hard of hearing due to antibiotics and successfully sued?

I was born hearing but later developed hearing loss/deafness, and I’m looking into whether it may have been caused by antibiotic overdose.

I wanted to ask if anyone here has gone through something similar and actually pursued medical negligence/legal action and if so, what was the outcome? (In my case I don't see much negligence)

Did you win, settle, or decide it wasn’t worth pursuing? Was there enough medical evidence? How difficult was the process emotionally/financially?

I’m not asking for formal legal advice, just personal experiences from people who may have been through this themselves.

I’m based in the UK, but experiences from anywhere are welcome.
