Hello and welcome to HCM Was your bacterial meningitis treayed with a suitable antibiotic ? It is unlikely for an acute bacterial infection to last for such long time. Appropriate antibiotics usually clear away the infection. Pain on moving the neck is characteristic of meningeal infection. Ringing of ears and hearing humming sounds indicate involvement of inner ear. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) which baths the outer surface of the brain and also harbours the infection in meningitis is in continuation with the endolymphatic fluid in the inner ear. An infection from the CSF can enter the inner ear and cause these sympyoms. Get a CSF examination to rule out recurrence of maningeal infection after consultation with your doctor. Out of the varioud drugs which you are taking for various reasons statins (if you are taking it for high cholesterol) can cause muscle pain (neck pain in your case). Rest discuss with your doctor for further managemnt. Yhanks and take care Dr Shailja P Wahal
