    Tinnitus from Loud Music Is So Much Better After 6 Months

    ...brass instruments such as trombone and I was always surrounded by other players. And that night well it was loud and probably I was close to the speaker and I also was drunk and took 4 ibuprofen before I went to sleep. So I think the combination of all of these caused this ringing in the ear.

    Thank you guys. Yesterday I saw a different ENT, who said I never should have tried prednisolone...

    ...have tried prednisolone in the first place, because I also suffer from depression and it makes that condition worse. I also took a lot of Ibuprofen before the treatment...you know my concerns now. I'm tired of trying things, I'm sick of it. The only positive thing here...my english improved a...

    Ibuprofen for Inflammation?

    I’ve also given Ibuprofen a try for pulsation tinnitus with the underlying thought that it might affect inflammation and lower the PT. It did nothing, possibly made it worse. I’m presently taking turmeric and will give it a try for a few weeks to see if this has any effect. If nothing else...

    Tinnitus from Ear Infection

    Thanks for the replies..I’m a bit scared for the oral steroids as my friend was telling me all about the bad side effects and I am very sensitive to medication. My nurse practitioner friend told me to take ibuprofen every 6 hours and Benadryl at night so giving that a shot

    Starting to Feel Scared About New Tinnitus Changes

    ibuprofen helps you? it is ototoxic... be careful lorazepam can cause or make tinnitus worse... be careful (taper off slowly if you stop...) you know tinnitus does get worse on it's own sometimes... nothing we can do about it! not necesarily a reason for it...you will feel better again

    Do You Have Earache Along with Your Tinnitus? Just Curious

    Should Tinnitus Sufferers Worry About Paracetamol/Ibuprofen/Codeine?

    My T is due to LUVOX (SSRI) taken in 2007 and my increase is due to Clarithromycin (antibiotics) taken in 2014. So I know I need to be careful with ototoxic medication. I have taken ibuprofen several times in the past for migraines and headaches and it never increased my T.

    Ways to Draw Attention to Tinnitus! Not for Newbies!

    Yes, I do. Because of TN I recently took so much ibuprofen (while in agony in the middle of the night, so not fully conscious, that I got intoxicated with it. I had forgotten, in the middle of the pain of trigemenal neuralgia that ibuprofen is not good for T, it may increase it. Only after my T...

    Ibuprofen Greatly Reduces My Tinnitus

    I'd be careful with NSAIDS as they are somewhat ototoxic. I used to abuse OTC Codeine preparations with Ibuprofen in and I often wonder if that damaged my right ear (the one with the T in). I wonder if it's because Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug and you may have some inflammation going...

    Tinnitus Worse After Microsuction?

    I had the same the other month. The ear canal is delicate and has been exposed to ‘trauma’, I was told I might get it and I did. It eventually healed after about 10 days. It’s a form of otitis externa but not infected, just inflamed. Ibuprofen will help.

    I'm New to Tinnitus — I Wonder If Ibuprofen Could Cause Tinnitus?

    I took two BC powders and played guitar really loud the night mine started. I've been playing guitar for years and never had a problem. I suspect that the aspirin weakened my haircells and the guitar playing then killed them.

    GABA Supplements (Including Picamilon)

    Tinnitus is supposed to be a side effect of Ibuprofen but only if you take loads of it. I think normal dosages are fine and you say you only took a few doses. I have taken minimum doses and and it didn't increase my t. This is my own personal experience though.

    Medicine That Can Cause Tinnitus or Make It Worse?

    Generally otoxic drugs can cause and worsen Tinnitus, now I'm not sure if it's one ibuprofen or a lot of them but I wouldn't risk it. I thought weed couldn't do anything and now I'm hearing some sounds louder probably because of the THC in my system. Don't risk it, not worth at all.

    Ototoxity Related Question

    Just a quick one guys, this came up at a discussion last night. What kind of doses of say Ibuprofen would you need to be taking to see an Ototoxic effect like tinnitus manifest? I'm more of the opinion that you'd need to be taking high doses regularly (i.e.>400mg), is this the consensus?

    Do You Take NSAIDs (Aleve, Advil, etc.) or Do You Avoid Them Completely?

    99.9% percent sure Ibuprofen caused my T, took in high doses for 2 or 3 days for wrist pain. Was recommended an amount by a friend of mine who is a med student, took his advice instead of going to the doctor. I'll regret that for the rest of my life (or the rest of my ringing life)

    Ibuprofen for Inflammation?

    With hesitation and concern I took Ibuprofen for ear pain in my good ear that might be caused by TMJ(still not sure the cause) and it reduced my T for about an hour. My ENT says I have a ton of inflammation in my T ear still from a bad infection that ruptired my ear drum.

    Yet Another Habituation Case

    To add, I have had a few (very few) days where it seems like my T is completely gone. However it comes back when I go to sleep and get up the next morning. Which leads me to believe that it wasn't the ibuprofen that caused my T, but something else... and that it could be reversible.

    Question for Those Whose Tinnitus Was Caused by Noise Exposure

    @Geo It took a full week for permanent T to settle in. I didn't even have ringing at the concert at all but I've figured out it was all muscle/tmj/inflammation since when I take muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, and steroids my ringing goes away along with the facial pressure and ear congestion!

    Ginkgo Biloba

    ...While the substance is generally well-tolerated, it can be a significant problem when taken with other common medications - ASA (aspirin), NSAIDS (eg. ibuprofen, naproxen) and thiazides (for high BP). Also there is no convincing evidence that GB has much benefit. It is likely just 'snake oil'.
