...does help with noxacusis burning. It’s short-lived relief but I consistently notice that the burning drastically reduces about 10 minutes after I consume ginger and seems to stay that way for a few hours. It often disappears entirely in that span. I’d compare it to taking Ibuprofen for a...

My dentist told me he developed a pulsatile tinnitus from heavy use of Brufen (ibuprofen). Aspirin is also known to have an association with tinnitus onset, but I think that's related to long-term, regular use. Acetaminophen/paracetamol isn't associated generally with any kind of ototoxicity...

Do you really have access to any drug you want? FYI, Memantine, Nimodipine and Taurine did not help my tinnitus. I advise you to take antioxidants, especially when experimenting with new medication. Felodipine is also an anti-mineralocorticoid, which might have something to do with your...

...toxicity and inflammation, wouldn't it make a lot of sense for a Glutamate receptor antagonist and anti-inflammatory medicine like Ibuprofen to be very helpful to stop this process? Instead I read here on the forum vague claims about NSAIDs being potentially harmful to the ears. Are there...

Could you tell me if you T is somatic i.e. if you bote your teeth...does it chane the pitch or volume of T?

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

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.

...me in an even poorer mood due to the discomfort. Given how the majority of painkillers for this ailment such as Aspirin, Paracetamol, and Ibuprofen are considered to be ototoxic, the last thing I want to do right now is add potential fuel to the fire. Has anyone been able to find...

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

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...

...years, and several providers have suggested I get back on an SSRI. But after the horror stories I’ve read, I don’t think I could ever take one again. Hell, I won’t even take a single Ibuprofen for a headache. I’ve become petrified of taking anything that could make my tinnitus worse. This sucks.

Hope it will go away man. I don't know about how much Ibuprofen can help... It can cause tinnitus... Paracetamol helps you? You get it by external sounds at certain frequencies?

...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.

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...

Me too. Thanks Karen. I also tend to have extreme reactions to meds and other stuff. And I do have lifelong eczema ocassional athsma and inflammatory conditions. I know ibuprofen is supposed to cause tinnitus but I wonder if some kinds of tinnitus might be helped by it. A bit scared to try.

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...

...am facing a problem: One of my finger joints is severly inflammed. Today it got so painful that I called a doctor. She insists that I take Ibuprofen 400mg (3x 3 days) to stop inflammation. I am very concerned about the use of any painkiller due to its potential effect on T. Ibuprofen is...

hi Marie, Do you have a date for your extraction? Wish you all the best for it - do let us know how it goes. Click

I've had spikes from Ibuprofen and Naproxen a couple of times (had to take the drugs for inflammation). Just stop taking it, try to relax, and in a few days the spike will quiet down if the cause was really from the NSAID. I would not suggest taking a heavy drug like prednisone, that's asking...

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.

Any update please? Personally I don't think Paracetamol is the culprit. Aspirin is more likely to be the culprit.

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 last posted here but here I am again! My tinnitus became totally manageable after a few weeks to months of worry back when I had too many Ibuprofen while working at Amazon. Well, I was out visiting my dad and doing some work on his property when my dipshit younger brother (21) used an air...

There is one guy on Tinnitus Talk who recovered after 4 months. He treated it as inflammatory and took Ibuprofen with meals. I really can’t understand why anyone would take a second or booster dose of any of those vaccines. My 2nd Pfizer jab is scheduled for 21st January. There is no way I’m...

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.

In studies..only at high doses over a long period of time.

The T is more or less the same but the pain turned into an extreme one, very interesting. It was not there last night. I know that i could use ibuprofen pills as doctor let me do it, let's see what happens. Is there any one who had a similar experience with the injections?

Good to know! Luckely I use coconut oil and backing soda for toothpaste.

...the Phentermine, and near the end of the course I began experiencing the more intrusive ringing. Now, I have been taking 400/800 mg Ibuprofen per day (depending on the day) to deal with inflammation of the chest for the last five days, and last night took Diphenhydramine 25 mg to help with...

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.

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?

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)

Mine is drug induced and ibuprofin was the cause

...but I suspect those might come from the vertigo. I’ve read that headaches can come along with high blood pressure too. I was taking Advil (Ibuprofen) for them, but only when the headache wouldn’t go away. Now I worry about taking it at all. The stress and anxiety while waiting for my spike...

...until a year after my tinnitus began and then it took another year to wean off all my meds and then took even more trial and error to figure out that even a single 200 mg ibuprofen causes me permanent damage and that I am much more at risk to noise induced damage. Lots of regret on my part too.

I'm no doctor, but anxiety medications or Ibuprofen "can" cause ringing. If I were you, I would cut out anxiety meds , and stop with the earbuds. Get a noise machine that sounds like rain (or download a free app for your smartphone) Sometimes it takes weeks for the ringing to stop after you...

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.

I wasn't using headphones at all when tinnitus started, I was actually out of town. I've been a gamer my whole life with headphones, but my T started from taking Ibuprofen nearly a week after I was out of town/hadn't been using headphones.

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.

So what do you use?

Just went to the doctor because i have a lot of pain when coughin. So My rib seems to be broken or bruised. It hurts a lot. She gave me Ibuprofen 600 but i am affraid to take it. Can i just take it or is there something els that i can take and its safe?

Will it go away on its own? And will ibuprofen do anything

...most to achieve habituation were time and avoidance of loud noise - the latter is particularly important in not worsening tinnitus. I take Ibuprofen quite regularly and don't find it worsens my tinnitus at all. Definitely worth seeing your GP about the tinnitus and headaches though so that...

If you want a painkiller I would try turmeric.

@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!

HA! You can take some ibuprofen for that. Oh wait, that's ototoxic. God wins again.

...craft beers makes mine better. Or maybe it just makes me not care about it. Of course, I can't become an alcoholic because of T. LOL. So drinking every day isn't an option. I think mine started because of good 'ol Advil - Ibuprofen - which I was taking after dental surgery and a back injury.

...howard leights help. I wear the soft silicone ear putty, they are better than anything elese Ive tried. But I can still get pressure pain and amped up volume if I wear them too long. and just this week for first time in 2yrs H. from wearing plugs too long. Ibuprofen takes the pain n pressure...

Thankyou!

Hi, and thanks for the nice words Sailboardman, Yep - I really wish I hadn't taken the damn ibuprofen, I certainly haven't taken any more. I actually had a crushing headache for 5 days before I got to the Doc who said sinisitus, so was gingerly taking paracetemol and ibprofen a couple of times...

So my doctor advised me against the ibuprofen and suggested I try Lyrica (pregabalin), which is an anti-spasmodic medication. I'll try that for a couple of weeks and, if it doesn't work, we'll try the prednisone. I'm also looking for a physio with a specialty in TMJ. Slept with a mouth guard...

Probably not since they're both made by competing companies. A combination of OTO-413 and OTO-6xx is more likely. I'm thinking more along the lines of convincing an ENT to do it.

...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'.

CBT and Gabatein and Ibuprofen are the standard for an enormous amount of painful diseases. It's a catch all net in the chronic pain world, because it can target a ton of unrelated diseases in a very generic way. ACT is the literal TRT equivalent but less popular.(Thank God) CBT therapist are...

...reply. It makes sense. I am paranoid about getting worse and before I got tinnitus, I got frequent headaches and migraines. I took ibuprofen and Advil a lot. I really want to avoid getting worse and I don't know if Advil or Tylenol would do that but realistically and rationally, it...

I think mine was caused by loud concert, airplane ride, or taking a pill of ibuprofen when I had a headache. all happened around the same time. it's been over a month. the ringing is still there, but much quieter now. my ENT thinks it's caused by my allergy so he gave me a lot of random meds...

Thanks for the advice Well, I decided to skip Ibuprofen, but went with half a dose of a mefenamic acid med. That was one week ago. Could not feel any effect in the first two days with regard to T, but am now having a pretty intense spike that has lasted since. Could be related, does not have...
