Ibuprofen is a known ototoxic medication, while Lamictal is not.

I think it might be TMJ-related since it goes away throughout the day and improves with ibuprofen.

After just yesterday I have been hearing a ringing in my left ear. It's not really loud but I can hear the ringing while I try to sleep. I have been taking Ibuprofen 300 mg per day, a total of 2400 mg over the few past days. Will my tinnitus go away? I stopped taking the Ibuprofen now.

I know ibuprofen is a bit of a no-no for us, but does anyone have any alternatives? I'm dealing with a bursitis flare up in both hips and in a bit of pain. Because it's inflamation, it's been suggested I use ibuprofen but am a bit worried about using it for a few days/weeks in a row ... Thanks :)

i was just remembering that 2 weeks prior I got T I had a bad knee and I was taking ibuprofen daily... If this medicine caused my T is it reversible? Or the damaged is already done... I was a fan of ibuprofen before I knew about T or the Ototoxic facts about ibuprofen... Just wondering

...seem counter intuitive, but if pulsatile tinnitus is caused by ETD / inflammation, wouldn't an anti inflammatory such as a small dose of ibuprofen actually help? Used in conjunction with a steroid nasal spray. In reducing inflammation? What do people think? Or are all NSAIDS a definite no...

For the past 5 years, I have taken Ibuprofen for about a week every month due to period cramps, and now I have tinnitus that came up 3 months ago. It hasn't gone away, even though I haven't taken Ibuprofen since I got tinnitus since I read somewhere that it causes tinnitus/causes it to spike. I...

I can't believe all fever medicine is ototoxic. Acetaminophen/paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin, dextromethorphan... Boy am I a lucky guy.

Hello, I would share my story to everyone about my tinnitus and COVID-19 vaccine/Ibuprofen: I got very small tinnitus about 8 years ago after I slept during taking off and landing on flight. The tinnitus back then was not loud, I didn't care much about it. On March 28, 2021 I took 2nd Pfizer...

Hi guys, Just looking for some advice. I have been taking Ibuprofen 400 milligrams a night for two or three years for a chronic pain condition. 4 days ago I noticed an increase in my tinnitus. I'm wondering if it's possible that being on ibuprofen for this long could be causing it? Would it...

What was your experience with Pregabalin like? Did it affect your tinnitus at all?

...similar to mine, except for the tumor. I prayed, fasted, and tried every possible short-term fix. I changed my diet, cut out caffeine and ibuprofen, and asked the elders of my church to lay hands on me. I also asked many people to pray for my healing. Eventually, I became habituated to the...

As my post states, I'm seriously wondering whether it is possible that ibuprofen and acetaminophen use (Advil and Tylenol) could have caused my tinnitus. The week before it began I was experiencing severe back and neck pain (couldn't lie down or sleep) and was taking 400 mg ibuprofen and 500 mg...

Took ibuprofen for cluster headache and woke up without ear pain and hyperacusis. The best 4 hours of my life. Too bad it's ototoxic...ugh

Can Ibuprofen and Tylenol make tinnitus worse?

Usually, if I drink alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse.

150 mg Ibuprofen helped but now tinnitus is 11/10. Hopefully just a temporary spike. And I hope I will be able to fall asleep tonight. Omg

...before I can go to the dentist but meanwhile the pain is at times unbearable. I am taking 1g of Paracetamol (Dafalgan) combined with 400mg Ibuprofen (Nurofen) fastcaps, that is the only thing that suppresses the pain somewhat, I have been taking these for 2 days at regular intervals...

Massive tinnitus and headache, ibuprofen nor tramadol seem to help.

I injured my shoulder three weeks ago. For the past two weeks, I took the maximum dose of ibuprofen to try to be comfortable. My shoulder is feeling good enough to stop. I have three things working that can increase the ringing: ibuprofen, fluid in my ears and tension in my neck. I'm not...

...and tylenol. Naproxen maybe influenced my tinnitus on the days I took them, but everything else didn't really affect it. I have taken ibuprofen before thinking it was nothing, after several days of taking it my tinnitus spiked. Don't know it it was because of that or not. So, new Dr...

...paracetamol. 21% more likely to lose some hearing is a high percentage. If this is true then surely paracetamol affects ears in some way. It's the one thing I thought was ok with T...

Which is better to take for headaches during Meniere's episodes, Tylenol or Ibuprofen? I don't want to increase my tinnitus, but my daily headaches are bad. Suggestions?

I've got a 1400 Hz fluctuating tonal tinnitus that lasts about a month whenever I blow my nose too hard or let water hit my eardrum in the shower. Pressuring my ears changes it, and Ibuprofen reduces it. What might be the mechanisms at play here?

...I was sneezing, and basically felt horrible. Stopping in a small town on the way, I picked up an over the counter cold medicine and ibuprofen... took two of each, let my wife do the driving, and slept in the car. I probably redid the dose again during the trip, and continued to sleep. By...

...an hour each day. I don't understand this. About a week ago I woke up in the middle of the night and my ears were ringing. I had taken ibuprofen before this for pain in my hands---and I wonder if ibuprofen could cause this. I have a stupid question, if I drink several glasses of...

My tinnitus was fairly low and manageable up until a couple weeks ago. But it has been getting much louder day by day - I think due to Ibuprofen/Aspirin and possibly Paracetamol. Or even the Turmeric/Omega 3 supplements I've been trying recently. Unfortunately I am stuck on pain meds as I have...

I agree. But my stupid diabetes medications have made my hyperacusis worse. So it's all possible. But haven't you been worsening? How do you know it's not from Ibuprofen?

Got prescribed meds for my tinnitus induced daily headaches. 10 pills cost 1177 dollars. I miss days when I could just take ibuprofen man

Thank you! I have headaches that seem to be migraine related. In the past...prior to T and my hydrops/meneires diagnosis, I would take Ibuprophen to help with the headaches, as it was the only OTC drug that seemed to help. However, it spikes my T. But, now that I understand it is only...

About three months ago I developed tinnitus after taking Lamictal and Ibuprofen. The tinnitus was at about 4/10 with spikes going higher - sometimes getting really loud and shrill. Mostly a "sssssssss" sound that tested at about 8,000 Hz. It was worse in my left ear. I followed directions for...

Hi I'm 15 years old and a few days ago I had a sudden ringing in the ears. I've been to many rock concerts which may be the cause. I went to the doctors and he said to take Motrin (ibuprofen) and said it could help. Is this true?

Because I’m on aspirin & blood thinners, I can’t take Nyquil/any other flu meds, not even ibuprofen. I literally just have to sweat it out

What does everyone here take to relieve pain? Ibuprofen and Aspirin are big no-no’s! I have heard mixed things about Curcumin and Turmeric. I’ve heard they work and I have also heard they can set off your tinnitus. Right now I am in a lot of pain with bicep tendinitis and pain in my neck...

I may be a rare case in this, but I swear ibuprofen actually helps my T some. Possibly confirms peripheral nerve inflammation in the ear?

I've taken both 400 mg of Ibuprofen and 500 mg of Tylenol at the same time. They had no effect on my hearing.

...problems I am having right now. I have random pain around the jaw/ear area, and I don't really know what is causing it. I think this is why Ibuprofen/Advil may be helping me, relieving the pain in the TMJ area. I have noticed I am grinding my teeth a lot more. Is it even possible to develop...

I have occasionally suffered from bad headaches in my life. Usually a double dose of 200 mg Ibuprofen would knock it out sufficiently. Yes, it would suck, but I would suck it up. I still take Ibuprofen in that dose with tinnitus (did not notice any obvious worsening due to it). But the...

I take Ibuprofen for headaches, just a normal dose, and I can't say it has done anything to my ears... I guess. Your mileage may vary. The combination of severe tinnitus and headache is just unbearable. I can't do anything about tinnitus, but at least I can fight off a headache.

I get tension related headaches from tinnitus. To get relief from the headaches, I take a half Excedrin. I used to take Ibuprofen for back pain but I think it contributed to my getting tinnitus.

Two weeks ago, I took 400mg ibuprofen when I was having headaches and neck pain. I had taken 200mg in the past, as well as single doses of tylenol, for headaches to no avail. When it kicked in, I immediately developed an extra tone in my right ear as well as a humming that had used to be quiet...

...were 2 distinct headaches - right side temporal region, and a global pressure on top of it. They were daily and relentless. I was taking Ibuprofen through the day and even through the night (e.g. waking at 2am with extreme headache) but not taking Ibuprofen more than the label. Still just 6...

Isn't Ibuprofen ototoxic and can cause a tinnitus onset? I like Aspirin but I was looking for a more safe profile tinnitus wise and then I found about Nimesulide. About COVID-19, I wasn't infected afaik. Maybe I should check more about Ibuprofen.

...and they said my hearing was great. They said more than likely the tinnitus from a month and a half using just a single dose of Motrin (Ibuprofen) daily to help with my runner's knee and shin splints. They said more than likely this will go away on it's on now that I've stopped the...

...a constant tone. A ringing. Figured I would join this group for some information, advice, and some support. I’m not sure when or if this will go away. A separate issue: my doctor thinks I have Costochondritis and prescribed some meds, steroids and ibuprofen, which I read are bad for tinnitus.

Women who take paracetamol and ibuprofen risk going DEAF - and all it takes is just 2 pills a week, study finds Taking two pills a week for more than six years has been linked with hearing loss The drugs are thought to cut blood supply to the inner ear and expose it to noise And painkillers are...

...! Yes BUT of course due to the dental injection I have now been suffering with trismus (form of lock jaw)They are telling me I have to take ibuprofen for the inflammation. Since my original onsite w T I have avoided everything that could be a possible cause. I suspect my original T was due to...

...relatively new, a study shows that consistent use can increase tinnitus emergence by about 20%. Formerly, it was thought only Aspirin and Ibuprofen could cause tinnitus, but now it's thought Paracetamol may be quite ototoxic and can cause tinnitus. If you have tinnitus caused by...

Aspirin is way riskier than Ibuprofen IMO. But if you think Nimesulide is better, give it a go. Although you'll probably have a harder time getting it prescribed because doctors are reluctant to be told what to do lmao.
