Before tinnitus I used Ibuprofen rather often for headaches (with often I mean once or twice a month a dose of 400mg). Since tinnitus I use it maybe three times a year. I sometimes try Tylenol but that does not work as good for a headache as Ibuprofen. I never noticed any difference in my tinnitus.

Is it the case that you can't replace ibuprofen with tylenol?

Ibuprofen seems to help my trigeminal pain calm down a bit

Actually, Pitocin is just the brand name of synthetic Oxytocin. Kinda like how Advil is the brand name of ibuprofen or Tylenol is the brand name of acetaminophen. I’m a pharmacist and know this.

Thank you for sharing your experience ! Actually I took a few times some Ibuprofen but I guess it was ok... Good if for you it doesn't increase your Tinnitus ! :)

Hi, I got severe foot pain last week so I took 200 mg of Ibuprofen once a day for 3 days and the first 2 days my T was okay then on the 3rd which was 2 days ago my T just turned very high, I know it's the Ibuprofen. Anyone here had T spike due to Ibuprofen? Did it go down for some of you? How...

Hi Ben: See if you can go without the Aspirin. Paracetamol is less of a concern for short term use of 3 weeks. If really needed, take Ibuprofen. Since you are having surgery in mid October, ask your doctor if you can take Melatonin 10 mg for sleep. Your doctor may not want you using Melatonin...

@buttercake, consider yourself lucky that you can take Ibuprofen. It is known to cause tinnitus. I’ve had this long enough to know that every time I go near it it’s a really bad idea and really sets it off!

This really should be more widely known. I was taking 3 times daily Ibuprofen for headaches for a almost a month straight which may be one of about 8 reasons I developed tinnitus. Nowhere on the box does it label tinnitus as a side effect. When my GP told me it was safe to continue taking, she...

Taken a bunch of Ibuprofen, doesn’t have any effect on tinnitus.

@jeannie what combination specifically ? Trobalt neurontin or trobalt ibuprofen ? I would stay well away from ibuprofen and diclofenac , pretty much to only thing I can absolutely count on spiking my T.

I'm having a terrible headache right know. Normally I take Ibuprofen for it, but I'm afraid about its ototoxicity. Does anyone have any axperience with the above mentioned drugs and tinnitus? Or if somebody is Eastern Europe based, can you suggest any alternative to Ibuprofen and Paracetamol...

I also recently took ibuprofin before my T increased. Did yours ever decrease?

I was taking Ibuprofen for headaches several times a week when I was a caffeine addict. I weaned my way off of caffeine so my headaches would go away (they did) and so I could stop taking Ibuprofen for those headaches. After months of being caffeine free and mostly Ibuprofen free, I saw no...

So I'm reviving this thread because I recently had my wisdom teeth removed and the doctor gave me Ibuprofen 600mg 3 times a day for 5 days, and I'm on my fifth day right now and not sure if it has affected my tinnitus but there's definitely been some bad days recently so maybe it will be better...

Probably Paracetamol? I personally took Ibuprofen several times with no adverse effects (but for no more than 2 days in a row). Since your tinnitus had already an oscillatory nature, I would be careful in blaming the Advil for the current spike you are experiencing.

@Christophe_85 i take ibuprofen for migraines and don’t get any long term increased volumes. Sometimes a spike around the migraine, but this could be from th headache rather than the ibuprofen. Not basing these comments on anything medical, only my own experience

Hello everyone, I read that pain killers with Ibuprofen can increase tinnitus, is that right? I only know medicine with Ibuprofen, can you advise me something safer? Because I have these headaches (left side) that can be quite painful! Many thanks for your help! Christophe

Thank you. I was able to do natural delivery, no pain medication.. So far all I've had is pitocen to stop bleeding and some ibuprofen .. I don't know if ibuprofen is considered safer then Vicoden.. Anyone know?

I have suffered all my life from headaches and for about 15 years I used Ibuprofen like every other day. First time I used it after tinnitus onset, either the pill or the anxiety spiked me, but because paracetamol does nothing for my headaches, I still take Ibuprofen occasionally, when I really...

I'm glad that you didn't have any discontinuation effects from Wellbutrin. Thanks. Ibuprofen made my tinnitus spike back in July, but I was fine when I took it in June for a headache. I felt mixed about taking it a few nights ago, but I was in pain so I decided to risk it. I can see how it...

What kind of medication do you take for menstrual cramps? I used to take Ibuprofen and No-Spa (Drotaverine), but since the tinnitus onset I haven't used any of them. I know that Ibuprofen can be ototoxic. Do you have any experience? I feel awful right now, but still not as awful to be willing to...

For what it is worth http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/tylenol/tinnitus/ http://www.ehealthme.com/ds/ibuprofen/tinnitus/ Tylenol is not listed in the brochure below, but Ibuprofen IS listed... http://hlaa-sbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ototoxic_Brochure.pdf

Help - I am so confused! Everything I’ve heard / read on tinnitus and Ibuprofen or NSAIDs is that it causes ringing in the ears, but my ENT keeps telling me to take Ibuprofen for my jaw. Has anyone else been told this? I’m very reluctant to take it as I don’t want to worsen my tinnitus. Advice...

@Dirtworks, Ibuprofen could be the cause of your tinnitus... It can definitely cause it. love Glynis

*Advil Ibuprofen, not Paracetamol.

Yeah it is, and I agree to not take it. However I do believe it can be helpful if you only take it for a day or so to relieve pain. I just don't want OP to do what I (mistakenly) did by taking high doses for 10 days.

Congratulations. Hope the baby (and mother) are happy and healthy.

Has it gone down?

This is the first time I've seen paracetamol mentioned in conjunction with hearing loss or tinnitus. I've seen ibuprofen mentioned a million times though. To be honest, I wouldn't stress about it - I've taken paracetamol a million times since getting tinnitus and haven't noticed any changes at...

I used to "eat" a lot of ibuprofen too for neck pain. Not sure if it did damage to my inner ear hair cells though. All hindsight at this point.

...pull the trigger due to fear. I won’t even try CBD oil because so many people said it spiked their tinnitus. Heck, I won’t even take one Ibuprofen for a chronic headache. I’ve really put myself in a bad place, and I keep getting worse on both the anxiety and tinnitus/MEM fronts. I welcome...

I use ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

I understood the whole point of not taking anything would be to let the fever try to fight the virus unless it is really high. Does it make any sense to you? Or do you think there is something that might make symptoms worse directly?

ibuprofen is known to be ototoxic.

Taken Tylenol once or twice since my worsening in November. Maybe Ibuprofen aswell, I think. No changes.

Thanks mate, will try. Dropped the Ibuprofen now.

Ibuprofen is good for headaches.

Do they help? How long have you taken them?

...I call a "hearing signature" (anything that messes with hearing/auditory system...not just 'tinnitus' as a listed side-effect). If taking Ibuprofen/NSAID's or other potentially ototoxic drugs (like most of the ...'cin ending antibiotics - aminoglycosides, etc.) stay out of loud sound...

Just took 400mg of ibuprofen, I hope that's safe

Hi I have experience with codeine, paracetamol, and ibuprofen after T onset. None of them caused even a temporary spike. I think ibuprofen is potentially ototoxic, but for real risk of ototoxicity you need to be taking fairly high dosage regularly for at least a couple of weeks.

Ibuprofen can occasionally aggravate tinnitus, but it is usually just fine. If your tinnitus seems to be getting louder on the ibuprofen, just ask your doctor to switch you to another drug. The effects are temporary. I take it myself and have never had a problem. Dr. Stephen Nagler

RoeB, Kara77-- Isn't ibuprofen considered to be extermely bad if you have T? My ENT gave me a list of things to avoid and ibuprofen was included. I am struggling to cope with this horrific condition (initial issues began about 3 weeks ago, incessant ear humming began ten days ago.).

I get a direct result when taking ibuprofen for pain: 200 mg = head explosion via T.

How much ibuprofen have you been taking during that "week of the month"?

Also ibuprofen is known to cause tinnitus.

WHAT???? I'm pretty sure ibuprofen is what contributed to me damaging my ears in the first place.

@Kaelon Hi, I have tinnitus (6 months) after one acoustic trauma and Ibuprofen. But my acoustic trauma happened two months before tinnitus started, first I had hyperacusis for two months and no tinnitus, then I started with ibuprofen for a injury in my hand and the hyperacusis went away but...

Ibuprofen has been my go to all my life, so including before tinnitus. Never had any adverse effects. That's my experience.

Stop taking ibuprofen bro. It's ototoxic. How much have you been taking??
