Apparently, enzyme induction is a reason: https://www.sciencealert.com/who-recommends-to-avoid-taking-ibuprofen-for-covid-19-symptoms

HI Lane, So far I have never had any problems with Paracetamol spiking my tinnitus nor taking ibuprofen. My blood pressure medicine Amlodipine, is listed as can cause ringing in the ears and haven't noticed any problems. You are right to point this out but there are a lot of people (not you)...

Kind of a gamble given Ibuprofen is ototoxic (temporarily, in theory), so your strong hyperacusis may well lead to strong tinnitus any day now. There's a very rare tinnitus caused by otoacoustic emissions helped by this. No idea what it sounds like.

...down. I will try taking some Magnesium too because I believe I am a bit low on that. I was wondering seven months later if your tinnitus is still there and was also wondering how much Ibuprofen you took in the past? Hoping this is not a permanent case for us NSAID induced tinnitus sufferers!

Since last week, I have had sleeping problems and I took ibuprofen to alleviate inflammation after dental work, and my tinnitus was quieter and my hearing was better. I think I have TMJ disorders. Between Thursday and Friday, I had to babysit my niece and Friday evening, I ate a pizza and I...

One must of course listen to his/her own body. That is the best rule of thumb. But saying that NSAIDs are "ototoxic" or "cause tinnitus" is an overstatement or partially incorrect; a panicked newbie who comes here and reads such things might be induced to think that a single pill of whatever...

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...

...of wine, the tinnitus totally goes away. Why does this happen and is it a good or bad thing? I am sure my tinnitus is related to too much ibuprofen. But I know I can heal because I have had some interludes of total silence. But I really wonder why drinking wine would make it silent. Any...

NSAIDs at excessively high doses are known to "induce inner ear disturbances, causing tinnitus and mild to moderate hearing loss", cfr. this paper. The ototoxic effects of high doses (= several grams per day) of salicylates are also well documented, see this other paper. Tinnitus brought by a...

Yeah, I read about that. I am planning to stop taking it after tonight(Friday) or tomorrow. It would mark a week of taking Ibuprofen. I just want to ensure that the swelling has truly gone away. Welp. Hopefully it won't affect me negatively. I'll try using it over the weekend to see what...

...took the antihistamine Promethazine to aid sleep and I noticed there was no pulsatile tinnitus the following night. May try an anti-inflammation diet and/or Ibuprofen to deal with it. For me it is the pulsatile tinnitus that is the problem. And for the record I will never take another vaccine.

...my ears felt congested or “full.” I went to an urgent care doctor just to make sure it would be safe to fly. No ruptured eardrums, take Ibuprofen, and if symptoms continued for a few weeks, follow up for an acoustic trauma evaluation once back home. I felt like I was back to normal, but six...

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...

I have taken ibuprofen but only one dose per day. Since the headaches aren't severe or lasting don't take anything for them. It'just odd that the tinnitus and nausea started after I exercised. I did end up going to an urgent care and they prescribed antibiotics in case of an ear infection. Not...

...I still had no T. When my viral infection returned a second time within a course of a week or two is when my T started. I hate taking ibuprofen and it flares up my T like nothing else but when I have a 104 fever with pain due to swelling in my throat, it seems to be the only drug that...

I was on Ibuprofen,after reading they were potentially ototoxic I decided to stop them,I did not notice a worsening of my symptoms during my time useing these so they're not to blame in my opinion.I was on them for two weeks back in October.

Is there different between ibrufen and brufen?

...seasonal flu, coughing, running nose, etc. No sore throat, but a dry and very violent cough. also I have got temperature above 38C now. Ibuprofen and Paracetamol seem to make my T worse (although it usually goes back to baseline) - haven't seen any correlation with pennicillin. Any advise...

You know it’s funny, I was thinking that once they are both out, I wonder if they’ll ever make a blended version like we have now where they mix Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

I am new to this forum and right off looked for a discussion of OTC pain medications. I was a moderate user of ibuprofen and/or aspirin for years and for the last several years have taken virtually nothing for occasional aches and pains. So far as I know all of them hurt your ears, Tylenol...

...was listening at safe volumes). The thing is, I got my ears checked out by a doctor who said I have swollen eardrums (she told me to take Ibuprofen and Paracetamol and if no improvements, antibiotics). Does this mean my hyperacusis will go away as my eardrums heal? If not, will I get better...

...that may have contributed to causing the tinnitus. For example, many of those who experienced tinnitus with Cipro were also taking ibuprofen. Tinnitus is listed as a possible side effect for ibuprofen. Plus: naps. There are multiple threads of TT members saying their T spiked after a nap...

Got it , yeah. I was just wondering if any of their T ever changed in volume over time. Sucks, cause I never took ibuprofen before it gave me tinnitus. If I did, it was very very rare and in low amounts.

...of my wrist. I took the lowest dose of the medications and quit them cold turkey on October 18th. My ortho told me to take 800 mg of Ibuprofen for pain if needed. I took 600mg of ibuprofen and had started rhodiola that day for anxiety, right before I woke up with the tinnitus. I had some...

Those numbers make me seriously doubt that Ibuprofen was the culprit. If I were you I'd go down the diagnosis path to make sure you're not missing anything, especially since you don't have a root cause for your "initial T". This flowchart can help...

...sorry. I know what you mean about curling up in a ball and cry. I can say I've noticed certain things that make my T spike. It's crazy, but Ibuprofen cause it to spike, and Turmeric really causes a spike. (crazy because some people use it to help their T) I'm glad your Husband is supportive...

Are these NSAIDs or Paracetomol?Paracetomol is considered safe as NSAIDs are considered ototoxic in high doses.I had to take Ibuprofen for 2 weeks in October due to an arm injury and it had no affect on my ears whatsoever,but everyone's different.Try a low dose and if it spikes your T stop...

...asked a doctor this myself for alternatives and he looked at me funny. I avoid NSAIDs like the plague now. But every once and a while I get a really bad headache and it just won't go away until I take an ibuprofen. In that case I just take one tablet. Still spikes tinnitus, but not as badly.

Yeah, I just read that. I am experiencing one of the most painful headaches I have had in a long while. Cold washcloth with ice to the forehead isn't working. Ice cap didn't work. I don't have any tylenol and don't feel like going to the drug store. :-( Oh, thanks for replying.

...an infection on a root canal tooth) tomorrow and the doctor prescribed me Norco (7.5-325 Tab) for pain relief every 6 hours as needed. I should only need to take it for a few or days or so. Can this worsen my Tinnitus? I suppose I could just take ibuprofen at higher dose instead if need be.

...read you used Penicillin, wich i think its ok to take for people with our conditions. I also read you had an improvement with your H using Ibuprofen,... again i think you should consider investigating more about TMJ... ibuprofen is an antiimflamatory medication, wich could be improving your...

...a pharmacy that is one minute away from my house. I bought what I could, an OTC drug for neuralgia, and that's what the pharmacist gave me, ibuprofen. When I became able to, I went to a doctor and when I showed him where it hurts, by drawing the lines along which I had pain, those lines were...

...I did a quick look for the one you've mentioned and it seems fine. You *might* experience temporary spikes with stuff like aspirin, ibuprofen/NSAIDs, pseudoephedrine, etc. But these are almost always temporary spikes unless you're taking absolutely ridiculous dosages over long periods of...

...get Xmas out of the way and see how things go and whether a visit to the doctors would be worthwhile. Yonkapin - I never realised that Ibuprofen can exaberate the symptoms. I guess due to the headaches I have been living on them - but will certainly stop them straight away to see if things...

Thanks Pete - we need as many people as possible to complete it & add anything they can think of. I go round in circles reading bits of this and bits of that on here... and, as wonderful as this forum undoubtedly is, I just end up confused.

Ibuprofen everyday isn't great but shouldn't be causing things to be this bad... nor would noise exposure umpteen years ago. If you have headaches constantly it could be intracranial hypertension (which can cause high ear pressure), an CSF infection, even a cancer... so basically get the hell...

You will want to find a drug to replace it with. Ibuprofen is ototoxic. http://hlaa-sbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ototoxic_Brochure.pdf There's a chance that it will fade. Wait until you are 2-3 months in. If you experience fading, it ought to continue fading. Play nature sounds when...

...writing, homework, or studying (anything involving concentration). Often mentioned by concussion doctors - but research for self. NO ibuprofen (Advil), aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is ok. DO not take within 4 hours of seeing a concussion...

...I only tend to use it when I need to take it for other reasons (headaches etc). My T was noise induced and is still very reactive to noise. After a day in the classroom or a long drive for instance. Paracetamol definitely reduces the volume. Ibuprofen on the other hand sends it through the roof.

It’s for the tingling or migraines I get in my head - maybe 4/6 a day for the past four days. Head has got better and T feels similar, woke up this morning with a hell of a ring though. What else should I be taking for the migraines/headaches? Paracetamol didn’t help. Thanks! Fin

My wife has tinnitus - ibuprofen induced - but she is habituated and she only hears hers what she thinks about it. So she thinks I am overreacting with mine. The good news is as I know a person that is completely habituated I have the hope that one day I will be habituated too. Her tinnitus...

Hi glynis, did any of these people experience a reduction eventually, or did it stay at the same tone/worsen? If you could give me a little more info I would be supremely appreciative..!

To be honest, I knew that tinnitus was a rare side effect of the drug... But it was supposed to be less dangerous than Ibuprofen (which I use on occasion without any problems) so I figured I could do it for a week without taking too big a risk. Still hoping it subsides but the hearing loss...

No I have not. I had an operation for my gall bladder few years ago. They put me on Ibuprofen, drip feed from a bag, and I remember telling the nurse; "this is good stuff!". I never made any difference about painkillers, always thought it was just marketing hype. So when I got my tinnitus...

...of water and watch my posture. I don't like to risk ototoxicity with NSAIDs either but my Dr doesn't share my concerns so I was prescribed Ibuprofen. :-/ I don't have much $ so I can't afford most of the suggestions here but I prefer natural treatments so I will figure out a way how to try...

...part of these blacklists is that they rarely describe the amounts needed to become ototoxic. All drugs have side effects and some kind of toxicity somewhere (liver, etc). I personally don't worry about taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen, as long as it's sporadic and within the recommended dosage.

Well I would say, silverware, plates, crockery clanking are classic signs if Hyperacusis, I have those as well as such things as birdsong sounding wrong and weird. Other people's noises like coughing etc sounding too loud. I also get ear pain, not necessarily at the time of a H occurrence, but...

Ibuprofen and aspirin are both mildly ototoxic. In higher doses they are known to cause tinnitus but it usually wears off. Paracetamol doesn't usually have an association with tinnitus as far as I'm aware, but I suppose nothing can be ruled out if you strongly believe it has an effect on you...

...for a very short while. I am waiting on my next prescription to go through , might go full in this time. One small 50 mg tablet seemed to stop my T pretty much but its been a while ,I am super extra sensitive to drugs , I fall asleep like a baby from one ibuprofen... will report on my second...

I tried a chiropractor nothing. I was also taken by the snapping that it was to intense. Im glad it worked for you. Can you use Ibuprofen for some relief? How much for how long. Or can you use less to dampen the T? Thank you.

...just a bit of irritation, he told me keep an eye on it. I also could put on some cream with Betamethasone and Gentamicin. Anyone knows this stuff and if I should put it outside of my ears? @Jcb Thanks for asking, I feel a bit better, took an Ibuprofen yesterday and the pain has subsided a...

...to sleep and get the T frequency changed to an "easier" or more manageable level. That's my hope for the future as well. I also did a lot of Ibuprofen with Codeine this spring cause of adhesive capsulities, but guess I'll never know the cause of my loud high pitched T because I tick more boxes.

...from virtually anything else with ginger in it, regardless of preparation. So don't think it's some magic tea or anything like that. Also it's more like popping an Ibuprofen. I haven't tried it yet but I bet if I stopped consuming ginger entirely for a week I'd be feeling worse than I do now.

...spicy food (anything with chilis). Eating raw garlic. Using a nasal decongestant spray (esp. steroidal versions like Beconase). Taking Ibuprofen (don't do this one myself due to the anecdotes about spiking, but theoretically it should help). The above will either resolve or reduce the ETD...

...worsening. I didn’t even think about that as a possible cause. This thing is so frustrating. I also had a lot more sodium, some ibuprofen, and tons of sugar the last week. I’m going to hope that is the cause and not Shingrix, cause I’m having a very bad spike right now, and if it’s not...

...really good as a sleep aid. When I saw that Advil could possibly aggravate tinnitus, I started taking Tylenol instead - but I rarely take aspirin / Ibuprofen / Tylenol in general. I had a wisdom tooth pulled recently and took hydrocodone for pain after that - didn't notice anything then...

Could be your wisdom teeth effecting your jaw joint. ibuprofen can cause tinnitus also have a read of the side effects. You may have tinnitus for other reasons like loud music or the gun and just started show as tinnitus. Time will tell after your impacted teeth are removed... Try keep sound on...

...and how I can lead into habituation? I feel guilty as I did this to myself by taking ototoxic ear drops and lots of antibiotics and Ibuprofen to overcome what was apparently an ear infection. I never knew what ototoxic meant up until now. Hopefully some sound advice can get on the right path.

I'm assuming you are taking Flonase for the allergies, but if not, I would consider trying that. As far as Ibuprofen, it is a COX inhibitor that increases fluid retention; hence it spikes blood pressure and tinnitus. I've actually recently experimented with several COX inhibitors and they...
