Hydrocodone and tylenol don't cause tinnitus. Take away!

Thanks Molan! I have an old knee injury from bicycling that I used to manage with ibuprofen. Now, I have options that won't irritate the T. Great find.

...8 hours ago. Thanks so much for this. Wish I had read it before taking it today. My doctor suggested it because he thought I inflamed my auditory nerves due to the extreme amount of Ibuprofen at once. And thus Prednisone would act as anti-inflammatory to bring it down. That was our thinking...

...are a few cases with tinnitus as a side effect but no clear medical explanation for why. Luckily I don't think it's impacted me. Fear of Ibuprofen is understandable. I'm sh*t scared to take any medication ever again. Even the Wellbutrin gave me bad headaches. I hope you're able to find an...

...more about ototoxicity, but reliable data on the web is hard to come by. In your opinion, how likely is something like a standard Ibuprofen tablet (Containing around 400mg Ibuprofen) to cause a permanent ototoxic effect like tinnitus? Personally I would have thought that you would have to...

Ibuprofen is considered bad for t, especially in repeated high doses. If your t is going pulsatile, start thinking about an ultrasound of the neck arteries and an mra.

You'll be fine..give it some time..

...told me Tylenol was safe to take (not to exceed recommended dosage) since I have T. Prior to T, I was taking excedrin (aspirin, ibuprofen and caffeine). I was on Sudafed, ibuprofen and antibiotics, when my T started so I'm a little head shy with any of those. I've taken Tylenol and...

No.

I've heard of someone else getting tinnitus from taking a lot of aspirin. I wonder if ibuprofen can do the same thing?

I have noticed that Tylenol spikes my tinnitus less than, for example, ibuprofen. Of course, Tylenol doesn't really reduce inflammation; it just makes the brain feel less pain.

I would recommend that you completely stop taking ibuprofen immediately. It's no good to the ears and could be possibly exacerbating your symptoms. Also I would check out: whooshers.com

How often are you taking paracetamol and/or ibuprofen? It seems you need to be taking it quite frequently according this report (and assuming they've done their sums right).

You're probably in good shape for remission. Lucky! I'd be surprised if Ibuprofen had something to do with it though, unless you took large amounts for quite a long time.

Isn't ibuprophen (and other NSAIDs) ototoxic? https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/do-you-take-nsaids-aleve-advil-etc-or-do-you-avoid-them-completely.22471/

It is my understanding that acetaminophen is the least ototoxic. Check out https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/acetaminophen/tinnitus/ and https://www.ehealthme.com/ds/ibuprofen/tinnitus/

...from tinnitus off and on since 2013. It used to get bad when I took anti-inflammatory meds i.e. Ibuprofren. If I took a single dose of Ibuprofen within hours my ears would start ring. Then I had breast cancer and when on chemo, I was instructed to take a dose of antacid every day just in...

Hey guys, I have a bad toothache, can this alone make my T worse ? Or is it the paracetamol and ibuprofen I am taking that makes it louder ? Thanks, Bart

I *believe* that Paracetamol is fine for Tinnitus, but Ibuprofen is not. That's the rule I've been going by anyway. Someone can correct if wrong.

I experienced this a few weeks ago. Flonase + sudafed + ibuprofen helped. I thought my tinnitus was getting worse plus I had some conductive hearing loss. It did clear up after about a week.

...me @cviechec Headphone use and loud noise are the most common cause of tinnitus. I believe your tinnitus was there lying dormant and the Ibuprofen brought it out and made it more noticeable. Take care and I suggest you read my article and stop using headphones even at low volume Michael

@RaZaH Are you going to continue taking RTG as needed?? Meaning like when you take ibuprofen for pain?? Not clear on how RTG helps you. Can you explain.

Ibuprofen can cause tinnitus. See- https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/tinnitus-ringing-in-the-ears-and-what-to-do-about-it Is there not any other medication you could take for migraine?

...tried the following: Saltwater gargle with pre-boiled water (possibly a minor help). Guaifenesin (some help but also made me depressed). Ibuprofen (not entirely sure; may need to retry). Jakeman's chest and throat sweets (they genuinely seem to help but aren't good for my belly)...

I know ibuprofen is not good for the ears ... I'm in a lot of pain... Painful cramps and don't know what to take... In afraid to make T worse... Any advice!?

Acetaminophen makes me itch, ibuprofen makes ears ring, I'll have to look into alternatives. But my back is a bit better. Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Nogood , what does turmeric do ?

If your doctor says so, i would do it.

I know that. I don't take it on a regular basis. I take it really responsibly. 1-2 pills a 3 months. Only when my teeth get especially achy. I don't think this amount can do any harm.

Yes...it went down the next morning..thanks

Interesting because the start of my T coincided with large doses of Ibuprofen that was taking to control severe headaches at that time. I have always wondered if that was connected.

I noticed when I took phenergan - an antihistamine - that the PT lessened or disappeared.

My ENT claimed that aspirin/NSAIDS may cause tinnitus but it should go away with cessation. Personally I don't sweat it as I only take aspirin (or Ibuprofen or Naproxen) on rare occasions.

Sometimes I took Ibuprofen 600 mg to ease the pain and go to sleep. That's it. Basically I just waited for it to go away

The ibuprofen should be fine as well if you just take one 600mg dose. Just don't take repeated doses that high. Better to endure pain that'll go away then risk damaging hair cells.

...Seems everyone has a different, although, similar story to tell. Maybe your current sinusitus, has worsened your T, as well as the Ibuprofen. If you can, stop the Ibuprofen and see if your T settles down? Yes, your wife and daughter need you and your need them. Toughing it out isn't easy...

Oh wow really. I'll stop taking the ibuprofen then. I'll keep note of the links you've attached aswell - they're a massive help. I'll look in to the amitriptyline aswell. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

I thought about that over the last 2 months. Then eventually, last time I had an headache, I had enough and took the ibuprofen I took all my life before. It did nothing to tinnitus.

...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...

@sandra72 . Hi ibuprofen is a painkiller and is a anti inflammatory drug .it is a drug that I wouldn't personally take as it's been known to cause and make tinnitus worse .

Anti inflammatory's like ibuprofen can cause tinnitus so I am not sure what your reaction would be for a short course. Any spike in your tinnitus should be short lived....lots of love glynis

nsaids typically do not cause permanent tinnitus. They can raise it in the short term, but only temporarily. I experience this with all salicylicates (aspirin and similar), but it goes away. Ibuprofen and tylenol does nothing.

I'm curious to see if you all take these potentially ototoxic drugs (anything with naproxen, ibuprofen, etc) and get away with it without tinnitus spikes or increases...? I'd really like to know what your experiences are...

I know ibuprofen can cause/worsen tinnitus, but can it cause long term tinnitus/damage? I have an ear infection right now and was just wondering if it would be safe to take one.

My grandma developed (constant, high pitched, intrusive) tinnitus about 40 years ago after her doctor accidentally perforated her eardrum. She told me when she has spikes she takes ibuprofen because it brings them back down. Interesting.

...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...

100 mg of ibuprofen is a very low dose. I don't think you are at any risk of ototoxicity from that, especially since you only use it for a few days. :) Taking 500 mg or 250 mg of paracetamol twice a month too is unlikely to damage your liver. You can use both paracetamol and ibuprofen together...

Ibuprofen increases my T as well but it always goes down after a few days. I need to take it for headaches once in a while since tylonol doesn't make a dent in them, unfortunately.

I've taken Ibuprofen many times without any change in my T. I'd be more worried if I had to take high doses for long periods of time, but I'm not too worried when it's a sporadic use.

I did the same thing for a whole year. Afraid to take ibuprofen from fear of making worse. 2, 3 yrs I am no longer afraid of ibuprofen. It may or may not make your ring a teeny tiny smidgen louder for a few hours. Its like if u had a coffee. It will not permanently make the ring louder. The...

Hi there Do you have hearing loss? NSAIDs; including ibuprofen has been known to be a problem for some. What dose and duration were you taking ibuprofen for? NSAIDs deplete zinc. Perhaps try taking zinc. Not sure of mechanism by which NSAIDs can cause tinnitus, but it's worth a try. As is...

Planning for my Wisdom tooth extraction and figuring out what meds to take for pain. I can't do ibuprofen so does Vicodin make tinnitus worse? Also I was drinking wine at night to relax me and it gets me to sleep (I know it's bad but I feel like we are all kind of in the same boat finding...

I suffer with my back (sometimes to the point of not being able to leave the floor!) and have bouts of taking quite a bit of Ibuprofen, I've not noticed it make any difference to T.

Use of any OTC painkillers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen spikes my tinnitus. As a result I am constantly having to choose between pain (eg. headache, back pain, shoulder pain, every day aches and pains) and elevated noise in my head. This makes surgery - which I probably need - terrifying.

Okay, that does it, I'm switching my official painkiller from ibuprofen to acetaminophen. @jdrumstickz I've been living by Bill Bauer's recommendations for 3 years now and my tinnitus hasn't worsened (except for a temporary spike which was a known risk of a treatment I'm using). No loud sounds...

What dosage & for how long?

Well Ibuprofen helps with both the pain and the inflammation. I can't think of any other medication that would be more 'safe' that would treat both. Maybe naproxen sodium, but it's in the same boat. It's probably safe.

Maybe arthritis can cause buzzing from the inflammation? In that case anti-inflammatory pills like Ibuprofen or Turmeric could help.

No , I always heard this will make Tinnitus worse.

...or another but that are not ototoxic. Some of those are drugs, some are foods, some have to do with weather, some are related to emotion. Ibuprofen is an example of a drug that might in some cases cause a temporary increase in tinnitus volume but that is not ototoxic. When I have a bad...
