Sounds familiar, what did you eat prior? I agree that you should do an MRI as soon as possible. Thought ibuprofen was ototoxic? I wouldn't recommend ibuprofen. "Ibuprofen causes tinnitus in 1% to 3% of the people taking it according to the PDR"

should I keep taking Ibuprofen even tho my tinnitus is kinda back to normal?

@stickywicket I don't take any kind of ibuprofen or aspirin anymore if I can help it. Wasn't a fan of it anyway.

@bill 112 woww your extremely lucky that your H got cured with ibuprofen, I think with me would be the opposite. Your right everybody's different. So loud sounds doesn't hurt you at at all anymore?

...for a few days - I thought it was an ear infection (I had just gotten over a standard cold). I was having trouble sleeping, even with Ibuprofen and Tylenol. Yesterday, I went to urgent care; the doctor took one look and said that I had pretty much 95% earwax obstruction in that ear and about...

You're lucky, question does your diet effect you T? Do you stay away from sugars, caffeine etc..?

Thanks for the positive vibes man. I'm almost to my second month though kinda losing hope every day. Appreciate the help

Mine went down

I have taken Ibuprofen many times without noticing any effects on my tinnitus. I don't know about Tylenol. I don't think you should pay too much attention to medicines affecting tinnitus. This causes undue stress and anxiety and will make you believe when taking certain medicines has made your...

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...

Ibuprofen is an ototoxic medication. I know at least one person who got a permanent spike after taking it. Then again, you took it and seem to be ok. Still, if I were you, I wouldn't take it for a long time, and would try to not take it. This drug appears on...

If the shot numbed your mouth and the T went down then its a very good sign.

This should help with the amoxicillin question: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/can-amoxicillin-cause-or-exacerbate-tinnitus.475/ Here's something about codeine as well: https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/should-tinnitus-sufferers-worry-about-paracetamol-ibuprofen-codeine.585/

Thanks for the information ! :)

Four days only...

...I don't think my PT is due to vascular disease, more likely inflammation. Anything which increases congestion, head colds, sinus infection etc, brings on my PT. It lessens when I take ibuprofen.(Though ibuprofen and NSAIDs are implicated in tinnitus causation in some folk). You nailed it for me.

tumeric and cats claw are alternative analgesics

Inspiring, what caused your T? I also have drug induced T, by measly Ibuprofen believe it or not. Not sure I can see myself living 30 years with this shit, maybe I can still hold out hope, even though that might be unhealthy.

My T is loud again this morning guessing it takes a while for the swollen and inflamed to go down? Is it ok to take my moms ibuprofen it's 800mg i ran out of mine but my bottom right still hurts

I began taking Ibuprofen for a few weeks in October to help with my H,had no other choice really as my ears felt like they were swollen,it went from my ears the whole way down my jaw and Paracetomol wasn't helping.It made a HUGE difference!Anytime I heard a sound that hurt and I could feel the...

Hey guys, I'm having the same problem after taking 2 advil (400mg ibuprofen) 3 days ago. Crazy spike that's still going strong. Good to hear it went back down for you guys, let's hope the same works out for me..

Almost any drug can temporarily worsen tinnitus but only a few drugs are truly ototoxic. Do not worry needlessly. Paracetamol is the brand name of Tylenol (acetaminophen) in the UK. Ibuprofen, like aspirin, in low doses is not ototoxic.

Yes, I heard that paracetamol is the safest option. But unfortunately it doesn't do anything for me. So I would definitely recommend @PeteJ to try that.

...it so. For a year I couldn't walk or do any other movement without causing bad flare ups that lasted for weeks. Also, I'm not talking ibuprofen here. Maybe kratom and high doses of CBD? I wouldn't usually recommend kratom but hey, doesn't really matter if you would be dead otherwise. And...

I was able to get mine after less than a week of pain. If you are not taking Ibuprofen, there is nothing to wait for.

No foods or drugs (caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, salt, sugar, ibuprofen, benadryl, acetaminophen, cannabis, all claimed to affect T) change my T one bit. CHEWING and SWALLOWING any foods, however, and making any neck motion like that, spikes the shit out of my T.

I have some type of terrible flu-like bug and have had take ibuprofen to reduce the fever which has driven my T up considerably...ugh I hope that it will go back down but my T has a mind of it's own...

...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...

...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...

I don’t see why it couldn’t be. It’s well known that things like aspirin are ototoxic (as well as damaging to the liver). Many people report temporary ringing in the ears when taking normal doses or too much acetaminophen/ibuprofen

This question comes up often when it comes to drug ototoxicity. I've read about both cases on here actually, so both outcomes are possible, but there is a good probability that healing happens after discontinuing the drug.

Ibuprofen makes my Tinnitus more noticeable. If you can't be without it, why not try some simple masking technique such as placing a small water fountain near you, leaving the TV on, etc? I feel you should talk about medication and side effects to a doctor.

...have to look into all of that. I read a lot of information about glutamate building up in the ear after noise trauma and causing damage to the hairs. Some theories suggest glutamate antagonists are effective at lowering tinnitus. Things like NAC and Ibuprofen but also alcohol and certain drugs.

I'm not trying to scare anybody, NSAIDs are ototoxic and this guy is trying to figure out his tinnitus. For all we know that could be causing it. I'm pretty sure he knows to take everything on the internet with a grain of salt, and if he really really needs to take ibuprofen, nobody's stopping him.

How is your T now? Mine started in the exact same fashion. is

...have tinnitus in both ears, roaring in right, as well as the sound distortions, vertigo, nausea, headaches. I am living a NIGHTMARE. Audiologist and ENT are baffled. Have been on steroids, antihistamines, antibiotics, muscle relaxers, Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Advil, and Ginkgo biloba. MRI...

I know Tramadol can be ototoxic and that you should stay away from Ibuprofen too. I had a herniated disk in my lower back 3 years ago so I looked up Tramadol recently just out of curiosity. I hope the pain will go away soon!

@Fin Just want to let you know that I take Ibuprofen with no problems. It doesn't aggravate my tinnitus. Every person is different and react different to medications. With tinnitus, it is basically a trial and error which ever way you go. Hope you are doing better these days. Once...

...may be worth a shot to reduce any inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for noise induced tinnitus. I personally would not take the ibuprofen. This always caused my tinnitus to spike and I know of many others with tinnitus that had the same problem. Hopefully your tinnitus will fade...

Ah man, I feel your frustration! My tinnitus had pretty much gone away after a couple of months. (It was caused by taking a few ibuprofen, aspirin - and I now know paracetamol tablets). I had abit of pain last week and somebody persuaded me to try a paracetamol tablet. I thought it was just the...

...like a high pitch squeal in both ears. It was stupid really as the reason I got this thing was I had about 5 days of taking paracetamol, ibuprofen and aspirin for some pain, when I don't normally take any painkillers at all. The tinnitus started at the end of those 5 days. I assumed it was...

Had a bad noise today so took Gaba Calm. Seemed to work pretty well. Maybe that and hearing aids? I took 3 ibuprofen so maybe that helped also. Gaba Calm may have side effects with 750 mg dose. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/gaba-calm-for-tinnitus.21424/

...it is idiopathic. But I am highly certain that my tinnitus was caused - or at least made vastly worse - by taking pharmaceutical doses of Ibuprofen after a root canal surgery and a back injury. The doctors really don't buy that argument, but I feel confident about it because the correlation...

I have killer cramps (sorry probably tmi!) and I've read that ibuprofen can make tinnitus worse. I haven't been taking pain medication at all and it spiked after I started to take cephelexin- I was wondering if I should take any pain meds? Cramps are really bad.

...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.

...sounds like something from back in the Middle Ages!) but basically I've been told to stay on my antibiotics (amoxil) and start taking ibuprofen for the pain and to reduce the swelling in the lining of my lung. And unfortunately my safe option of Panadol won't cut it, so it has to be...

I was surprised to see that Ibuprofen is able to damage the cochlea .And reading the above comments reminded me to say that some nasal sprays can also damage the cochlea . One of the ingredients is contained in the mixture. I think chemists shops should have high powered magnifiers to read all...

Not so good so far. The Dr nicked the back of the ear behind the eardrum . But only short term pain. Last night not so good. Lots of ear pain and some pulsing tinnitus 4 hours. Much better after 400mg ibuprofen in the morning. Good luck Alex.

@Gin . Don't take aspirin for pain relief. It's a known fact to much aspirin will give you tinnitus and will make it a whole lot worse. As for ibuprofen it's a anti inflammatory drug and they are also bad if you have tinnitus.

@Bleep thank you and yes I believe mine was Ototoxic as well either from Augmentin (it started around the time I started the antibiotic) or Ibuprofen that I was taking daily twos before onset (but I’ve been taking ibuprofen my whole life with no issue) however I also took the zpack (2 pills) a...

There is no way to know if it will go away. It's best to go see a doctor. It wouldn't be wise to let an infection unchecked.

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...

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...

Yes your right drugs such as Ibuprofen aren't good if you have tinnitus. When you have tinnitus you get to know the good the bad and the ugly on pharmaceutical drugs. All anti-inflammatory drugs are known to crank up the volume if you have tinnitus.

Diclofenac and Ibuprofen spike my tinnitus severely. Diclofenac also caused my TTTS to go crazy for awhile. Like days or weeks I can’t remember exactly.

...still start to ache and hurt at some point, guaranteed. Any opinions? It really feels like a sharp ache, or even a painful itch. Taking ibuprofen helps to some extent, but after 18 years of skiing, 10 years at an expert competitive level, and of course PLENTY of injuries as a result, I have...

Can those meds spike your tinnitus.. I dont want to take meds that can make it worse because when i slightly tore my elbow last year i was taking ibuprofen for the pain and i think that spiked my ear since inwas taking it for 3 weeks..
