    Ibuprofen, especially in high doses, has been identified as a cause for tinnitus. It may have triggered mine. At orthopedic doctor's orders, I was taking 1600 mg/day for nearly a month.

    My Story: Tinnitus Probably Caused by Either Loud Music, Ibuprofen, COVID-19 or a Bad Fall

    My static sound seemed to go away when I took 2 Ibuprofen plus 2 Tylenol. I don’t know if it will work for you. It changed to a much more tolerable high pitched solid noise. Then I put my hearing aids in after it calmed down after an hour or 2. I hope you find relief.

    Poll: Occasional OTC Painkiller Experiences from Tinnitus Patients

    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.

    What Do You Take for Pain Relief? Ibuprofen and Aspirin Are Big No-Nos for Tinnitus Sufferers!

    I take both Ibuprofen and Paracetamol regularly. Neither have had an effect on my tinnitus. Aspirin, however can cause tinnitus - though I believe you only get tinnitus whilst taking it. If you stop, it apparently goes away.
