...ototoxiticy is do you generally require a larger then normal amount of the drug to cause hearing issues? For example, a normal dose of ibuprofen (when you've never had ill effects before) shouldn't cause T to worsen, correct? When I BRIEFLY researched it it said most drugs that are ototoxic...

@Jazzer I take 400 ibuprofen and 3 hours later I take 2 tablets of 500 Tylenol and I am ok with that. The problem is that it doesn't help my headaches. I need something stronger? I have pressure headaches. Dr. prescribed Meloxicam 15mg but I have not taken it yet. Not sure. People with...

Can you hear it in a quiet room (or when you wear earplugs in a quiet room)? Acetaminophen is supposed to be safe (but it will not help with the inflammation). Ibuprofen and Aspirin are not...

Thanks for the reply. Do you know anything about the Gabatrol (phenyl gaba)?

I totally agree with the above. However, I want to be clear: general research showing that ibuprofen is "ototoxic" indicates that permanent ototoxicity generally only happens in cases of severe overdose, or a misformulation. Taking ibuprofen properly, where there is no misformulation...

Geo, I don't take ibuprofen or aspirin as they are ototoxic. I use turmeric for pains and headaches. I wouldn't ever recommend a drug which will make you worse. Look keppra is really safe, so safe that I've only had a mild headache on it...Look, I could go on about this forever...But keppra is...

...hearing. No loss at all. I hear things making sounds in my house that my husband never hears!! I am really healthy. I have taken ibuprofen on and off for a long time. A couple of years ago during a health problem, I had tinnitus briefly but it stopped. I have been feeling so really well...

Do you know if the steroid shots are ototoxic at all? The physical therapist was a bit surprised when I asked for a steroid shot when I turned down Ibuprofen. Also did you get relief within 24 to 48 hours?

...drugs (NSAIDs), including vinpocetine, need to reach a "critical mass" in the bloodstream in order to work. For some drugs, like ibuprofen, this critical mass is the total amount of drug active in the blood -- and ibuprofen only has an analgesic effect for pain and fever at sub-400 mg. It...

As a side note.. I never was a fan of ibuprofen or acetaminophen but I would take them if I needed to.. but I would notice an increase in ringing even when my tinnitus was very mild. Now I'm getting to the point where I'm considering taking them but I'm putting it off as long as possible...

...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 was more thinking of drug activating cells upstream. This may even induce local changes that would affect diffusion.

...are more ototoxic than others. I don't know of any reports of ototoxicity from a sporadic use of your over-the-counter pain killers like ibuprofen/acetaminophen/aspirin. However I did read reports of ototoxicity when the drugs were used for long periods of time and/or at high doses. So to...

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...

Thank you for your reply. I am kind of ok with taking Advil at the moment because it seems to be helping me a lot for some reason, and also because my tinnitus/hyperacusis was due to acoustic trauma and not ototoxic medication. I am obviously not going to keep this up forever and only plan on...

...Also, you can get more tests from an ENT to rule any underlying problems out not detected by a GP. Any medications you are taking? Even Ibuprofen long term can cause it. I’m in a similar boat, my tinnitus has worsened after a bout of the flu, around the same time as yours - still not gone...

...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.

...is often prescribed as a treatment for acute noise injury, it actually helps many people. It may actually give you a better outcome. Ibuprofen is technically ototoxic but doesn't seem to cause a problem for most people except in high or prolonged doses. I personally wouldn't take it...

...know the cause. I lifted a weight badly at the gym and put all the pressure in my head. I was having ongoing headaches, and taking lots of Ibuprofen on top of 2 x blood pressure meds. Could be a combo of all of the above. It could have been the MRI on my adrenal gland I had days before...

...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...

...Yesterday my anxiety was fairly high.Went down after around 2pm. I went to a friends house & started having a headache. Took some Ibuprofen. Around 10pm my Tinnitus was blaring. Went out to a bar and had a few cokes. This was probably mistake. but did so anyways because caffeine does not keep...

...ringing to a hiss. Usually for people it has gotten better. I still have no idea what caused mine - my hearing is better than normal and I've suffered from allergies for months, my posture is terrible and I took a ton of ibuprofen for years, which is on the list of medication that cause...

I usually took the recommended amount on the bottle, which I believe was 1 pill, or 200mg. If it was really bad, I would take 2 pills in the morning, and that was it. But I stopped taking it 3 months ago when the tinnitus first appeared, and even though the sound has gotten a bit quieter, it...

...heading and posture intensified by emotional stress. Certainly it usually gets more involved. Involvement can also include your use of ibuprofen which places the auditory cranial nerve VIII on alert. One area that should receive focus is your trapezius muscles as this is probably the smoking...

...like every few years) and professional sports events (a handful of times a year). - I don't take any medications regularly other than ibuprofen which I've used on occasion for headaches. I typically take generic ibuprofen but a few days before the tinnitus kicked in I did take some Advil for...

...in my ears and my head is related to other cranial nerves that have nothing to do with hearing. So basically the only thing she could suggest was to take aspirin/ibuprofen to dull the pain. And no, I don't have a cochlear implant. I just have hearing loss with tinnitus/hyperacussis and pain.

...and my ENT prescribed Fioricet. He did mention that it contains caffeine, but he thought it wouldn't cause a spike. I don't take Advil or Ibuprofen anymore since I got T. Tylenol doesn't really help too much. He said only take it as a "rescue". So it's not something you want to take too...

...Numerous possible causes apart from noise/hearing loss which there is/was none. Possibilities include ototoxicity from blood pressure meds, Ibuprofen, migraines, autoimmune, possible ETD (which only started after tinnitus). Doctors kept refusing steroids so I never had them. Anyway, it is...

...threads all over the place - it contains potassium nitrate and it's probably wise to look up all the other stuff that contains this too. Ibuprofen is a good one as GPs everywhere are prescribing it to people with T & yet, again, it's well documented - eg...

I saw an oral surgeon last week for TMJ. He wants me to go on soft foods, plus heat packs on the jaw pretty much all the time and 600mgs of ibuprofen every 6 hours for 2 weeks. I may also go for botox shots in the jaw muscles if this doesn't do the trick. If your dentist does a pano have them...

...it is in both ears. I usually wake up in the morning with it in both ears, too. But on a non-spike day, the left ear settles down within a few minutes of waking, and I hear it just in the right. The only immediate cause of my T that I can think of is that before onset I was taking Ibuprofen.

...of hearing tests as I haven't seen any specialists. My gp said there's nothing he can do and told me to get a certain nasal spray and take ibuprofen to help clear my Eustachian tubes. It's winter and the pressure in my ear is becoming painful so I'm seeing my gp next week and hopefully...

Sorry, this is slightly off topic. I don't take medicines very often (I have nothing against them), but tonight I took 1 x 400 mg Ibuprofen and my tinnitus went from 7/10 to 2/10. That's not all. My ears wont make that crackling sound anymore when I swallow and that feels weird because my ears...

no, one pill of ibuprofen does nothing. it has to be taken over a longer period of time in a high dosis, same as aspirin, to be ototoxic. you noticed your T more because you were focussing on it thinking it might get worse. if you have problems with caries on the other hand and that's why you...

...Personally I have yet to eat antidepressants, though when I went to the doctor after my first days of t, he recommended ibuprofen against the stuffiness. It fixed that momentarily and possibly aggrevated the tinnitus -.-' But search around on this forum, there are great tips and tricks, and...

do not take aspirin and do not take ibuprofen. i don't know about paracetamol...maybe it is safe? but the best option is to stay away from then all...i decided not to take any ototoxic med from now on and over the counter pain killers are noth healthy at all...aspirin in particular causes...

...being at the airport standing behind jets as they take off! I was crazy until the Turmeric wore off 3 days ago. Turmeric works just like Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs, which are bad for acoustic trauma induced tinnitus sufferers. Anti-inflammation meds are not good for acoustic trauma induced...

...needed something to remove the fever and I took my time to research the best option. I think paracetamol has a batter safety profile than ibuprofen when it comes to tinnitus (this is just my opinion though) and I used it for few days without my tinnitus worsening. Just thought to share -...

@just1morething Indeed. Ibuprofen is what did me in, unfortunately. I'm 100% certain that it was the cause of my tinnitus. I took large doses for carpal-tunnel related wrist symptoms due to the advice of a family friend medical student. Was stupid in hindsight, should have just gone to a doctor...

...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...

So there’s no bloody painkiller help at all for us people is there......charming !!!!!

Ibuprophen is ototoxic. It might have caused your T to get louder. http://hlaa-sbc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Ototoxic_Brochure.pdf http://www.ata.org/sites/default/files/Drugs%20Associated%20with%20Tinnitus%202013_Updated2017.pdf Ear fullness is a sign that your ears are hurt. It...

...the cause as doctor originally diagnosed me with fluid behind the eardrum. This is the part I can't seem to make sense of. I haven't taken Ibuprofen for past two months but, unfortunately, I have no choice but to take acute migraine medicine when needed (Almotriptan 2-3 / week). Let me know...
