...to focus on orofacial pain but want to take a veryconservative approach. So far they have only given me muscle relaxant at night and 400mg ibuprofen per day. My tinnitus appeared after I started taking ibuprofen regularly. I asked an ENT acquaintance who said NSAIDs like Ibuprofen are not...

Ibuprofen has been my go to all my life, so including before tinnitus. Never had any adverse effects. That's my experience.

Congratulations! Wish you and the baby (What's his or hers name?) all the best ^_^.

I know that ibuprofen can cause zinc and magnesium defiency, so you may relieve the tinnitus by taking these supplements. Talk to your doctor to see if it' a good idea and for the right doses. I doubt ibuprofen caused your tinnitus after a short term of use, maybe many years of abuse with...

Caved in, took some ibuprofen during the night, because paracetamol did nothing for the 4-day-headache. No spike yet.

If your tinnitus is noise induced will for example Ibuprofen make it worse or Ibuprofen can cause tinnitus??? Same with all other painkillers etc .... I read this a lot on this forum but I cannot make out if it makes matters worse or when you do not have T can cause T. Please enlighten me! o_O

Congratulations! If given the choice, I would avoid Ibuprofen.

When I had my wisdom teeth pulled out, they gave a prescription for ibuprofen. Took 400 mg two to three times a day for 3-4 days if I recall, and no change in tinnitus. Here's a good thread about pain meds and tinnitus...

If you have pains use turmeric as it's great for pain relief. I recommend using NAC or getting trobalt asap as it may help stabilise your condition before it gets worse. Yours may not be permanent, but I'm afraid nobody can say for sure. Good luck.

ibuprofen + codeine is on the T cause list, so I wouldn't bet on it to improve T if it in fact can create T. I did quite some amounts of ibuprofen + codeine in the months prior to my T. I can only speculate to what extent it contributed, but it's always on the list of potential T creators.

Do they help? How long have you taken them?

Ibuprofen and other nsaids can cause increase in t.

...need one, luckily) a few times without any problems. If anything, it lessened the tinnitus. The problem is taking high doses, and according to the last doctor I saw the tinnitus you may get from taking too much ibuprofen is just temporary. The doctor also suggested using ibuprofen over...

Hmm. I only recently found out that ibuprofen can potentially effect tinnitus. I'd taken it off and on throughout the years. I can't say I noticed a link but I'm not certain. My girlfriend, who is a musician on the side, experiences frequent bad headaches and takes a lot of ibuprofen, pretty...

I take 2x 200mg Ibuprofen without a problem, when needed. It actually helps when my ear feels inflamed and like burning. Everyone's body chemistry is different. Hope you are feeling well.

Flonase , sudafed, and ibuprofen did it for me in a few days.

I forgot to mention the day before I took 1 ibuprofen tablet, don't know if that corelates to my current tinnitus.

Hello ! Thank you for your answer, actually what I have right now is Ibuprofen at 400mg, I don't know if this is a heavy dose... Trying not to take it every time I have headache, but these days are difficult...

I also know ibuprofen depletes you of zinc (an inhibitory neuromodulator?)

I think you're going to be fine. Ibuprofen usually doesn't cause permanent harm.

I also suffer from bad headaches occasionally. I usually try to rough it out, but maybe I’ll try some OTC painkillers next time.

No, in fact Ibuprofen might make it worse....again , see a doctor.

No not for discontinuation. All side effects wore off eventually - except the tinnitus. Glad Ibuprofen wasn't a problem for you. It seems you have to take Ibuprofen in big quantities to give you tinnitus. I know someone who got it from painkillers and he was taking several tablets daily for...

...pull the trigger due to fear. I won’t even try CBD oil because so many people said it spiked their tinnitus. Heck, I won’t even take one Ibuprofen for a chronic headache. I’ve really put myself in a bad place, and I keep getting worse on both the anxiety and tinnitus/MEM fronts. I welcome...

Ibuprofen does not contain salicylic acid..

...long after a root canal. However, I do not think it was the surgery that did it, but the fact that the dentist recommended I start taking Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling, which I did. That was a fateful decision, as the Ibuprofen subsequently proved to be the major factor that pushed me...

Having gotten used to my T i have had a massive spike today and have just realised that i have taken 200mg pill of ibuprofen earlier today. That must be linked surely as i had no idea that ibuprofen is potentially ototoxic. Took another 200mg this evening so hope this doesn't cause any long...

Yes low dose is safe... ibuprofen causes tinnitus easily.. as does aspirin and naproxen.

@glynis, thanks, yes, I know now that Ibuprofen can cause tinnitus and I assume a tinnitus spike as well. I was taking just one in the morning. I already had tinnitus when I started on the Ibuprofen and I had stopped long before the spike. It's possible I suppose but with my 40 dB mid-high...

I take acetaminophen and ibuprofen sporadically (and at OTC dosages) and haven't noticed any ill effect.

did you rupture your eardrum with the q-tips? looks to me like your use of ibuprofen is the real cause.

Ibuprofen caused mine. Thanks for your post, very helpful reading about drug induced tinnitus improving.

Click I added IPOD use...I suspect Ibuprofen and Trilipix (for cholesterol) too

Congratulations on the birth! I believe you should be fine using Ibuprofen short term.

Stick to Paracetamol, 1000mg a time, for more "regular use" with pain. Avoid NSAIDs and ibuprofen. IMO. Especially NSAIDs, such as Voltaren, have a history of potentially triggering tinnitus.

Good to hear!

I take acetaminophen and ibuprofen when needed and haven't noticed any impact on my T.

I have taken antibiotics, ibuprofen, diclofenac, paracetamol etc.. all with 0 effect on T.

Well, Ibuprofen is said to affect tinnitus, does yours fluctuate normally? Edit: englanniksi täällä:)

...you notice a temporary spike, try not to worry and let time take care of it. I see Carlo gave you proper advice above. I have taken both ibuprofen and paracetamol, and no difference in tinnitus. Paracetamol is apparently the safer choice. See this thread: Should we worry about...

Not all. I'll still take ibuprofen if I ache somewhere. I just won't go overboard.

I agree with @GregCA that it probably wasn't the Ibuprofen. Knowing about your sport injury might help. Besides from your actual injury are you experiencing any other problems, such as a sore neck, sore jaw, sore anything?

Hi @James69 In large quantities yes, I took ibuprofen for only two weeks at a time (what my doctor told me to do) just to see if it will help the inflammation, and it did! However, physical/massage therapy worked the best to lower down the T. I don't take ibuprofen anymore, rather curcumin...

I understand this, but if T is noice induced and before T i used ibuprofen and did not get it , would it make it worse..... I do not use it now what so ever but I realy want to know if this only regarding people who T was induced by medicine in the first place. When a gun shot causes tinnitus...

Funny that I forgot that I was taking ibuprofen when my T started as well!

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but what are the chances of getting permanent tinnitus from 200 mg tablets of Ibuprofen taken like, once or twice a month? The information I'm finding on this is shoddy at best.

According to this, http://www.purdue.edu/hhs/slhs/documents/ototoxicguide.pdf It seems to state Ibuprofen can give tinnitus symptoms in 3-9%. I don't know about long-term. If that percentage is right, it most certainly includes temporary tinnitus too. I've taken Ibuprofen many times after...

And I do not mean only ibuprofen but any other medicine that's on our banlist.

Quite a strange study. I've taken Panadol without any risk to Tinnitus, but don't touch ibuprofen.

Did your tinnitus get any better after your hearing stabilized? also please quit taking ibuprofen

Thanks for sharing this information. Some medication like Aspirin, ibuprofen etc may help relieve mild migraines.

Originally voted haven't taken any, but recently took some Ibuprofen. Meds usually have a short lived effect on me but it actually made my tinnitus lower for a bit.

Welcome to the forums. Yeah ibuprofen can be ototoxic, but it's actually pretty rare. How long were you taking it? It usually would have to be over a fair amount of time to damage the ears with ibuprofen. But it isn't unheard of.

Well, the GP told me to take 400mg of ibuprofen 3x/day for 10 days because he thought I might still be inflammed from an infection. The morning after the 10th day, I woke up to T...:eek:

@Vegas Robb did the ibuprofen spike go down for you? How many days?

...reply. I did not rupture my eardrum as I had my ears checked a bunch of times after and the Doctors all said my ears looked perfect. But I also do believe Ibuprofen is a culprit. I also had to take some when I got my wisdom teeth pulled not knowing there were ototoxic affects until recently.

Don't take Ibuprofen, it's very damaging to the ears.. As fas as your question i don't know, sorry.

I did read an article once that stated that products containing ibuprofen can possibly cause an existing T condition to temporarily worsen. Advil does in fact contain ibuprofen. However, I have used it for years and have never experienced any change in my T condition. If you've never taken it...
