No.

...but that I've seen multiple worrying posts about: Turmeric Omega 3 Bromelain Vitamin D3 Other supplements Prednisone Other corticosteroids Ibuprofen Naproxen Other NSAIDs Tinnitus Talk has anecdotes of everything from Turmeric to Prednisone to Ibuprofen permanently spiking/causing tinnitus...

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).

@Lane Thanks for the link. My symptoms were never as bad as what that patient reports. I haven't taken ibuprofen for years, and for months I've been loading up with vitamins and supplements for my tinnitus which has undoubtedly helped.

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.

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

@Greg Sacramento yes I have with ibuprofen. Grasping at straws. Started working on gentle posterior digastric but believe it will be a process with that splints, physical therapy etc. @just1morething could be. I would be content with a good night sleep.

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/

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

...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...

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/

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.

...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...

@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.

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.

...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...

...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

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.

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?

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.

...I last posted here but here I am again! My tinnitus became totally manageable after a few weeks to months of worry back when I had too many Ibuprofen while working at Amazon. Well, I was out visiting my dad and doing some work on his property when my dipshit younger brother (21) used an air...

Hi all, I'm hoping for a little encouragement and support. I had a severe retinal migraine last week and took 2 Nurofen (Ibuprofen) because the pain was unbearable. The day after I woke up with a second higher pitched bell sound, which is highly reactive. Please tell me there's a chance it...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

@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

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

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 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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

...though no loud sounds were made during the procedure. To combat the pain after the anesthesia wears down, I have been prescribed 600 mg Ibuprofen on solution basis, which I have taken 1 of until now. Due to the possible ototoxicity I plan to “smile through the pain” tomorrow and not take any...

...lot. It’s really bad at the base of the skull, which I believe is the suboccipital muscles. I’m glad to hear that taking a normal dose of Ibuprofen does not affect your tinnitus. Clinical data indicates that tinnitus is only a risk for those who take high doses for a long period of time. But...

No , I always heard this will make Tinnitus worse.

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.

...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...

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

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?

What dosage & for how long?

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