I'm actually planning on testing out propranolol -- just haven't made it to the pharmacy yet. I asked the NP to prescribe the lowest possible dosage, which is 10 mg. The pills are scored, so they can easily be split into 5 mg segments. I might as well split again, if possible, into 2.5 mg based...

Benazepril (an ACE inhibitor), Lisinopril (another ACE inhibitor, but on paper considered “more risky” than the former), and Guanfacine (an alpha-2 agonist also used for ADHD and anxiety) are the only high blood pressure medications that didn’t spike my tinnitus. Fellow ACE inhibitor Enalapril...

Labetalol is supposed to be one of the safer options, along with Nebivolol. I had to stop taking Guanfacine because it caused insomnia, which led to some rebound hypertension. I suggested Nebivolol as a substitute, but my numbers were good enough with just Benazepril. The Neil Bauman blog has...

I tried it twice, with a break of a few days in between. My notes show that my tinnitus increased about four times in intensity after taking 20 mg of Telmisartan, and it took around two days to clear up. I then tried it a second time and experienced a similar fourfold increase, which again...

Thank you for sharing this. I have a binder with all my health records printed out, and I will place this next to the audiology section as a clear red flag. When I was experiencing ear fullness, some things that helped me were hypertonic saline rinses through the sinuses, Guaifenesin, a warm...

Dose has increased to 2 mg, with no exacerbation so far. It causes a very annoying daytime drowsiness for about a week, but it is well worth considering for people navigating the difficult landscape of blood pressure medications. It also provides some help with impulsivity and anxiety.

Over three weeks later, and still no tinnitus exacerbation.

It might be worth looking into reports from people who used N-Acetyl Cysteine and/or Prednisone after sudden noise exposure. You could also look into using hypertonic saline nasal spray.

For what it’s worth, when I went down the rabbit hole of researching blood pressure medications and ototoxicity — using AI language models and gathering information from sources like Reddit and the Neil Bauman blog — I ended up settling on Carvedilol as one of the three beta-blockers least...

A new random data point: I just started taking the extended-release version of Intuniv (Guanfacine), only 1 mg per day, so a low dose. My tinnitus resulted from acoustic trauma in my right ear, and I experienced Ménière’s-like symptoms for several months afterward, though without vertigo...

CoQ10, Magnesium Glycinate, Hawthorn Berries, Grape Seed Extract, Fish Oil, and Garlic Extract all came up in my research as potentially useful. Some of these may also anecdotally help with tinnitus.

Hello. This forum has come up during searches over the last two years, and I’m finally getting around to registering. I was traveling in southern Europe in October 2022 and walked through a crowded side street at night. I passed by a large speaker that suddenly came on and blasted me...

I developed tinnitus in my right ear just over two years ago after walking by a speaker on a sidewalk, when it suddenly turned on and blasted me. Since then, I’ve been playing blood pressure roulette. First, I had to stop taking Hydrochlorothiazide because it was contributing to the...
