Can Aspirin Cure/Relieve Tinnitus?

[Leqi]

A very unusual comment as we all know aspirin could cause a bad spike...

Any personal experiences?

No. Aspirin is ototoxic, researchers give aspirin to rodents combined with acoustic trauma as a way to almost guarantee the animal will develop tinnitus, and what do you mean cure tinnitus? As if this is supposed to help?

As a blood thinner it could work.
When I massage my head and neck a bit, the blood goes trough easier and the tinnitus goes down too a bit.

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

High doses of aspirin are ototoxic!

Low doses of 100mg/day should be no problem.

Anything that thins the blood (medications and natural) will exasperate my tinnitus.

Even garlic thins the blood, and can make it louder over time. I find this interesting as NSAID lower the pressure of blood flow to organs such as the kidneys; this is harmful to those with kidney disease. I am also aware that hearing loss (including tinnitus) and kidney disease often go together. So anti-inflammatory products can both worsen and help tinnitus depending on the cause???

I guess I am just thinking with my typing fingers... still it interests me.

^ This is precisely why it is so hard to find a tinnitus cure. Your tinnitus worsens when you take anything that improves blood circulation while mine greatly improves when I improve blood flow and reduce anything that restricts it.

How did you get your tinnitus? Do you have high blood pressure? I wonder if you would respond well to Magnesium.
