Cause of Tinnitus
Probably traumatic noise event
Now I'm scared that any common thing I might take will make this ringing worse. Sometimes I take NyQuil when my allergies are acting up, what's the deal on NyQuil!?
 
I took nyquil yo sleep for a while but it didn't do anything to me. It does have acetaminophen a pain reliever which can cause t in large doses. You may wanna try zzzquil which is just for sleep or melatonin, which is a natural supplement.
 
I had a cold/sinus infection for a couple weeks. I took NyQuil nearly nightly the entire time. It never affected it. I think in general I noticed my tinnitus more during the day but that was due to the sinus infection itself, not the NyQuil. Whenever I took it and when I woke up in the mornings, it was the same as always.
 
I got the flu. I took NyQuil for 10 days. I'm convinced NyQuil was the cause of my T. I took a tablet one night and five minutes after there was an explosion of sound in my head. 4 months later it's still here.
I've always liked the quiet. I was spending a few weeks by the sea with very soothing nature noises.
