Could Sleep Aids Be a Factor in the Onset of My Tinnitus?

[Scarlet]

I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how my tinnitus started almost a week ago. I wonder if OTC meds and sleep aids could be a factor. I've taken Advil PM , Claritin, Bendadryl, and Nyquil ZZZ (not all at the same time, of course!). Could any of those meds cause this, and if so, do you think it will subside once they are out of my system.

Thanks!

Advil PM, Bendadryl, and Nyquil ZZZ all have the exact same active ingredient: diphenhydramine.
Diphenhydramine is not known to cause tinnitus.

By the way, if you are going to use OTC sleep aids, don't waste your money on Nyquil ZZZ or the like, buy the generic diphenhydramine for 1/3 of the price.
