Drove Over a Pothole, Aggravated Tinnitus

Good evening, has anyone had this experience? Thank you very much...

 

How did pepto bismo and aspercreme cause tinnitus?

Nothing special about a pothole, just that your tinnitus is reactive at least to noises in that frequency.

 

Hi, thanks for replying. It seems that the jarring motion of driving on an uneven surface shook up my tinnitus. It happens if I bang my head accidentally as well or other such head trauma...

I researched the side effects of Pepsi and aspercreme, and both have tinnitus as a side effect over long term use. I believe these products contain the same substance as aspirin, which can also cause tinnitus. My general doctor and ENT originally told me not to worry, and that after a few weeks, it would go away. Well, 14 months later there is no improvement...

 

Did they check for hearing loss?

 

I've had numerous spikes as a result of minor shocks like that (e.g., slamming heavy metal doors). They all turned out to be temporary. Note, temporary spikes can last for over three months.

 

True, even longer.

@Brooklyn NY You live in Brooklyn, have you checked the Martha Entenmann Tinnitus Research Center??

Hi, I was checked for hearing loss, and the right side scored abnormally low the test. Not very low, but below normal. As for 3 month spikes, thankfully so far I haven’t had any last that long...
