Common Medications Affecting Tinnitus

Tinnitus is commonly known as ringing in the ears. Tinnitus is described as hearing a ringing, whooshing, buzzing, hissing, or humming sound in one or both ears. It can be intermittent or constant and often causes distress in those who suffer from tinnitus. Though not an actual disease, tinnitus can be a very serious symptom of an underlying condition such as hearing loss, thyroid disorder, ear infections, and rarely tumors. It is difficult to treat tinnitus without knowing the main cause; there are many factors, such as stress, medication side effects, and noise exposure that can aggravate already present causes of tinnitus.

Medications that Can Cause or Aggravate Tinnitus:

Very rarely is the cause of tinnitus drug induced. Five common medications that researchers have shown to be a cause of tinnitus are Imitrex Nasal Spray, Pepcid, Lopressor, Levaquin, and Neurontin Capsules. Imitrex Nasal Spray, also called Sumatriptan, is used to treat migraines. Pepcid is a common over the counter medication used to treat heartburn. Lopressor is a beta-blocker used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Levaquin is used to treat several bacterial lung infections, skin, and urinary tract. Neurontin Capsules is used to treat nerve pain and is used as an anti-epileptic medication. Other drugs that can cause or worsen tinnitus are NSAIDS such as Motrin or naprosyn, aspirin, epilepsy medication such as Depakene, Lasix and other diuretics, antidepressants such as Wellbutrin, antibiotics such as vancomycin, quinine and other drugs used to prevent and treat malaria, and Chemotherapy and antiviral drugs such as cis-platin and interferon. The patient is placed in a very difficult situation when medication causes or triggers tinnitus as many of these drugs are used to treat chronic conditions.

Medications Used in Treating Tinnitus:

Medication may help lessen the severity of tinnitus. For those suffering from anxiety and depression in addition to tinnitus, antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications can be very helpful. Low doses of Lorazepam or Konazepam used to treat anxiety have been shown to reduce tinnitus. Tricyclic antidepressants such as Amitripyline also help in treatment of tinnitus. These drugs mainly treat the emotional responses to tinnitus and reduce anxiety and stress, which often trigger severe episodes of tinnitus. Anticonvulsants and antihistamines have also had positive results in the treatment of tinnitus. Medications such as acamprosate used in treating alcohol dependence aid in the treatment of tinnitus. Acamprosate helps to reduce the activity of Glutamate; a high rate of Glutamate can cause tinnitus to appear.

  1. It has occasionally been prescribed for treatment of idiopathic subjective tinnitus, although a double blind, randomized controlled trial has found this not effective. I tried Tinnitus Miracle 2 months ago and I found it effective for me.

  2. Some people believe that there is no cure for tinnitus. But there will no need to cure your tinnitus once you get know about tinnitus causes.More many people hearing worsen with age, usually starting around age 60. Loss of hearing cause tinnitus.

  10. CURE TO TINNITUS WITHOUT SIDE EFFECT: I was diagnosed with tinnitus and ears watts. My tinnitus hurt so bad that I was usually in bed for about 8 hours and soreness killers (even prescription strength) don't stop the loudness (except to knock me out) even if I take triple the dosage. Every night that come to pass it always louder and louder and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe me countless pain control pills and pain medication with no positive result. until recently I contacted a Doctor who put an end to this problem. If you are having problem with tinnitus or any ears problem contact Dr. William for advice and possible solution without any side effect (drwilliams098675@gmail.com)

  11. Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Dr Williams for everything he have done in my life. I have been in tears for so many years now, having found that am having tinnitus, lesion after some years of being under extreme stress., . I spent 24 hours freaking out and finally calmed down after reading some testimony on here about Dr Williams herbal medicine to tinnitus. The moment came and I mumbled out to my husband about Dr Williams product (with a few tears) and he was AMAZING – . He was just worried about me been free from the ringing in my ears , after taking Dr Williams medicine for just within a period of one month. We went to the doc together who confirmed that i was tinnitus free.
    Thank you again for being upfront, truthful and taking this pain away from me for more information about his product you can email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com i hope you can also help other terrified people in a similar situation.

  12. I have been in the tinnitus community for a while now and I have experience what you are going though with tinnitus , I do know people that have got
    tinnitus from having their implants done. Ringing in the ear after an implant can go away on its own, but that is BS of what the mouth and jaw specialist said. I have definitely seen and heard of a connection between tinnitus and teeth and mouth. There is a treatment for ringing ears and if you are
    interested you can contact Dr William herbal remedies that what I take that stop the ringing in my ear that was really driving me crazy, don't Lose hope .,I have found a solution for my fellow citizens . If you haven't I would suggest trying Dr William herbal supplement. Again, this is a thing that takes time and usually requires time and patience for it to work WITH no side effects. But I'm not hear to sell you the product, I'm only hear to tell you that it works, but it is a journey and can be difficult. I hope at this point it want away on it own. Good luck . his email address drwilliams098675@gmail.com for advice and for his product

  14. COMPLETE CURE TO TINNITUS: I had tinnitus in both ears for fifteen years with a high pitched two tone sound, the noises are constant and have learned to ignore the ringing. Later, another sound was added, a deep tone that has a sporadic rhythm, that mimics human speech. It varies from soft and muted, to painfully clear, and loud. Have try sound machines, ear plugs, my hearing aid, and medication all to no avail rather I have a difficult time sleeping. Lately I was directed to a Doctor called William on internet who provided solution to the problem. Do not be discourage, dr williams product is a permanent cure to Tinnitus.

  21. I just want to share my experience with everyone. I have being hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy dickson. he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even Exist. They told me Yes and that its a card programmed for only money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions.. Four days later I received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, to my greatest surprise It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $2,000 daily. ATM has really change my life. If you want to contact them, Here is the email address: blankatm156@gmail.com
