    Tinnitus from Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine or Ibuprofen

    I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope you recover fully from the ringing. I'd just like to say, taking 2 Ibuprofens causes my tinnitus to spike hugely, it creates a second tone on top of my existing tone that I've had for around 3 years now, and raises the volume of my original tone. That's...

    Is Paxlovid (Ritonavir/Nirmatrelvir) Ototoxic? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    It didn't spike any of the 3 times which was strange, as I had lost my taste and smell for 3 weeks after my second infection with COVID-19. I am certainly, most definitely NOT vaccinated for COVID-19 and never will be.

    Is Paxlovid (Ritonavir/Nirmatrelvir) Ototoxic? Can It Make Tinnitus Worse?

    I've had COVID-19 3x and I didn't take any medication for it. Why risk the possible spike? I'd say don't take it unless 100% necessary in a life or death situation.

    Tinnitus Much Worse During My Period?

    I had tinnitus in my right ear a few years ago. It started in my left ear today! It's been 30 minutes and it has not gone away. Today is the first day of my period. I'm suicidal right now. The left ear was my good ear, now it is louder than my right ear.

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    I had a glass of wine today and it made the ringing go away, then it came back after 2 hours along with a high pitched time which scared the shi* out of me, then it disappeared and went back to the baseline usual ring.

    ENT Said If Tinnitus Doesn't Get Better in 3 Months, the Brain Memorizes It, and Never Gets Better

I would have thought that high estrogen levels where to blame, but your experience was that estrogen actually...

    ENT Said If Tinnitus Doesn't Get Better in 3 Months, the Brain Memorizes It, and Never Gets Better
