    I just got mild ringing in my left ear a week ago. My fear is that it's hearing damage. I have an appointment with the ear doctor on Monday, and I wanna have them check for anything wrong with my ears.

    Stupidly Took One 220mg Aleve (Naproxen) — Tinnitus Is Now Slightly Higher Pitched

    Almost 5 hours ago I took one Aleve pill for a headache I was having, and then had the idea of looking up how it can affect tinnitus. Turns out, it's famously an Ototoxic drug. Several minutes later the ringing in my ear when I plug it seems to be higher pitched and more "violent" (don't know...

    Tinnitus, Hearing Loss, or Hyperacusis from Smoking Weed?

    Has anyone ever heard of weed causing hearing loss, tinnitus, or hyperacusis? At 4am about a week ago I smoked a lot of weed at once and probably just a couple minutes later I heard a loud ringing in my left ear. It definitely freaked me out but I'm not sure I consciously noticed it at first...
