Simvastatin — Has Anyone Taken It? Is It Ototoxic?

Has anyone taken this and made tinnitus worse?

 

[Luman]

I took simvastatin for years, but I have no idea if it made the tinnitus worse. My doc recently switched me to Atorvastatin. I have not heard of any problem with any statin drugs, as far as tinnitus.

Policosanol has worked very well for me for years with no negative side-effects. My total cholesterol level averaged in the 220's before taking it. Since I began using it, about 8-10 years ago, the average is in the 170's.

Additionally, that's without any changes in my diet.
