Does it say anything like that on the side effects of the drug looking on line?

I was on Tramadol for 3 days when my Tinnitus started in January of 2014. I stopped taking the Tramadol immediately and went to see an ENT. He said that the Tramadol was the cause of my Tinnitus which unfortunately I still have.

This same question was raised in the following Tinnitus Talk thread.

It is listed as a very rare side effect. Do you take aspirin along with tramadol? that definitely can cause tinnitus. but would only be short term, and would likely stop soon after you stopped taking the aspirin.

I believe it can be a reason.
