Double blind studies aren't what they should be...."

i kinda thought that with all the information and references you were offering this up as a possible effective therapy....i get it now... you are not, .....my mistake, i apologize
as for double blind studies, yeah they are often far from what we would like them to be, but the alternative is anecdote which is even more problematic
as for aspirin, in fact, the tinnitus aspirin causes is very often temporary, ie reversible, in the vast majority of cases

after 100 years of use and even more by native cultures that used tea from willow bark it seems to me aspirin works as indicated
but i agree that aspirin should have some warnings on the label
btw, just as a side issue, which you did not raise, but i will because so many people choose paracetamol over aspirin... paracetamol in cumulative doses near or slightly above the recommended max daily dose poses a substantial risk for liver toxicity. ..... in recent years has caused more causes of liver failure than alcohol and a number of others combined !
