safe painkiller use with tinnitus?

[bournville]

hi folks I have noise induced tinnitus and hyperacusis been living with it about 5 years.

my question is apart from paracetamol which pain killer can I use without risking exacerbating tinnitus? I have an old injury that flares up now and again. I used to control it with ibuprofen but I understand ibuprofen is an ototoxic drug and to be avoided for those with tinnitus.

Tumeric is apparently an effective anti inflammatory without side effects - any experience and dosage?

Any advice appreciated

from my reading of posts here, different people react differently to different medications (whether pain killers or not).

If you take some medication and then listen for tinnitus I can guarantee (almost!) that your tinnitus will increase.

I’ve not heard of turmeric for pain relief, though it’s said to help arthritis.

A pharmacist would be the best person to help: you could speak to the pharmacist employed by your doc’s group of surgeries or to a dispensing pharmacist

A lot of the discussion about painkillers having ototoxic qualities relates to long-term usage - if people are taking them to manage long-term pain over a number of years, the ototoxic effect may occur. The strength of dosage is also a potential factor - as Rosie says, talking to a pharmacist is a good idea here. They know their stuff.

I took a high dose of Ibuprofen daily for over five years to manage a back injury with no ill effect, I still take it now at the recommended dosage as and when needed and no issues to my current T..

I have a great chiropractor who eases my T. They have to be very gentle. I also have good luck with a Reike master.
