Tinnitus Relief and Medicine - Drugs That Can Cause Ringing Ears

If you've been suffering from tinnitus for a while, you probably know that there are lots of things that can cause the condition. One of the more surprising causes of tinnitus is medicine. That's right. Some of the medications your doctor prescribes for you can actually cause tinnitus.

The connection between medications and ringing ears was certainly a surprise to me. I learned of it when my nephew developed tinnitus from the cancer medications he was taking. The doctors were able to eliminate the cancer, but part of the price he paid for his cure was long-term, likely permanent hearing damage.

Let me give you a list of the types of medications that can cause tinnitus. According to the Mayo Clinic, here are the types of medications know to sometimes cause or worsen tinnitus:

Antibiotics: Several antibiotics can cause problems, including chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, vancomycin and bleomycin

Cancer medications: Some of these powerful drugs that can cause tinnitus include mechlorethamine and vincristine

Diuretics: Bumetanide, ethacrynic acid, and furosemide

Quinine medications and others (such as chloroquine) used to treat malaria

Aspirin: When taken in extremely high doses (12 or more per day)

If you experience ringing in ears and are being treated with one of these medications, you should discuss the situation with your doctors. They may be able to change the way they are treating you and provide you with tinnitus relief at the same time.

What could be a more natural cure for tinnitus than stopping taking a drug that causes ringing ears as a side effect?
