Tinnitus and Medication
Could your medicine be making your tinnitus worse?
Tinnitus is unfortunately both common, annoying to say the least, and hard to get rid of. Up to 17% of young people between the ages of 12 and 18 may experience it (Lee, 2018), and it's a common symptom of around 200 diseases ranging from Lyme disease to autoimmune diseases. It can also be triggered by loud noises, getting older, a tooth extraction and even, a medication.
If you suffer from tinnitus and are also taking medication, then it might be worth checking your medications with a qualified herbalist to ensure they are safe and appropriate for you to use alongside herbal supplements. Called 'ototoxicity' a wide range of chemicals can upset your hearing from nicotine in cigarettes to amitriptyline, antidepressants, pain relief, and even some antibiotics. If you think that a medication could be making your tinnitus worse, you may want to ask your G.P. if there is an alternative.
