ringing in ears

well, it finally dawned on me what is going on. My ears ring, and I wondered if I had a "condition" or hearing problem. I realized (once again since this happened a few years ago) that I am taking a lot of aspirin due to the headaches. I just know that is what it is. I'm going to lay off the aspirin and see if it goes away.

I've always thought that would be such an awful thing to have, and I can't think of the condition now (what it's called). Anyone else run into this when taking aspirin?
 

that's it, yes. Mine didn't really drive me nuts because it sounds just like crickets, and I love the sound of crickets. But lastnight I got to worrying about it, doi!!
 
It isn't great living alone is it:( I was thinking lastnight it would be so odd to have someone living with me that like actually loved me, LOL!! I've lived alone almost 18 years now.
 
Left ear now for about 15 years. If I think about it, it drives me nuts. My hearing aids do help a little but night time can be hell.
i use to play an organ and I used ear phones so that I wouldn't drive people crazy. I know I had them too loud and one day the ringing started and never stopped.:mad:

Ringing in the ears as a sign of aspirin poisoning is very dangerous. BE CAREFUL!

Yes, I am stopping today. If I have to take anything, it will be non-aspirin, but I am shooting for zero anything. I need to see if this is going to pass.

We went out shooting on New Year`s Day and my BIL did not wear ear protection (a habit picked up in Viet Nam) His hearing is now ruined-constant ringing in his ears and aside from that,very little hearing left :(

Oh, I'm sorry Pappy:( Well, I've been using headphones for my movies I get online. I know that may be what is causing this too, so no more of that either. Luckily, I don't like tv that much at all, can play a game, or read. But in this house, we have the bottom floor rooms rented out to students, and me. The landlord likes me around, sort of the house-mom I guess. But anyway, we all have to keep things quiet for studying etc.

Is there a chance that could subside Pappy? I've never read about that but I'm going to. Hang in there, big hugs, Denise

Sorry to hear this too:( My brother has bad hearing, I don't know about the ringing. He was a cop for 30 years or more.
 
I've had sporadic tinnitus since I had German measles when I was 4 or 5. The measles blew out my hearing so that ever since then I've had bad hearing, but thankfully the ringing only happens once in a blue moon, usually when my blood pressure goes up because of too much coffee.

I cut back on the coffee and the ringing stops. I imagine aspirins do the same thing.

Yes, caffeine is probably the culprit. I don't know what else is in aspirin. Yeah, some things we just have for so long we don't remember what it's like not having them. Kind of a blessing maybe;)
 
I have never heard of tinnitus caused by aspirin poisoning.
how much have you been taking?
 
I read about the ringing in the ears, but it didn't say Tinnitus on that article, so I don't know if it's the same ailment. I know from experience the aspirin can be the cause of ringing in my ears. Last night, I took 2 at about midnight. My head aches almost every day and night, for the last week or more. I think it is partly the weather. Anyway, it was still hurting so I took 2 more at about 1:30, too close together, but also, I take aspirin every day, at least 2 and they are 325 mg. We'll see by end of week how my ears are. I suspect this is it, the aspirin. I hope it's not more serious:(

Yes, no beating experience to know what is going on. I have to consider the headphone thing too, but after taking too many last night, I suspect this is aspirin poisoning, or just, plain od'ing on it.
 
Oding on it....too much.

300mg to 900mg four times daily; or every four to six hours.
i learnt that over 40 years ago!
 
Or it could be . . .

I suspected tinnitus from your description, nw.
Tell you a famous person who has it bad; William Shatner. He got it while filming an episode of Star Trek when an explosion damaged his hearing.

Caffine can exacerbate a multitude of conditions.

I think it depends on the person too Viv. If that works for you, you are lucky to have found your amount. I think that little bit I took wouldn't bother another person, but yet, to someone else, it's od time!! We have to be vigilant about these over-the-counter. I know I was under the belief if it wasn't a prescription, it couldn't hurt you, for years growing up anyway. I'm reading more all the time because I also started hearing people say that we have to be aware of our own systems, because a doctor only knows so much (some of them will just give you the latest sample they have in their office and send you off to croak for all they know).

Oh, didn't know that about William. Lots of us unfortunately learn the hard way. 'course his was an accident, and that's different;)
