Aspirin and tinnitus

Guillaume · #1 08-05-2023, 07:54 AM

I grew up with lots of migraines and I was used to taking aspirin regularly, several times a week, from early adolescence. Then I stopped aspirin for paracetamol and ibuprofene, I didn't know why but people said aspirin was bad, maybe because of nose bleeding, or brain hemorrhage risks.

By the age of 25, I stopped taking painkillers on a regular basis, I had found that it was due to hydration and that a good balance between sodium and potassium was the key. I also noticed I needed to drink a lot more water than others, I guess I have a higher metabolism, and/or that's the result of too much empathy and processing emotions physically.

I recently bought aspirins, and the last time I had taken one was maybe 20 years ago. It unlocked channels for me, and it may be a cure for my tinnitus.
I'm also reading that aspirin causes tinnitus.

So now I'm wondering: has aspirin definitely altered my ear and there is no cure (except aspirin itself that would make it worse I guess).
Or are aspirin hearing impairments due to the combined effects of the medication AND sleeping with the head pointing north?

If you want to cure any ear problem the best way is to put two drops of castor oil in the ear canal just before you go to bed. The next morning it will be fine.

I’ve used this method for ear infection and vertigo. All cured with this oil.

If you want more info about this google The Edgar Cayce site on the net.

I hadn't ever heard of aspirin being ototoxic but there's a lot I don't know. I personally suffer from tinnitus caused by an acoustic neuroma.

Sadly there is no known cure for tinnitus but many, many people learn to live with it. The process is called habituation and after all the years you've had the condition you may well have become habituated to it.

Putting anything in your ears needs careful consideration but whatever you might put in it won't stop the ringing and/or noises from the tinnitus after all the time you've had it.

For anyone who has only recently been affected it's JUST POSSIBLE it MIGHT help but do please take care and don't use cotton wool buds etc. I heard a specialist has said the smallest thing you should put in your ear is your elbow!

Thanks for the tip, I've already tried but with no effect. I mean, if my ear is dirty, it will make the tinnitus worse, but it's not the root cause.

Thanks for your message.
Indeed tinnitus is still poorly understood, it's a symptom of something else.

If it helps, I have identified that mine was in resonance with Jupiter and the pancreas.
It's also related to the vagus nerve, and meditation helps in relieving symptoms when it's bad.

I've had tinnitus for at least 12 yrs now but I cannot even remember the last time I took aspirin. More than 20 yrs ago at least. I always take paracetamol as that's safer than aspirin.
I suppose you can still buy it these days, but as far as I know everyone uses paracetamol now, if needing a painkiller.

In any case, I very much doubt there's a link in my case with tinnitus as there a lot of time in between ever taking it and getting tinnitus. And in the past I rarely took painkillers as I didn't have any ailments. So it was on rare occasions only.

For me tinnitus is at least partly related to my neck injury meaning when my neck isn't happy it gets worse.
Also forward head posture (FHP) doesn't help. I'm working on it, but I know more and more people have FHP from hanging over their phones and slouching in general.
I don't hang over my phone as I simply cannot due to neck trouble after 2 accidents. But because of those accidents my shoulder, upper back, neck area isn't strong so I do have FHP and easily slouch as the muscles aren't strong. I cannot easily train those muscles either as even the slightest bit too much triggers the neck injury, head injury -TBI- from same accidents, and then the vertigo & tinnitus act up stronger. An annoying vicious circle to get out of.

In any case... tinnitus has to do with the brain misfiring or being overly sensitive and firing when it shouldn't.
Posture related issues can of course add to that as a lot of nerves going to the brain come from in between the vertebrae in the neck...

BTW... in TCM tinnitus is related to the Small Intestine and the Small Intestine is highly related to the brain via the Nervus Vagus!
This is why gut health is crucial and could potentially be part of having tinnitus. Considering most Western people don't have a healthy microbiome...
But there's kind of like a motorway between the brain and the small intestine via the Nervus vagus.
Might be worth looking into!

I'm currently working with 3 SI accupressure points daily for that. Takes approx. 3 months before you can expect results. I think for me it's been just over 1 month now.

Yes, the duodenum is part of the small intestine, and linked to the pancreas, that's where I had dug in meditation to heal most of it.

To take Iomax words in his throat chakra thread, "it sucks", any bad maneuver can lead to years of suffering.

It appears there are several ideas about potential causes but for now there appears to be no medication / treatment to help the average gal or guy.

Short of taking untested medicaments, treatments or potions there seems to be no harm in trying other methods that appeal to you to try to find relief for this often-debilitating condition.

Definitely.
To me it also seems to be the consequence of other people's beliefs or desires. And in order to satisfy their wishes that are dependent on others' condition, this thing gets created out of nowhere.

Like the belief that one should get married and have children etc reverberates on my life in a way that is difficult for me to handle on my own, but would be 100x easier with another person. This is just my experience or aftermath.
