If you’ve done much research on your tinnitus, you have probably already discovered that there are lots of things that can cause your ringing ears. One of the more surprising potential causes of your tinnitus is the medications that you are taking. That’s right. It is actually possible that one of the medicines your doctor prescribes for you could be the cause (or at least one of the causes of) your tinnitus.

This possible link between prescription medications (the drugs that are supposed to help us be healthy) and ringing ears was certainly a surprise to me. I learned of it when my nephew developed ringing ears from the powerful medications he was taking for bone cancer. The medications helped eliminate the cancer & cure him, but part of the price he paid for his cure was long-term, likely permanent hearing damage.

To help you figure out if your medications might be causing your tinnitus, let me give you a list of the types of medications that can cause tinnitus. Based on information from the Mayo Clinic, here are the types of medications that have been known to sometimes cause tinnitus or worsen existing cases of tinnitus:

• Antibiotics: Several antibiotics can cause problems, including chloramphenicol, erythromycin, tetracycline, vancomycin and bleomycin
• Cancer medications: Some of these powerful medications 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: Very high doses of aspirin (12 or more per day)

If you have ringing in ears and are taking any one of these medications, you should talk to your doctors right away about a possible connection. They may be able to change the particular medicines you are taking or choose an alternate treatment plan and provide you with tinnitus relief at the same time.

What could be a more natural cure for tinnitus than stopping taking one or more medications that cause your ringing ears as a side effect?

Do you long for a cure to the endless ringing in your ears? Are you desperate for tinnitus relief? Have you tried every tinnitus cure your doctor could think of, while you remain plagued by maddeningly ringing ears? There could be a good reason why no treatment for tinnitus has stopped the ringing for you. And knowing this reason points the way to a possible answer, a more holistic cure for tinnitus.

Researchers have discovered that for people with long-term tinnitus problems, their ringing ears often have multiple causes. Standard treatments often don’t work for these people because those treatments target only one of the causes of the patient’s ringing ears at a time.

Here’s an example for you. Two common causes of tinnitus are stress and certain antibiotics. Imagine that you are stressed out because the new antibiotics the doctor prescribed caused a bad case of tinnitus and it is affecting your work and your relationships. You go to the doctor and complain about your ears ringing. The doctor, realizing that your antibiotic could be the cause of the problem, changes your prescription or takes you off them altogether. If all the ringing is caused by the antibiotics, this might be expected to provide a tinnitus cure. But if you are still stressed by what happened, the stress itself could be a secondary cause of your tinnitus, keeping it going after the antibiotics are done.

If you are a long-term tinnitus sufferer, your tinnitus likely has multiple causes too. If that’s true, then you need a comprehensive treatment that addresses all the causes, not just one. Ideally, this treatment for tinnitus should be totally natural, not requiring drugs or surgery or weird noise-masking devices. And it should work quickly to cure tinnitus so you can start living a normal life again.

Fortunately, some people are starting to treat tinnitus more holistically, addressing each of the underlying causes of ringing ears simultaneously. If the old approaches to tinnitus relief haven’t worked out for you, one of these new approaches may provide the answer you’re looking for.
