Thank you for the information on Tinnitus. I developed severe Tinnitus after being prescribed Neomycin at a very high dose. It's now been about 10 months and I was managing as best I could. I recently had nerve issues and my doctor told me to take 1800mg of Ibuprofen for 4 days. I followed her orders and now my tinnitus has worsened to a level I never thought it could. I stopped the Ibuprofen 2 weeks ago tomorrow. Is there still a chance that it could reverse? I am very frightened at how loud it is and very upset not knowing such a common medication could cause or worsen Tinnitus. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

...am curious what the doctor who prescribed this large dose of Ibuprofen has to say ...eg why he/she did prescribed so much, has he/she had success with this prescribed dose before, and what is he/she going to do to help you now? Was it a family doctor or an
ENT specialist just curious.... wishing you the best outcome , J.
