I have Tinnitus, too, and have learned that opioids, many antidepressants and even some blood pressure meds are ototoxic.

Danye1 there are hundreds of medications that potentially can cause tinnitus or exacerbate tinnitus. A lot depends upon the toxicity of the drug (or chemical), the strength of what is prescribed, and the duration it is consumed. The American Tinnitus Association has a reliable list of ototoxic drugs. Also keep in mind that often only a small percentage of people will be negatively impacted by a given drug. I have had tinnitus for 30 years and have found it useful to continually keep up on tinnitus management techniques and on the research that is being done on tinnitus.
