Tinnitus: Aspirin is Ototoxic

Aspirin can cause tinnitus. Aspirin can also make existing tinnitus worse. If you take aspirin regularly and you don't know why your ears are ringing there is a good possibility that the aspirin is causing your tinnitus or amplifying it. The damage may or may not be permanent. If you are taking aspirin for sore muscles you may want to try icing the muscles instead of taking aspirin.

If you are taking aspirin to prevent a heart attack then it makes sense to keep taking it. In that case, tinnitus is the lesser of two evils.
