A study published recently in American Journal of Epidemiology found that consuming ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but not aspirin, more than twice a week chronically increases the risk for hearing loss in women. Other studies have found this association in men. It has also long been known that acute high doses of aspirin may cause tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. Rather than chronically ingesting ibuprofen or acetaminophen, it would be wise to figure out what is causing the inflammation and/or pain and deal with that. There are also several nutritional ways to lower inflammation, without resorting to drugs. A diet high in plant-based foods and fish and low in sugar, trans- and saturated- fats, and animals products is considered and anti-inflammatory diet.
