Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 My husband had the swooshing in his head while he was taking Klonopin. It was his meds that were causing the swooshing/ringing Blessed be, Ms.Katurah >keavan wrote: >I'm hoping that any one here can shed some light on the ringing ( actually it's more like a continuous swooshing ) I've experienced in my ears for the past several years now. Certain medications, especially Tylenol or any type of pain medication with Tylenol ( which I assume APAP is ) makes it considerably worse.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I understand your frustration. From what I can remember this has been a problem for me since I was very young. I first sought an answer when I was 19. If the ear specialist doesn't have a cause I'm not sure you'll ever know. My own reasoning has to do with my nervous system. I think it goes along with the fibromyalgia, the cause being a nervous system that is sending false and " wild " signals telling my body I have sensations of pain or tingling. Maybe a slight touch that causes it. In the same way, sound waves and air are stimulating the nerves that send signals to be interpreted as sound and the brain is interpreting them as these weird sounds. Even the movement of blood in vessels could be heard as swooshing. I know mine tends to " pulsate " . Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Sometimes, from time to time, I get ringing in my ears. Usually when I'm overly tired, or feeling a little under the weather. Sometimes the ringing comes from certain foods I eat, or medications I take. However, I also hear ringing all the time from computers, lights, refrigerators. I can hear them when they are 'on.' No one else seems to be able to hear them. It was mentioned that the ringing could be caused by nerve reaction to sounds floating through the air. I'm sure of that with the electronic items. And, maybe the meds or foods make me more sensitive too. Jade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Moderator's note: Tylenol, Acetaminophen are the same medication. Tylenol, is just a brand name. I'm allergic to Tylenol, Acetaminophen, Motrin, and any other kinds of NSAIDs, and if I take them, my reaction (among others that do not relate to this post thread) is that my ears start getting stuffy and pressured, and then they start hissing and lastly ringing. Even after I stop taking the medication, the ringing will persist for a week to 10 days. As long as I stay away from Tylenol, Acetaminophen, Motrin, and any other kinds of NSAIDs, I do not have ear problems. Jade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Aspirin causes tinnitus. If you are taking meds with built in aspirin that may be something you should look into. I think other NSAIDs can do the same. Best of luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
