There are many probable factors that can cause tinnitus. The most notable ones among them are constantly hearing loud sounds Cheap Nike Air Foamposite One , obstructions caused by ear wax, and senility brought about by old age. In addition to them, certain medicines can also be held responsible for tinnitus, as a result of which the affected person has to bear the noises, day after day. In 1944, when Streptomycin hit the markets, and was widely prescribed to tackle tuberculosis, this was confirmed. Not only did Streptomycin have the customary side effects usually found with antibiotics Cheap Nike VaporMax Sandals , but it also caused tribulations in the vestibule as well as the internal parts of the ear (Cochlear). This meant that, those who were treated with this drug, experienced vertigo and problems in hearing as well.

The above idea was provided all the more support by the characteristics of the aminoglycoside group antibiotics, which were put into application later. The ill-effects of these medicines were termed ototoxicity, and it was found common in the effects of loop diuretics, quinine drugs, cancer treatments (platinum-based chemotherapy), and even in the medications used to treat common fever. The cochleo-vestibulat structure of the human body is adversely affected by the high count of toxicity in these drugs. In other words Cheap Nike Air VaporMax , the harmful ototoxic effects can rob a person of hisher balance in the vestibular or the inner ear (Cochlear). The result can be manifested as tinnitus, reductions in the power to listen, vertigo, a state of non-equilibrium, and other health hazards.

It would be a mistake to assume that the modus operandi of the drugs with ototoxicity is the same in all cases. In fact, the effects vary from one type of medicine to another. For example, the antibiotics of the Aminoglycoside group tend to bring the glutamate receptors of the cochlea into action, as a result of which Cheap Nike VaporMax , both the neurons of the inner ear (cochlear) as well as the hair cells may get adversely affected. The ill-effects tend to spill over to the available free radicals as well. That, in turn, brings about further mutilation of the hair cells. The neurons of the inner ear are not spared either.

The damage to the hair cells occurs in stages. At first, the ones in the inner rows (the outer hair cells) are affected. Next, the hair cells in the outer rows (the inner hair cells) feel the impact. In this manner, the damages spread across the hair cells. The indicators of these problems become apparent within a short period (or immediately after) of withdrawal of the medicine. At the first stage, the affected person has problem in listening sounds at high frequency (due to ototoxic nature of the drugs). This can lead to tinnitus. Over time, patients start having difficulties in sounds of lower frequencies Cheap Nike TN Shoes , and recognizing voices becomes tough as well.

Medical practitioners generally like to prescribe antioxidants before recommending any type of drugs with ototoxic effects. This is because the effects caused by ototoxicity cannot generally be reversed. The antioxidants ensure that the free radicals do not get mutilated. As a result, auditory problems as well as risks of losing the internal balance of the vestibule get reduced considerably. Hence, it is indeed a wise decision to prescribe antioxidants.

So that there can remain no scope of confusion regarding this, a list of the six types of medicines that were believed to have ototoxic effects was published in the September 1996 issue of the Tinnitus Today magazine. Prepared by a renowned Doctor of Medicine, the list is exhaustive. Here, we would look into this list as it was published. This would do away with any chances of wrong interpretation.

i) Salicylate drugs that cause tinnitus (like Aspirin or similar other medicines):

Ototoxicity becomes evident if 6 to 8 pills per day are taken. The problems caused can however be rectified once these medicines are stopped,

ii) Anti inflammatory drugs that cause tinnitus (classified under the Non-Steroidal (NSAIDS) Group):

Similar to the above case, a daily dosage of 6 to 8 tablets can result in ototoxic effects. Once patients stop taking them Cheap Air Max TN , the problems can be effectively treated. Some of the medicines that fall under this category are Clinoril, Aleve, Anaprox, Advil, Poradol, Lodine, Aleve, Indocin Cheap Air Max Plus , Naprosyn, Nalfon, Feldene and Nuprine.

iii) Antibiotic drugs that cause tinnitus (like Aminoglycoside group, Erythromycin group or Vancomycin group):
