Question: Any aspirins with caffeine will make your tinnitus worse, as well as anything containing caffeine will. Excedrin has caffeine. I'm not sure which other aspirins do.

Answer: Caffeine: We recommend that you limit your caffeine intake as much as possible. Caffeine is the most common aggravator of tinnitus because it is a stimulant and may constrict blood flow to the ear. If you are a person who must have their coffee to get started or drink more than three cups per day, then you should slowly change to decaffeinated coffee. Other products such as caffeinated colas, tea, and chocolate also have caffeine. Remember, decaffeinated products still have caffeine, but at lower levels. Remember to read the labels for caffeine. http://www.earaces.com/tinnitussupplements.htm
