I've been having ringing in my ears (tinnitus) which started at a...

Yes, I have a permanent case of tinnitus from my 25 days on this drug. It has been 13 months now and the ringing continues. My doc and an ENT both don't believe it was caused by Lisinopril, but I know it is because there was nothing new in my life but that drug. I stopped taking it after 25 days hoping the ringing would go away, but no such luck. I hope your's goes away.

I have tinnitus still and I stopped taking the Lisinopril last August. Eating a lot of sugary foods seems to exacerbate this .

i took 20 mg of this stuff for TWO days and on the second day, started coughing and my ears were ringing, plus i had a really bad dry mouth. I stopped on the third day, and the ringing continues!! i hope it will go away after all the lisinopril gets out of my system, and I also have lost my appetite. I can taste food, and only eat for nutrition sake...i have lost 8 pounds in less than a week. but i want my life back. Carol

I lost my hearing 03-11-08 10 days after I started taking Lisinopril. My Dr. at ENT say it was not related to this medication also but now I have no 100% hearing loss with no signs oh it coming back. Surgery for a hearing aid is a possibility 3 monhs from now in hopes that I might get some hearing back..........I'm so sure my hearing loss was caused by taking lisinopril. I still have ringing in my ear which my ENT dr said it was phantom rings...yeah sure!

I'm feeling really stupid at the moment. I was first prescribed Lisinopril five years ago and noticed ringing in my ears after about four or five months. To be honest I put it down to driving too much over the years and constant road noise as well as age creeping up (I'm now 52). I always monitor my BP and it hovers around normal or just above. When I visit the doctor however it goes through the roof as I don't like visiting the doctor, never have. Result? The doctor doubles my dose and I now have a constant runny nose, ringing in my ears and dizziness. When I mentioned these symptoms to my doctor she said it was nothing to do with Lisinopril and suggested an over the counter nasal spray as I must have developed an allergy. I'm stopping these things today and will try some natural remedies like garlic capsules and vitamin c.

I have been on Lisinopril for 3 months now and I have complete hearing loss in my right ear. ENT did an MRI and it was clear - no reasons for hearing loss. He put me on prednisone and a viral medication and neither restored my hearing. After reading these articles I will be calling in the AM about Lisinopril
