Humira and tinnitus

 

Question  I have been taking Humira pen shots 40mg for the past 6 months. I have started having Tinittus really bad after each injection. Could the Humira be causing the tinittus?

Hi Rebecca,

thanks for your question.  I have never heard of anyone developing tinnitus (buzzing/ringing in the ears) after Humira injections.  But, it could be related it if occurs everytime.  It is always a good idea with tinnitus to have an evaluation by an otolaryngologist (ear-nose-throat doctor) to make sure there is no other pathology.  If nothing else is found, it would be interesting to see if the symptom disappears with a few weeks off the medication.
