Medications causing ear buzzing?

My Dad is on Beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, cholesteral lowering medicine and aspirin.  He suddenly developed a buzzing noise in his ears that is driving him nuts.  He had an MRI, his caritod artery checked, has seen an ENT specialist, has had his hearing tested etc.  All the tests seem to come out fine.  I think it has something to do with the medicines or aspirin.  Anyone?

Asprin will cause this ringing(tinnitis).I have developed this after quinine poisoning.I feel for your dad.This is not pleasant.I see a neuro ear DR in 2 weeks to find out the extent of the damage.

He is taking 2 types of BP meds w/ aspirin & a statin rx. BP
meds are known to cause off/on tinnitis or hmmm noise. Maybe
1 or combo. He can't stop any of them but he can talk to Dr abt
spreading them apart through out day differently.  No, Dad
shouldn't try it before ck'g w/ Dr. Some people have been able
to get relief w/o so much in system at one given time. Like the
prev-post, I get ringing w/ plain aspirin. Mine goes away with
laying down to alter ear balance. Gd-luck to Pop.
