I started taking large doses of aspirin (11 325 mg tablets per day--5 tablets upon waking, 2 with lunch, 2 with dinner and 2 before bed) recently and I don't know how but my tinnitus seems to have dramatically reduced.
I'm just recording this here for others. I'm not saying this will work for you, but if you suffer from tinnitus, this may provide some relief for you. There may be others who have tried large doses of aspirin and it did not have any impact, or possibly a negative impact on their tinnitus symptoms, so please feel free to share if you've had a different experience.
If you read my log or my thread on raising body temp. I basically started taking high doses of aspirin because I was freezing cold and Hans suggested I take it for the uncoupling effect. It seems to be working, my body temp rose from a morning temp of 97.7 F to 98.3 F and I rarely feel cold in my core or extremities compared to before.

Another strange effect is that it seemed to reduce my tinnitus symptoms. This is strange but there is evidence of this happening in a study where Diabetics were prescribed large doses of aspirin:
Study: Mechanism by which high-dose aspirin improves glucose metabolism in type 2 diabetes
Under Results section: "The only minor side effects were tinnitus and mild hearing loss, which tended to decrease with continuation of the treatment and disappeared completely after the aspirin was stopped."
I will say that when I first started using aspirin at these levels, my tinnitus symptoms (the ear ringing) actually got worse! It became so loud it was almost painful! I was very bothered by and it almost caused me a lot of stress how much louder it had gotten.
But today I was noticing how all of the sudden, the ringing is almost perfectly gone! I can still hear a very faint ringing, but it is much more mild and I can only hear it if I try to focus on it whereas before it would interrupt almost everything!
I don't know when and where my tinnitus developed from, but I had a bad case and at night I need to sleep with a fan near my head to drown out the sound of the ringing--otherwise I toss and turn from the excitement of hearing the pitch and it's effect on my mind. I began noticing my tinnitus maybe sometime in my 20s. I could have had it sooner, but I did not notice it until 20s-ish, about 8-10 years ago possibly. It's not very clear. It's only been a real issue for me in the last 4 to 5 years though.
If you'll notice, I am taking other supplements which are fairly recent additions, such as Magnesium, C60, E, K, and CoQ10 and I'm constantly changing my diet. I cannot comment if these supplements or changes to my diet are having any impact on my tinnitus because I don't know. Personally, I don't think they are because this side effect of tinnitus is clearly recorded in the above research article with the participants as a result of taking high doses of aspirin, so I believe that my experience is simply the same thing that the participants in this study experienced and my diet and other supplements are not the main influence on this effect just as they weren't for these participants. Of course, I can't say that with certainty, so take this with a grain of salt.
Like I said, I don't have a fancy method or interval for taking the aspirin: it's very straight forward. I wake up, pop 5 tablets with OJ. I don't take any with breakfast because I'm still saturated from my first dose. Then with lunch I pop 2 more. Then I pop 2 more with dinner. Then I pop 2 right before bed. I take vitamin K alongside aspirin as most people suggest. I take about 1 mg of Vitamin K per 325 mg tablet of aspirin, which would come out to about 11 to 12 mg of Vitamin K per day. I try to take the Vitamin K right when I pop the aspirin because I'm scared if I don't I'll cause some harm (probably just an unfounded fear, me trying to be cautious)
Perhaps aspirin in large doses can help if you suffer from tinnitus or ear ringing.
