Aspirin does cause bleeding. In my case it was nose-bleeds but it lasted for about a month with a nose-bleed on average every other day. Aspirin stopped and bleeding stopped. I am now on a reduced dose.
Yes it can cause bleeding. This is true. But as the presenter points out, it is a risk/benefit balance. The bleeding is not life threatening, and as you say, it can be modulated via dose.
in med school (back in the day) they taught that aspirin caused a very slight amount of GI bleed, they termed as an 'occult bleed'. It's why most aspirin is sold as a coated aspirin, to help avoid such a thing.
I was taking a daily baby aspirin and started having tinnitus. It was weird, like a low rumble no one else could hear. When I stopped taking the aspirin, the tinnitus went away.

Taking it with baking soda helps, I believe the Aspro clear (large tablets, that foam when they are dropped in water) was developed with that in mind.
