A wine buzz enables me to enjoy music at very low volumes. The only time I wake up with a spike is if something was too loud, and I am very careful about levels. My tinnitus is normal this morning. (Normal for me is still loud, and my tinnitus ramps up throughout the day. By evening it is louder.)
That's interesting. I don't drink anymore but I might start drinking some wine if it makes me worry less when creating music. It's harder to enjoy now that I'm so tense around sound, not to mention my T can't be masked at moderate volume.
