Hi! So, drinking alcohol increases my tinnitus alot, its like 3 times higher when i drink alcohol. Drinking coffee makes my tinnitus louder in my left ear (not as much as alcohol). Whats the science behide this? Why is alcohol and coffee increasing my tinnitus? If they know the cause, how hard...

...less distressing (somewhat) because I hoped it would go away, but it became very distressing and I began drinking a lot, which evolved in alcohol abuse, to sleep and ignore it during the day. Overtime I got better at habituating with it, and could mostly not be bothered by it during the day -...

...noticed when I have a beer, my tinnitus goes away for a while until the body gets rid of it, and then the T comes back (sometimes louder). Alcohol suppresses glutamate production, yes? And this is what AM-101 and OTO is suppose to help with. So, question... Do chronic sufferers experience...

I'm in a real pickle now... I've been battling alcohol for some time. It was an issue before tinnitus, but now it's worse because I use alcohol for the stress and sleep. I get withdrawals if I stop, so it's not good.... Anyway, my problem is this: Valium really helps with alcohol withdrawal...

Hi everyone! Yesterday I drank alcohol, pretty much but not too much. You got it... Anyway, my T is louder today. Has anyone experienced this? Will it go back to normal soon?

Who knew plastic containers can sound like a bomb when opening them. And no I'm not on any drugs or alcohol!

We all know more or less how alcohol theoretically affects GABA receptors and how in general it's a very bad idea to mess with those, but I wonder how tinnitus sufferers manage their relationship with alcohol, since for some it can cause instant spikes whereas for others it can give a temporary...

Alcohol completely resolves my symptoms. Anyone else?

...and even one day where I could barely hear it over my girlfriend’s breathing while she was sleeping! After the onset, I stopped drinking alcohol for almost a year, but I didn’t change my diet or anything. However, I did avoid loud events for a long time. If you have any questions, feel free...

Okay, so I hadn't drank any alcohol in like 16 years or so but I decided to see the other day if it would lower my tinnitus. I drank I think maybe around an ounce of liquor (not sure, but it definitely wasn't enough to get me drunk). Anyways, it did not lower my tinnitus. My question is, if...

...and had an audiologist do a hearing test which they deemed to be "perfect." The only explanation I can come up with is that I drank a lot of alcohol and smoked a lot of cigarettes for the past 6 years. I am wondering if these two things alone could have caused permanent damage. Does anyone...

I was wondering, if there is any possibility that alcohol can increase tinnitus permanently? I'm asking this because I drink alcohol a lot last few months because it knocks me down for sleeping. I'd rather drink 5 or 6 beers every night than taking sleeping pils. Thank you in advance folks!

Do any of you have experience of taking an andidepressant escitalopram (cipralex) with alcohol? I take escitalopram and I want to drink some champagne. What do you think?

...and thought a lot about reasons for my T. Recently I also got Visual snow addition to my lovely T. One contributing factor I am thinking is alcohol. I personally was on 35 UK units a week for last 5 years, way over the medical limit, thought it never messed with my life or social...

Alcohol should not be consumed frequently or in large amounts, especially if you take daily medication, as it can significantly increase the risk of ototoxic effects.

...in and white noise masker turned on) to being noticeable. This was about 6 hours ago and it's still spiked now. I've had a 3 spikes in the last month and if I think about it I've had a drink of alcohol beforehand. Nothing in excess though. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in...

...I have neck pain or shoulder pain, my distortions are really bad. Does anyone understand the correlation here? 2. I notice when I drink alcohol, the distortions fade/go away. Why is that? Is blood sugar a factor? 3. Does anyone feel fluid in their ears is a part of this? I feel fluid in...

I believe food can trigger tinnitus, but when it comes to alcohol, I’ve noticed that my tinnitus worsens depending on the type of wine. This makes me think that it might not be the alcohol itself causing the issue, but rather the preservatives used in the wine. “It is hypothesized that in...

The more I think about it, the more I think Propranolol might be the perfect habituation drug for tinnitus. Unlike alcohol or benzodiazepines it doesn't mask the sensation of the tinnitus but it does keep the body from physiologically responding in a fight or flight mode.

Alcohol makes my tinnitus much worse?? :-(( Why?? I'm 19 years old and I need to go out sometimes... I'm really thinking about killing myself... Then it's all over and I'll have silence forever.

I did a search and didn't quite find what I was looking for. A number of topics indicated that alcohol helped people tolerate tinnitus better. I guess it does by just helping with distraction. I have a few beers a few nights a week, just not every night. Here lately it seems like my tinnitus...

...it is even widely available. Back in the early days of my tinnitus onset, debates raged over whether patients should or should not drink alcohol or coffee. The argument was settled more or less; they agreed to disagree. Those who noticed their tinnitus increasing after drinking alcohol were...

...decided that CBT therapy wasn't suitable at the moment. Am I going mad and seeing correlation/causation that isn't there? My thoughts are: Alcohol distracts me enough to forget tinnitus? Alcohol has some other effect on my body that is actually reducing the severity? (I read that it's blood...

Some good news:) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5438380/

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a positive or negative effect on their T from drinking alcohol? Its the only dietary thing that I've noticed which affects mine. Adversely. Very adversely in fact :( It goes back to 'normal' when the drink has worn off but until then it ramps up.

...to cause permanent damage, they were loud enough to trigger a spike and worsen my hyperacusis. On top of that, I drank six pints after being alcohol-free for two and a half years, and alcohol isn’t exactly a helpful drug for these conditions. It seems the sound exposure aggravated my nerves...

...and I have high pitched ringing in both ears. Feels like everyday the noises are different. I’ve discovered online that antibiotics and / or alcohol can cause tinnitus. Needless to say, I feel so stupid for taking the antibiotics and then drinking. I’ve been to the ENT. He says my ears are...

Hi everyone, My name is Cesar. I got tinnitus after drinking a lot of alcohol at a party. At the party, I was able to walk and talk, but when I got home I realized there was a noise in my ears like static when a TV is on. It has decreased since then but I still hear it. During the day it is...

Alcohol always quiets down my tinnitus, and I'm sure it has something to do with GABA and the brain. But alcohol will make tinnitus worse in the long run because it is neurotoxic and ototoxic.

Hello, I'm relatively new here and to tinnitus but I'm thinking that this is now my new normal. Short intro. Lost a friend to suicide at the end of the January. Just happened to be in the best shape and place of my life as well. I didn't handle things well and started drinking pretty heavily...

...non-existent) to pretty loud. Then yesterday I didn't have any buzzing mostly for 3 days (longest since I got it 4 months ago) then I drank alcohol. The buzzing then came back about 15 hours later... Do any of you have this happen where caffeine in pop and alcohol make tinnitus worse...

Hi, I was wondering if alcohol and caffeine are especially dangerous to tinnitus sufferers. I drink 2 cups of coffee per day and have given up all other caffeine drinks. I have maybe 2-3 drinks per week. Am I playing with fire? Thank you very much...

...2 months but with school picking up I really find myself craving/needing it. I'd read somewhere that it has the potential to turn acute tinnitus into permanent tinnitus? Is this true? Does anyone have actual study/data on this or is all knowledge anecdotal? Also how bad is alcohol for...

Thanks for your responses. I’ve had a slight improvement since my last post. I decided to give alcohol a break. It has been two weeks now, and the tinnitus has quietened down to a hiss and a low tone that I can only hear in a quiet room. The electric or static sensation in my head has gone. My...

I need alcohol and i'm outta wine. Well 4-4-2024 is a good reason to crack a bottle of champagne.

...thread and shows how food, drink, supplements, medication, etc., have different effects on our tinnitus, as mine spikes when drinking alcohol. This happens almost instantly (within thirty minutes) and happens everytime. It would stand to reason that alcohol would reduce the volume, or...

...had a throat infection, which was followed by an ear infection with a lot of fluid in the inner ear. That’s when it all started. I feel like alcohol helps, but it also causes intense spike moments, which scares me. Other things that seem to help are ibuprofen and prednisone. The doctors just...
