    Plugging Nose and Blowing Temporarily Improved My Hearing: Can I Restore Eardrum Function and High-Frequency Hearing?

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    Update: Yes it worked for me also. About 2 oz of Whiskey on the rocks. I love listening to music, but it has been hard as of late. It lessened the tinnitus for about 1 hour, to the point I could basically ignore it completely. I listened to side 1 of Dreamboat Annie. It was fantastic.
