...Christmas time that I was doing a lot better/habituating to my recently increased tinnitus, then new years came round and I decided to quit alcohol because I was drinking a lot (8 to 10 pints of beer a day), straight away all the distress come back again, the depression, anxiety, insomnia...

I don't think eating healthy can really heal it but I do notice that alcohol can make it louder. Apparently the alcohol can inhibit parts of the brain that would normally filter the noise down. I read this somewhere awhile back... I still drink but not excessively. I personally no longer really...

Actually I have a couple of questions and a couple more: 1. Does it lower it right after you drink alcohol? 2. How long will it lower your tinnitus for and does it lower it longer if you drink more at the same sitting? 3. If you take it in the morning will it lower your tinnitus for the...

...helps a lot. Then it slowly started to disappear. Funny enugh, during the worst period I had few bright days just after parties with lot of alcohol (wedding). Also when I was doing a very heavy physical exercise (mountain trek for instance), it disappeared as well. Now it starts only...

...can see my muscle mass slowly decreasing. I work from home as much as possible and avoid going into the office when I can. I no longer drink alcohol or coffee, and I rarely speak to or see my friends anymore. Gaming is about the only hobby that gets me through the days. How about you? Has...

...and then settles down. Now l feel like l can't drink anymore and l love my few glasses of wine over the weekends. Does anyone else find alcohol makes their Hyperacusis worse? How much do you drink and what do you drink? It makes me feel so sad to think l can't enjoy drinking without being...

I woke up with tinnitus one day. The only thing I remember of what happened before is I had alcohol the night before, which is not something new for me. It's been 2 months and the tinnitus is still there. It has come with so much stress and anxiety as I search the internet about it. I don't...

I like drinking wine in the evening; it helps me. I think it is not the alcohol that causes a spike but rather some substances in the specific wine. I can have a spike with some wines.

@Daphne91 So you must sleep good at night and do you have problems with food, caffeine, alcohol or sweets affecting your T?

Okay so I wanted to see what alcohol's effect on the brain is because some people can lower or get rid of their T by drinking alcohol. According to Wikipedia, Ethanol does the following in the brain...

I appreciate your response, Michael. You have a lot of good information. I am still curious though to see if eliminating alcohol does anything. I only drink socially so it does not bother me to eliminate it again. Since alcohol is a neurotoxin and they seem to think chronic tinnitus lies more...

The population of Norway is 1.637% of the United States. It does not belong to the EU, for those who may not know this.

Stupid Norwegians with their 7th place in the world happiness index and their free universal healthcare. Not to mention their stupid laws that don't allow you to pilot a boat with over 0.08% alcohol in your blood. I don't know how the world puts up with them!

I am on quetiapine for sleep. I am a recovering alcoholic with diabetic/alcoholic neuropathy (deep nerve death in feet) and recently severe tinnitus. In recent detox, I found that my tinnitus disappeared, I assume due to the calming effect of chlordiazepoxide (librium) in the detox. I wake...

Did your spike go away? I hope it did. When it was at its worst, did you do anything specific to help improve it? For example, did you follow a restrictive diet or avoid caffeine and alcohol?

...to anyone else that understands what having tinnitus feels like. The ups and downs, the spikes, temporary deafness. Recently I've discovered that I actually have a lot of power over my tinnitus. I never knew reducing my alcohol, nicotine, salt and sugar intake would make such a massive...

Alcohol seems to aggravate my tinnitus, but only the next day. It does place a demand on the liver to process. Within Chinese medicine, this would aggravate the liver meridian, and thereby increase tinnitus. I would think this could be explained in Western terms as well. I believe there are...

Do you drink alcohol and/or caffeinated beverages and do these affect your mood about tinnitus. In the poll, choose 1 on the first four answers and 1 one of the last four answers.

It isn't the actual alcohol that spikes T , what spikes the T is the higher blood pressure that is caused by drinking . People who frequently drink will have higher blood pressure than people who seldomly drink or don't drink at all

@LostinTX ,@Hottopic29,@KaleeTX, @Rockman,@Wrfortiscue,@Steph1710, @Orians Pain, @aura, does food, alcohol, salt, sugar, caffeine or any foods affect your tinnitus? Everything affects mine.

Ok about 4 days ago I stopped drinking alcohol then a day later i noticed a buzzing/ringing sound coming from my ears or head. A day later I still had it so then i started drinking again but now today i still have this constant buzzing sound. I have not recently been exposed to any loud sounds...

Let's say you drank alcohol (safe amount of course) and then go immediately to bed. Do you wake up with lower tinnitus in the morning? Or is it louder or no change?

I am very happy that you've finally reached peace. Did you change your diet at all? Alcohol? Medications?

The only thing I consume that I can 100% say definitely affects my tinnitus is alcohol. It always spikes my tinnitus. Luckily I've never been a big drinker.

Provided you drink alcohol in moderation, in most cases it will not affect noise-induced tinnitus which is what you have. In fact, it often has a beneficial effect on the tinnitus when used for medicinal purposes, as it helps to relax the mind and eases stress. Please go to my started threads...

...started). I had to endure the March lockdown mostly in bed with my broken leg and wearing a heavy cast. Because of all of the above my alcohol consumption went down to zero after years of being a 'social drinker'. Some people here have noticed that their tinnitus started after stopping...

Robin Williams abused cocaine and alcohol for a very long time, and probably other substances, which certainly didn't help his mental or physical health.

2/2 Could my recent alcohol induced spike therefore be compared to a "benzo withdrawal" spike?

Stock price movement seems to be about acquisition of a drink to lower blood alcohol content...

I would like to chime in here. I can say that alcohol definitely reduces my tinnitus temporarily. Whether that's an effect of the alcohol itself or a result of endorphine release after the initial alcohol "hit" that I find relaxing, I've no idea. But I've sank enough bottles at Beer o' Clock to...

...party where I drank a lot, volume seems to have subsided but the pitch and sound has changed to something I can't mask. Could this be an alcohol thing?? Has anyone had something similar?? If anyone has had something similar happen, or might have some answers as to what the HELL is...

1/2 I'm reading on Benzo Buddies that zopiclone works in a similar manner to benzos and, incidentally, alcohol does as well.

Usually, if I drink alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse.

...in 2011. It came on suddenly and traumatised me. I don't know the cause but I suspect it was partly related to the cessation of long term alcohol use and stress. The first year or so was the hell that people describe. I had very bad anxiety and sought counselling over Skype. It changed my...

So I already posted about this on my profile a few days ago, but I'm trying to get this more visible. I'll also try my best to make sense as I have been having trouble stringing two thoughts together lately, which is what may have led to this whole mess. I've been struggling mentally for many...

So, I'm going through a tinnitus spike caused by a firecracker 6 days ago. Do I need to avoid anything anti-inflammatory for like a month because it could help making the spike NOT permanent? Would it be reckless to have 2 or 3 glasses of wine and a couple of cigarettes this weekend? Would I...

I reduced the Mirtazapine back down to 15 mg, but it's not working now. The tinnitus blares and fills my whole head (I need 60+ dB level sound to even match it now when sound therapy in the 40s dB was enough before), and sleep just doesn't come unless I drink alcohol or take Clonazepam.

First boys night out in a year. Lots of alcohol. 3 bars, a club then to hotel. It was fun, could say a lot of buts, but, I did enjoy overall

...has changed much. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about whether people with tinnitus are genetically more susceptible to hearing damage from birth. There seem to be plenty of people who treat their ears terribly and never develop tinnitus. Anyway, today I am drowning my frustration in...

Small update: Going to try eliminating alcohol after new year's as it is a neurotoxin. I'm not a heavy drinker but I do drink about 3-4 drinks a week, and am wondering if this had a cumulative contributing effect. I have drank like this since I was 21. Alcohol is inflammatory and can disrupt...

What cracks me up about Trump is he couldn't sell gambling, football, steak or alcohol to Americans FFS. And his knowledge of magnetism is amazing: "All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets." What a loser.

Guys and girls, I need your advice please: I haven't slept for days due to alcohol induced spike. Is it safe for me to take a zopiclone?

After a long time of T being quite ok, a rather noticeable spike atm, worried it’s alcohol induced. Hope it’ll go down soon :c

"oh i am sorry you have tinnitus, one person I know started drinking so much alcohol to cope with tinnitus and lost his health because ofit"
