I usually don’t drink alcohol, but when I do have one, it definitely spikes my tinnitus for a few minutes.

All medication that works on the brain can be affected by alcohol as alcohol affects the brain also. Alcohol can be enjoyable at the time but gets in the way of medication that works on the brain. Odd drink in moderation. Love, Glynis

Just curious, so I thought I'd do a poll.

The problem with drinking alcohol regularly, is it depletes the brain's ability to synthesize GABA and may potentially increase your tinnitus over time.

I have the same problem. Tinnitus from alcohol withdrawal. I, unfortunately, haven’t stopped drinking. I wake up with ringing in my ears, until I have a few drinks. I did quit drinking for two weeks six months ago. The tinnitus went away. Then, I had three beers, and the tinnitus came back the...

Alcohol has some catastrophic side effects, and none of it potential. Should you drink a lot instead to help you cope? I'm not sure, I haven't had a drink for ages.

...and can't recommend them. Model number to avoid is HD 450BT. Bose makes awful speakers but good headphones. Perhaps you have one of the few remaining audio/video stores in your locale which would allow you to try on a pair. (Bring alcohol wipes.) I doubt any 'phones will mute your cat...

Alcohol, especially wine, makes me relaxed enough to tune my tinnitus out, or at least not care about it so much. Anything that helps really.

I'm up all nite as some may notice. It's like some nites I'm jazzed up on something but it sure ain't drugs or alcohol.

I have loud tinnitus. I am looking for any drug that will put you in a state where you just do not give a shit about the tinnitus. So my uncle drinks each night until he passes out which seems to get his mind off of the tinnitus. All I can think of is Ketamine or Kava.

Alcohol...

...I tried once, never again. Not worth it. Never understood the need or desire, and completely do not understand it after trying. Life was great for me as-is. Never had to resort to substances, even alcohol was meh. Beer or a drink here and there, sure, why not, but any more than that - no, thanks.

...nap and wake up with low T or high T. Source: http://lifehacker.com/how-long-to-nap-for-the-biggest-brain-benefits-1251546669 Section 2: Alcohol Here is a chart for what happens during "normal sleep" Keep in mind SWS (Slow Wave Sleep is 3 stages of sleep (some sources say 4) which is...

...before possibly undergoing this treatment. Once I have my audiogram, I'll likely make an appointment for more information. On the positive side, nothing besides acoustic shock has ever worsened my tinnitus (alcohol, coffee, salt, drugs, etc). Perhaps that would be a good sign going into this.

I had to Google it, but it seems that alcohol consumption is advised against when taking Ebastine.

...and stress at work, and I isolate myself at home as much as possible. I eat as healthily as possible in small portions, particularly avoiding alcohol and sugary foods/desserts. I drink plenty of water with natural lemon drops and ginger slices (natural antioxidants) between meals. I hope...

I'm a guy who likes to drink on the weekend but I've read some things where it can spike tinnitus. I've drank a few times so far on it and I don't think it really effected my tinnitus. Do any of you still drink and not feel any effect with the t?

Any chances you try to make some poteen...?

Alcohol.

The blow to your ear is a prime suspect for me, much higher in the list than amoxicillin or alcohol. It was severe enough to rupture your ear drum. That trauma can have all kinds of bad consequences for hearing, including tinnitus. Good luck.

...transfer of power and accepting election defeat is important. I find Trump's character and actions unsuitable for the job. I don't drink alcohol, but if Trump wins, I will make a point of dropping by Minnesota to buy you a coffee and if Biden wins, I take my coffee black, no sugar. Take...

Alcohol used to calm down my tinnitus and hyperacusis but last year things changed and now it is completely opposite - tinnitus is louder and I have more noise sensitivity after alcohol. I don't know why that happened, maybe my body didn't like me drinking so often to calm down tinnitus to have...

Thank god for alcohol!

Smoking cigarettes doesn't change my tinnitus at all. Alcohol actually completely silences my tinnitus when I get drunk. However, the next day it's usually worse with the hangover but goes back to normal after like 24 hours. So I say to enjoy yourself.

Question: If alcohol lowered my tinnitus, could Campral lower my tinnitus? Anyone here have experience in this?

Welcome to the forum, Danny. There are conflicting reports on alcohol usage while suffering tinnitus. Some members claim that alcohol makes their T worse (shouldn't damage the hearing or ears). So we generally advise members to not use alcohol excessively. Others say they feel calmer and their T...

...The problem is that some drugs make the response worse. Cannabis, for example, is supposed to relax people, yet it makes some feel paranoid. Alcohol turns off hyperacusis for some but makes tinnitus worse for others. There is no single answer, but we are making progress thanks to doctors who...

Do you know which Bose headphones you have? It’s just they range between £190 - £400?

It does not say that alcohol is a definitive no, but only that taking retigabine together with alcohol is not recommended due to visual problems that may and may not happen as a result. However I do not see a particular problem with general alcohol intake and a drug designed to be taken for a...

When I drink alcohol, depending on how much I drink, the distortions become less noticeable. Like if I get tipsy for example, then music sounds better and the reactive tinnitus becomes less noticeable.

Alcohol AND/OR benzos. FTFY :)

I'm wondering, if you drink alcohol, how does that affect it? Does it get more quiet? I'm curious about the physiology of that. Perhaps since it is a CNS depressant it suppresses the problem some. I have tinnitus but its not nearly as bad as yours, but I never noticed alcohol helping it any...

Alcohol most definitely helps

Like for so many in this thread alcohol seems to work for me as well. I have made several tests and the usual pattern is like this. 1-2 makes tinnitus worse. 3-4 my left side prominent tinnitus moves completely to right side. This is actually the weirdest part. So alcohol suppress left side...

I'm all for people's experiences, good or bad, but ranting and screaming things like 'poison' or 'the devil' offers nothing. These same people will then be happy for XEN1011 or any other medication to treat their tinnitus. Some of these people down alcohol and eat processed foods.

Alcohol helps me relax and forget about tinnitus when I have a couple craft beers.

Alcohol is very therapeutic for severe intrusive tinnitus at times.

I presume international patients would be excluded from compassionate use?

I'm back on the benzos and alcohol after I swore off them. I just want not to care, just for a little while. Just like I used to, I want to get lost in my mind again, but the door is locked, and I can't get in there anymore. That was my safe place, and it's gone because everything in my life is...

Not the same Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol Both aren't ototoxic though

I said I was drinking too much alcohol and wanted to stop. It worked.

Alcohol is a double edged sword…it sure helps ease the moment…but you pay the price dearly for it the next day!

...have some high-frequency hearing loss in my left ear, but it's above 8000 Hz, so my audiologist didn't measure it. My tinnitus doesn't respond to Clonazepam, but given your posts, maybe I'll try alcohol instead. This was an old post of yours -- I hope your tinnitus has improved over the years.

From the BTA Alcohol It is often recommended that people with tinnitus should abstain from alcohol, with red wine frequently coming in for special criticism. Once again, there seems little hard evidence to justify these statements. The majority of the evidence that is available suggests that...

Alcohol always spiked my tinnitus so I quit drinking more than a year ago.

@Nick47, I am only loosely referring to nicotine and alcohol. I noticed that vaping and smoking cigarettes seemed to agitate my hyperacusis. This was a major reason I stopped vaping or smoking. Additionally, alcohol gives the illusion of a numbing effect only to potentially give you a setback if...

Having alcohol tonight for the first time in a while, I've noticed a reduction in my tinnitus but it went back to baseline after sobering up. Smoking doesn't seem to have an effect on me. Now on the other hand, worrying about my sister seeing me doing the smoking spiked it...

You're probably right. I rarely drink more then a beer or glass of wine at any given time and my t sometimes reacts to even just that minimal amount of alcohol. Bummer .

...for hyperthyroidism. This is frequently associated with higher systolic blood pressure or systolic hypertension. It is well reported, that caffeine-coffee and alcohol impacts the absorption of T4 - thyroid. See a Conventional Radiologist where he might order a CTA, MRA and ultrasound of neck.

After drinking alot of alcohol on new years eve i woke up with buzzing and beeping noise which change from my normal ringing tone

I want to ask anyone who has there T change from a normal tone to buzzing and beeping after drinking alcohol for one night

Thank you for your kind comments @Gilo. It is your choice but if you like a drink, then I wouldn't stop drinking alcohol as long as it's consumed in moderation. I explain more about this in my post: Food, Drink and Tinnitus, in the link below. If you live in the UK my advice is not to seek...

When I use marijuana, caffeine or alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse. I have good days too, with "non-annoying" tinnitus, up to 20 days a month. When I use the aforementioned, it must speed up my neurons which is why tinnitus happens, I guess. I'm wondering if Dr. Shore's device will help slow...

Alcohol just relaxes a bit and makes me ignore my tinnitus. Never noticed any increase in volume from alcohol, coffee or other stuff, but your case may vary.

Alcohol takes your t away like 100% away?
