...onset. I don't think there's much you can do, other than waiting it out. What I have to say though is, don't beat yourself up by thinking the alcohol withdrawal was the reason for it. It may be idiopathic or maybe there's a (treatable) cause for it. For such a mysterious thing like tinnitus...

No. Not everyone gets goosebumps from music.

I'm pretty certain alcohol increases mine too, but since I flucuate it's impossible to know. New Year's Day I did have champagne and did not get loud; but I was loud the next day. In general, alcohol either reduces or increases your noise. But, since alcohol acts on GABA receptors, you would...

Yes, I also noted this in one of my posts. Alcohol is a definite "no" on this drug. I also cited the clinical trial information regarding alcohol and Retigabine. https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/retigabine-trobalt-potiga-%E2%80%94-general-discussion.5074/page-12#post-57664

I always find my T is much worse the day after drinking alcohol. It has always reduced back to my normal level though. I did find that I think my trigger for the spikes is alcohol rather than the noise: I've had no spike after a loud night out without alcohol (with plugs) but then a huge spike...

...to destroy someone else's life like that! Upsetting! No, I never took any medication, antidepressants, sleeping pills or such. I did quit alcohol and coffee for the first months, but I don’t think that it made any difference at all. The damage was already there. I just focused on healing by...

It does mess with the GABA but to what degree I don't know. Alcohol withdrawal will be causing all sorts of havoc in your brain atm so it's perfectly expected that your tinnitus is going to be harder to cope with, but stay strong!

alcohol + "super worried" -> spike I wouldn't worry ;)

Damn, alcohol is ototoxic. Fuck.

...with cerebral angiograms, but first the MR. The last couple of nights were fairly good, I could sleep without valerian. I do drink a fair amount of wine, though. Alcohol takes my mind off pulsatile tinnitus, normal tinnitus, coronavirus, economic crisis. Alcohol is a good friend of mine.

...be a good idea to wear some earplugs, since you might be more sensitive than you'd expect. Other than that? Well, just have fun I guess! Alcohol might give a temporary (in my experience) spike, I've gotten a really nasty one of alcohol, a few months after I got T. Like you described, but I...

Drinking alcohol while on benzos increases your risk of tolerance and given that benzos are already highly addictive I would highly suggest abstaining from drinking.

try alcohol free Passion flower drops.

Alcohol and caffeine do not spike my tinnitus.

I got my tinnitus about 2 weeks ago when I mixed music for long hours for 3 days and apparently I had it slightly too loud. Now. Give rest to your ears! No headphones in a month. No caffeine and alcohol. You will lose some sleep because of tinnitus. Alcohol and caffeine do not help.

only if you would do it (almost every) day for a long period of time aka abusing alcohol. alcohol is then known to be ototoxic but certainly not from drinking from time to time even if it's heavy drinking I would say.

Pretty sure alcohol quietens my T just a little. Happy new year, T Talk! May this year be full of hope for us.

Hey Julia, for some people it seems that alcohol can spike, others experience the opposite. for me sugar, salt and msg spike my t as rocket. havent try alcohol... but i will. some people have had relief drinking wine. maybe you should try it!

Both. Swallowing spikes the sound briefly every time & alcohol changes it unpredictably - usually making it worse. But the pain never goes away.

Hello. Stress? Sinus infection? Alcohol?

Alcohol is great in that it gives you the ability to not give a damn about your tinnitus (and it generally makes the world seem like less of a crappy place). The only problem is when you use it regularly to cope. Alcohol never had an effect on my tinnitus at all, even after heavy drinking. I...

...now and it hasn't reduced my tinnitus either time. Even now I'm on a fairly high dose and my tinnitus is still the same. I am going through a spike at the moment though so maybe that affects it too. I'm definitely very chilled out though. It's kind of like a cross between a benzo and alcohol.

...I'm getting. I can't find anything conclusive on whether or not capsules versus tea versus tinctures are better for absorption, so I'll be taking a guess here. This bottle also has glycerite instead of alcohol. I'm hoping to expect some sort of benefit from it. CBD oil is way too expensive...

I'm fighting staphylococcus. Yesterday I drank half a liter of kvass (this is a drink in Eastern Europe with a low alcohol content of 1.2%, not considered alcoholic). Then I thought about the possible risks of concurrent intake of alcohol and doxycycline. Tell me, did you drink a little...

Coffee and alcohol do not increase my t, I drink my fair share of coffee and alcohol pretty much every day. No change. Alcohol actually reduces the t for me.

In my experience with T alcohol will help for s few hours to sleep but then POW intense suffering. There are things that make my T off the charts,,,,alcohol.....stress/anxiety.....salt......caffeine/coffee......loud/busy/noisy places..just to name a few

Scratched my ear canal like an idiot.... uhm? I guess dab some alcohol on it?

I wonder why alcohol helps with H fullness/ache. is it affecting the trigeminal nerve, relaxing tmj, distracting the brain?

I now know why I like drinking alcohol, it keeps me going, I don't enjoy life at all, I sometimes wish I were dead, but I would never have to guts to kill myself, so the alcohol makes life a little more bearable. Cheers!

Yep, alcohol. Its addictive so be careful.

Curious, but this is almost identical to the so called "6C's diet" prescribed to people diagnosed with Migraine Associated Vertigo and Vestibular Migraine! Cross-over, much?!

At first I avoided many things but mainly coffee and alcohol because I was afraid of spikes. But after a while the fear for spikes faded and I started drinking both again.

It must be nice to settle into a steady state. My tinnitus doesn't react to food or drink, but it reacts to ambient household noises like fans, air conditioners, and refrigerators. They say Cymbalta is for neuropathic pain combined with depression. If it hadn't been for my ear pain, headaches...

In my experience, alcohol helps blunt tinnitus severity. Cheers!

...had already been a bit of a nuisance for my job and any focused work, but I managed to push through it. Now my brain feels fried. I cut out alcohol, salt, and caffeine. I do not smoke and do not take any medications. I have tried sound therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic treatment, and regular...

@Telis, take what you need to take going through your day. I don't know if my ADs do anything for me. But I don't like alcohol. If I could, I would take a benzo every day. Because a high dosage (like for example a valium infusion) eliminates my T for a while. If I would know alcohol (as Dan...

A few alcoholic drinks and my tinnitus is gone. But as soon as the affect of the alcohol wears of its back. You can see how people with T can easily become addicted to alcohol. I do like a drink now and then but in moderation.

I don't drink alcohol

Last night I was sitting next to one at a new years party who blew in a party horn or noisemaker. How loud are these? I couldn't feel how loud it was because of the alcohol but I have a spike today, it could be the alcohol as well.

When I had a little alcohol months after my T began, my T had switched ears(!)

erik in re reading the article y0u linked to, about mri s, and the limbic system and then thinking about Louise's thread on alcohol sets me to thinking about connections...could alcohol use, especially abuse, be a significant risk factor for tinnitus...my guess is yes because if alcohol...

Alcohol relieves tinnitus for abit. At least for me. You should never go cold turkey with a severe addiction to alcohol. It can be deadly. Instead you should have slowly tampered off.

...and boom, ringing was off the charts. The second shot increased it a little more and then the 3rd a little more. I don't think about alcohol all day but I agree with many of the rest, in the evenings it helps calm all my nerves and not a great way to manage this but I haven't found too...

...items not to eat and /or consume less of. You will have to test each one. For me, the hardest to give up and modify are caffeine, salt, and alcohol (we all like to have a glass of wine once in a while!) If you suspect that a particular food is contributing to your tinnitus, avoid eating any...

I used to have T only in one ear. After I drank some alcohol, T had temporarily switched ears...

...to make any difference are good quality sleep, not overdoing it physically or mentally and somewhat bizarrely, drinking a generous amount of alcohol with absolutely certainty completely eliminate it at the time of consumption and about 80% of the time for the whole of the next day...

For me, Alcohol makes tinnitus alot worse.

APS - thick blood - can lead to tinnitus which may be reduced by blood thinners. The condition is picked up by a simple blood test. I was thinking that this may be the reason some people’s tinnitus decreases with alcohol. Anyone else got APS? Did blood thinners help?

Any updates on your trial of Naltrexone/LDN?

DebinAudtralia--you said something I totally get. Alcohol can quickly mute tinnitus. Long story, but I totally understand the gaba receptors and especially what benzos do to them--and then when one tries to withdraw, death is pretty likely. I don't like to use alcohol for a tinnitus, but...

How come is it that some get tinnitus relief from alcohol, others don't, and some get worse? It confuses me!

Alcohol may cause a spike but it last only until the body gets rid of it. Wouldn't take so long if it was alcohol only. People who have t and expose themselves to such noise play with fire and have to expect permanent damage. As simple as that.

With ear plugs I presume?

nah, compared to some really specific receptor-target drug, alcohol has systemic effects. Basically there is no part of the body or nervous system which is not impacted in some way by alcohol, which makes it difficult to study. edit: I do what I can, though. I research the effect of alcohol on...

What was your alcohol, nicotine, salt and sugar intake before, and what is it now?

I don’t think alcohol is ototoxic like certain antibiotics, but can cause temporary spikes in tinnitus due to blood pressure changes like caffeine.

@coffee_girl lol. I figure I'll treat it like alcohol, for me. Go on a date? Breakfast with friends? I'll have a cup or glass. But no more drinking coffee / alcohol everyday. If it was just my T that was affected, I'd probably continue drinking. But the difference between my anxiety levels on...

Did you drink at the game? Perhaps the spike is from Alcohol rather than the noise?
