Hi everyone,
I am participating in an 800-calorie diet to reverse my type 2 diabetes. This diet involves total meal replacement, consisting of four shakes or soups a day for 12 weeks before transitioning to a higher calorie intake.
I've been on the diet for nearly three weeks, losing approximately 5% of my starting body weight (8 kg).
I've developed tinnitus over the last 14 days, which has become louder in the past couple of days.
I visited my health center, where they checked my ears and confirmed there was no earwax buildup. They referred me to an audiologist, whom I will see in a few weeks.
I am wondering if there could be a link between the diet and my tinnitus. Has anyone else experienced this?
To clarify, I have noticed some hearing loss over the past few months, which I've read could be related to tinnitus.
Thank you.
