Nicotine Patches — Could It Worsen Tinnitus Due to Constricting Blood Vessels?

[Nathan]

Lately, I've been using nicotine patches to help with my ADHD. I've read that nicotine can worsen tinnitus and hearing due to constricted blood vessels, but I haven't noticed any worsening symptoms since I began using them. I'm only using a quarter to half a patch, which is 7 to 14 mg a day. In the evening, I'll drink coconut water for the potassium, which helps increase blood flow.

Any tips would be appreciated as always.

It palpably robbed my ear of blood flow which was bad for my hyperacusis, and possibly tinnitus. I've been exercising intensely since I've been medically cleared, and using a Juul when needed. No effect on the tinnitus and good for stress, just don't hit it constantly. Just for cravings.

So I have really bad tinnitus/reactive tinnitus and a very extreme case of hyperacusis.

After wearing nicotine patches for three days I've got a massive setback both in tinnitus and hyperacusis .

Be careful with it guys, because right now I want to die.
