Smoking — Does It Affect Your Tinnitus or Hyperacusis?

[Street Spirit]

For all the smokers, does it affect your tinnitus or hyperacusis?

Smoking does not seem to have any effect on my tinnitus whatsoever.

I started smoking when I got tinnitus, I am not sure if it has any effect as I haven't quit. Smoking less or more doesn't seems to make a difference.

I'm out in the country again, so, smoking handrolled again.

This is interesting:

The effects of nicotine on GABA is profound. In a study conducted by the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, they found that GABA rose by 10% in the brain after smoking an inhaler and then, 45 minutes later, continued producing GABA at a four-fold rate compared to a normal brain.

I know this is an old thread, but it's what I found when I looked it up.

My hyperacusis and tinnitus have gotten worse since I quit vaping, 100% VG 3 mg. It's been exactly 4 weeks today. What's really worse is my reactive tinnitus, or hyperacuses to certain pitches. I don't know if vaping or nicotine was helping those. I'm going to say this is a transient thing and hold out for a while to see if things get normalized.

I just wanted to share my experience.
