...-- especially excessive daily drinking -- disrupts the brain's neurotransmitters, the brain chemicals that transmit messages. For example, alcohol initially enhances the effect of GABA, the neurotransmitter which produces feelings of relaxation and calm. But chronic alcohol consumption...

I heard that alcohol and benzos have "something" in common although a benzo would not completely stop my T like alcohol does.

Just have to jump in here cause the stats are against you on this. Alcohol is a very destructive poison killing more people than weed would ever do. The damages from alcohol are irreversible, more so than with heroin even. Ask any medical doctor. I know people thats been smoking weed and joints...

Been investigating more about the effect of alcohol on neurotranmission because a therpaist told me that 'alcohol is the antidote to glutamate'. Seems she's right as its a Glutamate antagonist. I'm looking into it as alcohol seems to make my T worse so this could mean that my particular...

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

Here is a corresponding thread with a poll: Poll: What Effect Does Alcohol Have on Your Tinnitus?

I had to go on the dry no alcohol @Shera after heart surgery but as I've said, I drank my share and yours also. Alcohol never bothered the tinnitus, but chocolate sure fires it up.

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

...guidelines. These are just overall guidelines and have nothing to do with a permanent increase of T. I really wouldn't look away from alcohol if you like it. We already tend to abstain from a lot of things thanks to T, especially the first months. So don't add anything that has no impact.

Tinnitus since Oct. 2014. Thought it may be alcohol related. Quit alcohol for 8 months-didn't help. Measured in 4000mz range in right ear.

...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.

Maybe it has something to do with the amount of alcohol. Had four beers (0,2 litres), not that much. Since I got T I'm not drinking much alcohol and pay more attention to the amount of alcohol I'm drinking. It individually depends how a body deals with alcohol and its degradation. Maybe you have...

Interesting you should mention alcohol, especially that it could ruin the ears. Here's something I posted a while ago whilst wanting to find a connection between the two, makes for sobering reading! https://www.tinnitustalk.com/threads/alcohol.933/#post-7203 If you get silence from drinking...

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.

Alcohol makes everything worse in the long run. But a glass of wine is reasonable ;-)

Alcohol can relax you and make you feel happy but if have depression then alcohol will not help and bring you down again ... Lots of love glynis

Alcohol.

Whatever gluten free beer is around. For those curious, here is a list of gluten free alcohol drinks: http://munchyy.com/gluten-free-alcohol-list/

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

they're called benzodiazepines and they're even more dangerous than alcohol. @Mario martz alcohol doesn't affect my t but hangovers sure do, and not in a good way.

absolutely everyone gets goosebumps from music. this is clickbait. do you wake up thirsty after drinking alcohol? research shows your brain is special in the way it processes alcohol!

Never had an issue with flying or driving but my tinnitus is not alcohol induced.

Please don't use alcohol drops in your ears! Instead try the apple vinegar first then see if it helps, I agree with the above... Alcohol is extremely harsh on such a sensitive organ!

@buttercake, can you drink alcohol even though you take Kestine?

hi mick, my ear specialist actually said to cut out the alcohol as well as caffeine because it can worsen the tinnitus,you should find something other than alcohol to help you fall asleep,i take an anti-depressant without alcohol,keep busy , but even when you do relax try to concentrate on other...

Alcohol occasionally reduces all my sounds to a hiss. Not sure if this is because I'm relaxed and my mind is somewhere else or if it's the impacted circulation. A few times I had spikes completely disappear after alcohol. Only once did I have a 'reaction' after a drink - my right ear had...

Alpacas getting tinnitus, pretending to like people and buying alcohol now. We truly are in the end times.

Got my RTG 50mg today.(y) Does anyone drink alcohol while on this drug? By alcohol I mean one beer or or one scotch everyday:). Thank you Rog

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

...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.

I PROVE IT MANY WEEKS AGO MIXED WITH ALCOHOL... AND MY T WAS VERY QUIET UNTIL THE NEXT DAY... Normally the alcohol makes it louder to me...Sorry about my english

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

Does alcohol have the same affect as benzos on the gaba receptors? I am withdrawing from alcohol and my tinnitus is bothering me alot more, seems harder to cope.

"Drinking alcohol increases blood flow to the inner ear, which can cause tinnitus – a ringing, buzzing or swooshing sound in the ears. This condition can resolve itself in a few hours, but can still be quite annoying while it is present. Excessive drinking on a regular basis can lead to...

Have you considered stopping drinking alcohol?

This.. Alcohol is shit.

...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...

Hi, Ever since the onset of my pulsatile tinnitus, I quit all coffee (caffeine) and any alcohol, per doctor's orders. I suppose that's good for me. In the future, I’d like to have a glass of wine with the wife. Do any of you tinnitus sufferers drink alcohol in small moderation? Will...

Alcohol almost without exception raises my tinnitus, but it's sometimes worth it to relax and make me care a little less.

I'm not sure about tinnitus, but mixing MDMA with alcohol can give bad reactions. It's not a guarantee and there's definitely people that do enjoy this, but you are at an increased risk to have nausea, anxiety as well as even more reduced inhibition leading to stupid decisions (taking more...

Celebrating 15 years with wifey... loud music and alcohol. Tomorrow could be interesting... gotta live tho. Y'all be careful out there. YOLO

@Bryce - Alcohol helps my tinnitus today, but I gave it up for at least 2 months when t started. I didn't trust myself with alcohol and was solely focused on figuring out the cause for my t when it started. We are all different though. Alcohol (in moderation) has a positive impact on my tinnitus...

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...

I cannot stand alcohol cause in my whole life I think I had 3 beers in total :rolleyes: The moment I take a sip of alcohol I fall a sleep :D

I definitely agree it would need to be done along with education and public health measures. I read this statistic about alcohol consumption during prohibition: "We find that alcohol consumption fell sharply at the beginning of Prohibition, to approximately 30 percent of its pre-Prohibition...

Who says this? Alcohol or caffeine is not Ototoxic in that it causes physical damage to your ears. It may however irritate your tinnitus however!

You may want to rinse the plug after you do the above, as isopropyl alcohol might be ototoxic...

After the only time this year when I had a little alcohol, my T switched ears for the rest of the day.

Benzodiazenes and antidepressants are not 'mind altering' drugs and to think that alcohol is a preferable 'treatment' is foolish and potentially much worse for your longer-term health than any psychiatric medication. I would strongly advise any tinnitus sufferer to seek competent medical help...

...relief by drinking beer, and I will keep doing in so, in moderation, and reviewing my reactions. There is some common advice to abstain from alcohol as it will increase one's T. But I think the effect may vary from person to person. I found a survey at TT on this topic (below) and...

It was tincture, you can get it in Glycerin if you don't want the alcohol.

does alcohol help against T? ;D that would be a nice cure :D i have heard it made it worse :/

mixing benzodiazepines with alcohol is a bad idea. alcohol is a dose-dependent carcinogen and neurotoxin at any dose. it's a much nastier drug than benzos in terms of physical damage from simple use, and they do not play well together at all.

Hi, how loud was your tinnitus prior to quit alcohol?
