    The Bionics Institute Claim They Have Found a Way of Objectively Measuring Tinnitus

The argument was settled more or less; they agreed to disagree. Those who noticed their tinnitus increasing after drinking alcohol were...

    Pre-Existing Hearing Loss/Tinnitus: Are the Ears More Delicate and Susceptible to Further Damage?

    ...to cause permanent damage, they were loud enough to trigger a spike and worsen my hyperacusis. On top of that, I drank six pints after being alcohol-free for two and a half years, and alcohol isn’t exactly a helpful drug for these conditions. It seems the sound exposure aggravated my nerves...

    Even now, I occasionally rely on them, but consciously in very low doses. However, all of this should be discussed with a trusted doctor. I've always had a deep respect for substances that can alter you—I don't drink alcohol, and I've never tried drugs in my life.

    Tinnitus for 1.5 Months After Music Festival — The Most Horrible Ailment I've Ever Suffered

    Tinnitus for 1.5 Months After Music Festival — The Most Horrible Ailment I've Ever Suffered
