First boys night out in a year. Lots of alcohol. 3 bars, a club then to hotel. It was fun, could say a lot of buts, but, I did enjoy overall

I am very happy that you've finally reached peace. Did you change your diet at all? Alcohol? Medications?

Guys and girls, I need your advice please: I haven't slept for days due to alcohol induced spike. Is it safe for me to take a zopiclone?

After a long time of T being quite ok, a rather noticeable spike atm, worried it’s alcohol induced. Hope it’ll go down soon :c

I am not talking about the hangover after a loud night. But when I drink, I have much louder tinnitus that night, even if I dont pay attention to it. I also do not go to loud places. Should not drinking basically lower the tinnitus as you wouldn't pay so much attention to it? For me it is just...

"oh i am sorry you have tinnitus, one person I know started drinking so much alcohol to cope with tinnitus and lost his health because ofit"

Hi @Orba -- I don't know if you're aware, but there's a connection between supplementing GABA (a calming brain neurotransmitter) and alcohol. Alcohol consumption increases GABA levels, which leads to slower reaction times, and a host of other brain and neurological functions. So if alcohol...

I seldom drink any alcohol, but I would say that alcohol tends to spike tinnitus. However, alcohol sometimes damped my hyperacusis, made it less noticeable. So it is a bit random really...

Alcohol and coffee affect tinnitus. So you are doing well in stopping alcohol and coffee consumption.

...the motion of my fingers reflected in the ringing. I’ve noticed that when I’m drunk, I don’t think about the tinnitus as much. So, maybe alcohol has some effect, but it’s hard to say for sure because a) I’m drunk at the time and b) other factors, like stress and pain, also influence the...

Small update: Going to try eliminating alcohol after new year's as it is a neurotoxin. I'm not a heavy drinker but I do drink about 3-4 drinks a week, and am wondering if this had a cumulative contributing effect. I have drank like this since I was 21. Alcohol is inflammatory and can disrupt...

What cracks me up about Trump is he couldn't sell gambling, football, steak or alcohol to Americans FFS. And his knowledge of magnetism is amazing: "All I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that’s the end of the magnets." What a loser.

"Alcohol is believed to mimic GABA's effect in the brain, binding to GABA receptors and inhibiting neuronal signaling. Alcohol also inhibits the major excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate, particularly at the N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptor."

Hello Everyone, I have been reading a few of the threads regarding all of the things in the thread title lately and thought I would post my recent experience putting them all together. I usually smoke cannabis every day and usually find it easy to obtain, however, I've been travelling for...

I am wondering if alcohol without loud noise can cause tinnitus? Sounds ridiculous but wondering if anyone has heard of a case like that...

I reduced the Mirtazapine back down to 15 mg, but it's not working now. The tinnitus blares and fills my whole head (I need 60+ dB level sound to even match it now when sound therapy in the 40s dB was enough before), and sleep just doesn't come unless I drink alcohol or take Clonazepam.

Red wine, sour beers, Erdinger weissbier... water... basically whatever whenever but I try to limit alcohol to keep testosterone production up!

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, and in smallish quantities a relaxant. So that in itself would help w/ tinnitus. But one has to distinguish between drinking a small amount of alcohol and getting sloshed. We build up tolerance to it and any drug pretty quickly. Alcohol in...

I see you were a drug and alcohol counselor and ran some SLEs (sober living environments) back in your day! My husband and I both are "in recovery." God bless your work!

...much and especially the aspect of the long-term is very interesting and something I didn't take into account yet. The relationship between alcohol and GABA, and GABA and tinnitus is very interesting and due to your reaction I have read more about it. Thank you once again. In case people...

Would you consider re-trying it?

Hey guys. I wrote back in November about tapering off Benzos. I went from 15 mg of Valium down to 7.5 mg of Valium. Doing so, I had a bit of loud tinnitus but nothing crazy. However, around the start of March I had several family members die and a vengeful ex causing chaos in my life and so I...

Is there any research that shows a direct link between alcohol and an increase in tinnitus severity?

Just curious, so I thought I'd do a poll.

Usually, if I drink alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse.

@eric_michaels, where on earth does it say Diazepam causes damage to hearing? Absolute nonsense. Alcohol might be ototoxic but only very few medications are. Paranoia.

Now I wish had some cocaine... Oh well, I guess I'll just let tinnitus keep me up ;)

...distorted, "full" feeling, etc.) - Recent activities (loud noise, jaw/neck strain, exercise, travel, etc.) - Diet & drinks (caffeine, alcohol, salty food, etc.) - Sleep quality - Stress/mood level (1–10) - Any remedies or techniques used (e.g. background noise, stretching, medication...

I'm no expert in alcohol withdrawal or Valium, But if it were me, there is no way I would ever take anything that is a known ototoxic. No way.

...of 90 minutes, which totals 4.5 hours. The extra 30 minutes ends up being dozing or restlessness while trying to get to sleep. They say that alcohol reduces REM sleep. Even still, I might take a pint of Guinness now and then. Warm milk helps. I take muesli with milk and some probiotic...

Rubbing alcohol is pretty damaging to tissue. I’ve heard other people use garlic oil but I don’t have personal experience. I’ve used tea tree oil but there’s a study saying it may be ototoxic.

Drank too much alcohol when on big phenibut dose last night. Extreme hangover. Can be dangerous combo too.

I have loud tinnitus. I am looking for any drug that will put you in a state where you just do not give a shit about the tinnitus. So my uncle drinks each night until he passes out which seems to get his mind off of the tinnitus. All I can think of is Ketamine or Kava.

The chief medical officer of the UK stated that any level of alcohol consumption carries an increased risk of a range of cancers. Personally I try my best to avoid alcohol - the fact you start to feel woozy in the head after a drink tells me all I need to know about its impact. However - I may...

So far alcohol hasn’t changed a thing. Still have tinnitus. And it’s been worse the last few months. At least alcohol makes me care less about it in the evenings.

All medication that works on the brain can be affected by alcohol as alcohol affects the brain also. Alcohol can be enjoyable at the time but gets in the way of medication that works on the brain. Odd drink in moderation. Love, Glynis

...has changed much. Lately, I have been thinking a lot about whether people with tinnitus are genetically more susceptible to hearing damage from birth. There seem to be plenty of people who treat their ears terribly and never develop tinnitus. Anyway, today I am drowning my frustration in...

...give some more information about whether or not the tinnitus is different throughout the day and/or after sports? And does a little bit of alcohol have influence on the tinnitus? Mine does get better from alcohol and there is some research saying that people find relief from a few drinks...

Doesn't Naltrexone mitigate the withdrawal symptoms? Some people even had improvement of their tinnitus while on Low Dose Naltrexone, so maybe you should give it a thought.

I'm a guy who likes to drink on the weekend but I've read some things where it can spike tinnitus. I've drank a few times so far on it and I don't think it really effected my tinnitus. Do any of you still drink and not feel any effect with the t?

...is it indeed spiking throughout the day and strangely enough, red wine makes it go far away... only for a few hours. I am guessing alcohol affects everyone differently... I only drink about 12-16 ounces of low alcohol red wine a day. What do you guys think about alcohol and why it would...

Same here, I am so pleased to happen come across this thread. I also have been avoiding alcohol fearing it would make my tinnitus worse, but I think I will have to break out the whiskey. :) Keeping my fingers crossed...

...endorphins. This has been shown in many studies and literature. I don't think this is in dispute. I remember being asked at Brai3n whether alcohol reduces the volume of my tinnitus. They said they have a number of patients where the release of endorphins through alcohol have a positive...
