    New University of Michigan Tinnitus Discovery — Signal Timing

    Hello! Do we have any idea of things that trigger a spike (alcohol, caffeine, cannabis, salt, etc) will still trigger a spike after Dr. Shore's treatment? I've looked and didn't see it addressed anywhere. Wondering if we'll still need to avoid those things in the future. I realize we won't...

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    ...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.

    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.

    Tinnitus from Shooting a 9mm Handgun with No Hearing Protection

    Yes, alcohol will cause tinnitus to spike. One drink, probably not, but a few will definitely do it. Smoking weed is even worse. Just about everything will spike tinnitus! Or so it seems. You have to take it one day at a time. The main thing is not to do things you know will make it worse...

    Ultra Loud Tinnitus Following a Night Out

    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...

    Naltrexone as a Tinnitus Treatment

    Alcohol has some catastrophic side effects, and none of it potential. Should you drink a lot instead to help you cope? I'm not sure, I haven't had a drink for ages.

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.

    Yes, this has always been the case so far, from almost nothing to heavy side effects. Most of the time it is a state comparable to alcohol psychologically, but without the effects of nausea and such. And it's very selective. For example, I have a lot of trouble organizing my thoughts, but not...

    Caffeine (Including Coffee and Soft Drinks) and Its Effect on Tinnitus

    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...

    Spike from Loud Music (Approx 90 dB) or Maybe from Alcohol? Or Maybe Just a Product of Worrying?

    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...

    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...

    Alcohol Spiking Tinnitus

    @Bryce - Alcohol helps my tinnitus today, but I gave it up for at least 2 months when t started.

Alcohol (in moderation) has a positive impact on my tinnitus...

    Which Is Safer? A Few Drinks a Day or Taking ADs, Benzos or Other Mind-Altering Chemicals?

I would strongly advise any tinnitus sufferer to seek competent medical help...

    Are Alcohol and Tobacco Reckless a Week After Blast Noise Exposure?

    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.

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    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.
