    Alcohol and Its Effect on Tinnitus

    I had pretty bad worsening three months ago when going through benzo (Xanax) withdrawal. I took 1mg of it every night for 1 month. And I unfortunately drunk some alcohol that time too. I am not sure if it is connected, but it might be. Now I am just scared to drink as much alcohol as I did before.

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

    ...way you can. I'm still only 3 months in and was looking at that 'S' word. I'm on a small dose of AD and benzos and rather large amount of alcohol (5 stubbies a night) for my small size (52kg). I'm reducing the alcohol now even though it relieves the T or else I know I'm going to be dealing...

    Alcohol Is Not an Approved Treatment

    Yeah, alcohol does calm you down same... works somewhat the way benzos do. But of course, heavy alcohol use carries big risks, including addiction (just like benzos). If your suffering is due to anxiety (which I assume it is, as it is for a lot of tinnitus folks), you could try a benzo like...

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

    I think that if you are an alcoholic or someone who drinks everyday this may be an issue. But drinking casually a couple times a week shouldn't be an issue.

    When I use marijuana, caffeine or alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse. I have good days too, with "non-annoying" tinnitus, up to 20 days a month. When I use the aforementioned, it must speed up my neurons which is why tinnitus happens, I guess. I'm wondering if Dr. Shore's device will help slow...

    Is It Safe to Drink While Taking Benzos?

    Drinking alcohol while on benzos increases your risk of tolerance and given that benzos are already highly addictive I would highly suggest abstaining from drinking.

    University and Social Life with Tinnitus

    have you ever tried if alcohol increased your tinnitus or not? if yes you should not play a drinking game every weekend because it can worse your tinnitus. alcohol stimulates your nervous system and your brain (and destroys it) and tinnitus is a brain/nervous thing.

On the positive side, nothing besides acoustic shock has ever worsened my tinnitus (alcohol, coffee, salt, drugs, etc). Perhaps that would be a good sign going into this.
