    There Are Ways to Help Tinnitus

    Foods: - I noticed that avoiding alcohol, and caffeine lowered the volume of my T. I am a heavy coffee drinker so cutting it out was significant to my diet. Now I drink coffee heavy again, I get the T but I easily "shut it off" by tuning it out. Adding more nutrients to my diet, basically...
