I do not think there is a clear answer to this question, as we all react differently to medication, stimulants, and alcohol. However, it is true that coffee and alcohol are often considered substances that can temporarily increase tinnitus. Personally, that has not been the case for me. Up...

@myself, I can report that, in my case, coffee increases my tinnitus. Alcohol has the opposite effect—it decreases it. However, since I am taking antidepressants, I cannot drink too much. ☹️

Hi! So, drinking alcohol increases my tinnitus alot, its like 3 times higher when i drink alcohol. Drinking coffee makes my tinnitus louder in my left ear (not as much as alcohol). Whats the science behide this? Why is alcohol and coffee increasing my tinnitus? If they know the cause, how hard...

...fairly loud. I do not take any medication, but I was wondering if anyone else has a problem with caffeine. I cannot drink any caffeine or alcohol, as both cause a spike in my tinnitus. It usually lasts about 10 to 12 hours before it settles back to normal. I was just prescribed Cephalexin...

...noticed when I have a beer, my tinnitus goes away for a while until the body gets rid of it, and then the T comes back (sometimes louder). Alcohol suppresses glutamate production, yes? And this is what AM-101 and OTO is suppose to help with. So, question... Do chronic sufferers experience...

Alcohol completely resolves my symptoms. Anyone else?

...less distressing (somewhat) because I hoped it would go away, but it became very distressing and I began drinking a lot, which evolved in alcohol abuse, to sleep and ignore it during the day. Overtime I got better at habituating with it, and could mostly not be bothered by it during the day -...

We all know more or less how alcohol theoretically affects GABA receptors and how in general it's a very bad idea to mess with those, but I wonder how tinnitus sufferers manage their relationship with alcohol, since for some it can cause instant spikes whereas for others it can give a temporary...

Okay, so I hadn't drank any alcohol in like 16 years or so but I decided to see the other day if it would lower my tinnitus. I drank I think maybe around an ounce of liquor (not sure, but it definitely wasn't enough to get me drunk). Anyways, it did not lower my tinnitus. My question is, if...

I'm in a real pickle now... I've been battling alcohol for some time. It was an issue before tinnitus, but now it's worse because I use alcohol for the stress and sleep. I get withdrawals if I stop, so it's not good.... Anyway, my problem is this: Valium really helps with alcohol withdrawal...

...and had an audiologist do a hearing test which they deemed to be "perfect." The only explanation I can come up with is that I drank a lot of alcohol and smoked a lot of cigarettes for the past 6 years. I am wondering if these two things alone could have caused permanent damage. Does anyone...

I was wondering, if there is any possibility that alcohol can increase tinnitus permanently? I'm asking this because I drink alcohol a lot last few months because it knocks me down for sleeping. I'd rather drink 5 or 6 beers every night than taking sleeping pils. Thank you in advance folks!

Hi everyone, Yesterday I drank alcohol—quite a bit, but not an excessive amount. You know what I mean. Anyway, my tinnitus is louder today. Has anyone else experienced this? Will it return to normal soon?

Do any of you have experience of taking an andidepressant escitalopram (cipralex) with alcohol? I take escitalopram and I want to drink some champagne. What do you think?

...and thought a lot about reasons for my T. Recently I also got Visual snow addition to my lovely T. One contributing factor I am thinking is alcohol. I personally was on 35 UK units a week for last 5 years, way over the medical limit, thought it never messed with my life or social...

...in and white noise masker turned on) to being noticeable. This was about 6 hours ago and it's still spiked now. I've had a 3 spikes in the last month and if I think about it I've had a drink of alcohol beforehand. Nothing in excess though. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in...

Who knew plastic containers can sound like a bomb when opening them. And no I'm not on any drugs or alcohol!

...nauseous whenever I am in loud places. This has never happened before. But what has happened cannot be changed. All the progress I’ve made over the years—living basically a tinnitus and hyperacusis-free life—is gone in just a few alcohol-induced hours. Any tips on how not to be angry at...

Alcohol makes my tinnitus much worse?? :-(( Why?? I'm 19 years old and I need to go out sometimes... I'm really thinking about killing myself... Then it's all over and I'll have silence forever.

...and even one day where I could barely hear it over my girlfriend’s breathing while she was sleeping! After the onset, I stopped drinking alcohol for almost a year, but I didn’t change my diet or anything. However, I did avoid loud events for a long time. If you have any questions, feel free...

I did a search and didn't quite find what I was looking for. A number of topics indicated that alcohol helped people tolerate tinnitus better. I guess it does by just helping with distraction. I have a few beers a few nights a week, just not every night. Here lately it seems like my tinnitus...

...I have neck pain or shoulder pain, my distortions are really bad. Does anyone understand the correlation here? 2. I notice when I drink alcohol, the distortions fade/go away. Why is that? Is blood sugar a factor? 3. Does anyone feel fluid in their ears is a part of this? I feel fluid in...

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a positive or negative effect on their T from drinking alcohol? Its the only dietary thing that I've noticed which affects mine. Adversely. Very adversely in fact :( It goes back to 'normal' when the drink has worn off but until then it ramps up.

Some good news:) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5438380/

...EARPLUGS! I've been doing so well for past 2 years. My T&H were basically gone, I found new joy in life. But, because I just wanted to be with my friends just for ONCE before we graduate, it's all gone in few alcohol induced hours. A terrible spike going on. I even had my earplugs on all the...

Alcohol should not be consumed frequently or in large amounts, especially if you take daily medication, as it can significantly increase the risk of ototoxic effects.

Hi everyone, My name is Cesar. I got tinnitus after drinking a lot of alcohol at a party. At the party, I was able to walk and talk, but when I got home I realized there was a noise in my ears like static when a TV is on. It has decreased since then but I still hear it. During the day it is...

...and I have high pitched ringing in both ears. Feels like everyday the noises are different. I’ve discovered online that antibiotics and / or alcohol can cause tinnitus. Needless to say, I feel so stupid for taking the antibiotics and then drinking. I’ve been to the ENT. He says my ears are...

...decided that CBT therapy wasn't suitable at the moment. Am I going mad and seeing correlation/causation that isn't there? My thoughts are: Alcohol distracts me enough to forget tinnitus? Alcohol has some other effect on my body that is actually reducing the severity? (I read that it's blood...

...Is the spike going to go away? Does anyone know how long it might last? I never drink. This was the first time in years that I’ve had any alcohol. Any information on this would be appreciated. I just can’t believe something like this could happen. If anyone else has experienced this, I would...

I believe food can trigger tinnitus, but when it comes to alcohol, I’ve noticed that my tinnitus worsens depending on the type of wine. This makes me think that it might not be the alcohol itself causing the issue, but rather the preservatives used in the wine. “It is hypothesized that in...

The more I think about it, the more I think Propranolol might be the perfect habituation drug for tinnitus. Unlike alcohol or benzodiazepines it doesn't mask the sensation of the tinnitus but it does keep the body from physiologically responding in a fight or flight mode.

...non-existent) to pretty loud. Then yesterday I didn't have any buzzing mostly for 3 days (longest since I got it 4 months ago) then I drank alcohol. The buzzing then came back about 15 hours later... Do any of you have this happen where caffeine in pop and alcohol make tinnitus worse...

Hi, I was wondering if alcohol and caffeine are especially dangerous to tinnitus sufferers. I drink 2 cups of coffee per day and have given up all other caffeine drinks. I have maybe 2-3 drinks per week. Am I playing with fire? Thank you very much...

...2 months but with school picking up I really find myself craving/needing it. I'd read somewhere that it has the potential to turn acute tinnitus into permanent tinnitus? Is this true? Does anyone have actual study/data on this or is all knowledge anecdotal? Also how bad is alcohol for...

Hello, I'm relatively new here and to tinnitus but I'm thinking that this is now my new normal. Short intro. Lost a friend to suicide at the end of the January. Just happened to be in the best shape and place of my life as well. I didn't handle things well and started drinking pretty heavily...

...it is even widely available. Back in the early days of my tinnitus onset, debates raged over whether patients should or should not drink alcohol or coffee. The argument was settled more or less; they agreed to disagree. Those who noticed their tinnitus increasing after drinking alcohol were...

...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...

Alcohol always quiets down my tinnitus, and I'm sure it has something to do with GABA and the brain. But alcohol will make tinnitus worse in the long run because it is neurotoxic and ototoxic.

I'm not really religious and im not advocating alcoholism, but thank god for alcohol if i may say.. lolz

...Christmas time that I was doing a lot better/habituating to my recently increased tinnitus, then new years came round and I decided to quit alcohol because I was drinking a lot (8 to 10 pints of beer a day), straight away all the distress come back again, the depression, anxiety, insomnia...

Actually I have a couple of questions and a couple more: 1. Does it lower it right after you drink alcohol? 2. How long will it lower your tinnitus for and does it lower it longer if you drink more at the same sitting? 3. If you take it in the morning will it lower your tinnitus for the...

...and then settles down. Now l feel like l can't drink anymore and l love my few glasses of wine over the weekends. Does anyone else find alcohol makes their Hyperacusis worse? How much do you drink and what do you drink? It makes me feel so sad to think l can't enjoy drinking without being...

...helps a lot. Then it slowly started to disappear. Funny enugh, during the worst period I had few bright days just after parties with lot of alcohol (wedding). Also when I was doing a very heavy physical exercise (mountain trek for instance), it disappeared as well. Now it starts only...
