    Can TMJ Disorder Cause Pulsatile Tinnitus? Do I Have Hope?

    ...for hyperthyroidism. This is frequently associated with higher systolic blood pressure or systolic hypertension. 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.

There is at least anecdotal and animal-model evidence to suggest that noise combined with alcohol is worse than noise or alcohol by themselves (severe alcohol abuse can cause tinnitus on its own, alcohol is significantly neurotoxic and obviously...

    Fluctuating Tinnitus Must Mean More...

    The only things I've noticed have an effect for me are alcohol :( and MSG. Both make it worse. For some people alcohol makes it quieter. By chance someone told me that alcohol is the 'antidote' to glutamate. I dont know how true this is.

    Normally, I don't drink alcohol. The one time when I tried drinking a small amount during the past 8 months, my T switched ears (!!!). I was terrified. Needless to say, I never tried drinking alcohol again.

    My Tinnitus Was Probably Caused by Long COVID-19 — Headaches, Stiff Neck, Sleepless Nights

    I'm all for people's experiences, good or bad, but ranting and screaming things like 'poison' or 'the devil' offers nothing. These same people will then be happy for XEN1011 or any other medication to treat their tinnitus. Some of these people down alcohol and eat processed foods.

    Poll: What Effect Does Alcohol Have on Your Tinnitus?

    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...

    My Hyperacusis Recovery Story

    @Nick47, I am only loosely referring to nicotine and alcohol. I noticed that vaping and smoking cigarettes seemed to agitate my hyperacusis. This was a major reason I stopped vaping or smoking.

    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...

    Why Does Alcohol Seem to Reduce the Severity of My Tinnitus? Coincidence or Not?

    I once read a story about a guy who could only reduce his tinnitus by drinking whiskey daily. He figured it was better living as an alcoholic than suffering with tinnitus. I'm guessing for a very few lucky folks, alcohol hits the right receptors to silence tinnitus.
