    Hearing Loss and Severe Tinnitus — From Loving Life to Suicidal in 2 Months

    I'm back on the benzos and alcohol after I swore off them. I just want not to care, just for a little while. Just like I used to, I want to get lost in my mind again, but the door is locked, and I can't get in there anymore. That was my safe place, and it's gone because everything in my life is...

    Alcohol Spiking Tinnitus

    @Bryce - Alcohol helps my tinnitus today, but I gave it up for at least 2 months when t started. I didn't trust myself with alcohol and was solely focused on figuring out the cause for my t when it started. We are all different though. Alcohol (in moderation) has a positive impact on my tinnitus...

    Suicidal

    Drinking copious amounts of alcohol completely cures my dysacusis and noxacusis at least. But it's not sustainable.

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

    Drinking alcohol lessens my tinnitus. Very rarely will my tinnitus will lessen on its own, very rarely. However, a few cocktails seem to lessen it considerably... for a short period anyway. I'm not advocating 'converting' to alcoholism, but when all else fails, you go with what works...

    MDMA (a Component of Ecstacy) Potential for the Treatment of Tinnitus

    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...

    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...

He is also doing emotional work, more and more is starting to show trauma and emotions not dealt with can hold the body in a “unwell” state. I too am not doing any caffeine or alcohol, haven’t for the past 5 months.

    Confused About Reactive Tinnitus: Where's the Expert Advice?

    Clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

    How much do I need, a few beers or strong stuff? Hyperacusis and tinnitus getting worse every day, no matter what I do, it's the tolerance level in the brain.

    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.

    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...

    Basically Cured with Psilocybin

    Yeah, some things are probably more likely to cause long lasting issues too. Certain things I won't stop for a temporary increase though. Like Ketamine for instance. Or drinking alcohol. Neither I do too frequently but I can deal with temporary increases. It's worth it for me.

    7 Weeks of Tinnitus After a Loud Concert, Hoping for a Good Outcome

    ...2 days after my last update, it looks like I’ve woken up with a spike. Ugh. The only thing unusual I did yesterday was have a glass of wine. Many people report that alcohol helps their tinnitus (at least temporarily) but I’m going to cut all alcohol for a few months and see how that goes.

    A Half Pint of Neat Whiskey Makes My Tinnitus Go Away, Allowing for a Night's Sleep

    Alcohol lowers blood sugar. I would research that. Start monitoring your blood sugar and insulin levels and see if there is a metabolic imbalance and if it correlates with the tinnitus spikes.

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    I’ve been avoiding alcohol for fear that would increase my tinnitus based on what I have read and heard anecdotally, as I know for many it can cause spikes. I have found that in fact, more often than not, drinking alcohol actually quiets my tinnitus. Does anybody that phenomenon? I’m not a...

My tinnitus doesn't respond to Clonazepam, but given your posts, maybe I'll try alcohol instead. This was an old post of yours -- I hope your tinnitus has improved over the years.

    I'll be honest - Alcohol totally numbed my T. (when I had it).. The sounds were so buried that I could barely hear it. I wouldn't be dependent on Alcohol, though. Isn't healthy and there's always consequences (health wise)

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    Too much alcohol results in tinnitus with a hangover - not good. Just enough - a pleasant feeling of relaxation which reduces perception of tinnitus, often a good sleep which is refreshing in itself. Alcohol in the right doses is definitely a boon.

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    For me alcohol really helps, couple of glasses of red wine and maybe a shot of whiskey and it's all good. The balance issue stays but is morphed with the alcohol, it's a double edged sword but better than reality.

    I think alcohol exacerbates my tinnitus. Sometimes I have a glass of wine at night, and the next morning my noise is worse. Although I didn't have any alcohol last night, and today it is SOOOOO LOUD!!!! Ugh!!!

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    For me alcohol tones my T down a shade...or rather...getting a slight buzz makes me completely not focus on my T...I care less about it. But it generally doesn't turn my T down to zero. All said, I never use alcohol to get rid of my T. I only drink in certain social situations for fun because...

    Long Time Tinnitus, First Time Poster — Tinnitus Intensity Increasing to the Point of Great Concern

    After years of low grade tinnitus issues, intensity is increasing to the point of great concern. Recently started a plant-based diet and after 6 weeks the tinnitus got worse. Alcohol seems to diminish symptoms while drinking but then return. Now trying a no alcohol and coffee regimen. Thoughts?

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

    6 drinks is probably a week's worth of alcohol, or should be. The bottom line is that alcohol in any quantity is neurotoxic and carcinogenic, and there's pretty good data showing a linear relationship between various cancers, and alcohol consumption. Meaning, this effect does not disappear when...

    Tinnitus for 3 Months: Unsure of Cause, Struggling to Accept

    I'm sorry to hear that. :( You're already using all the supplements I would suggest. I've quit alcohol too just to see if it does anything (high inflammatory and neurotoxin) but it's too soon to know if it'll do anything.

    Alcohol Is Not an Approved Treatment

    I'm pretty certain alcohol increases mine too, but since I flucuate it's impossible to know. New Year's Day I did have champagne and did not get loud; but I was loud the next day. In general, alcohol either reduces or increases your noise. But, since alcohol acts on GABA receptors, you would...

    Everything went well, until last night

    I always find my T is much worse the day after drinking alcohol. It has always reduced back to my normal level though. I did find that I think my trigger for the spikes is alcohol rather than the noise: I've had no spike after a loud night out without alcohol (with plugs) but then a huge spike...

    I Took Some Zopiclone and the Tinnitus Stopped

    It does mess with the GABA but to what degree I don't know. Alcohol withdrawal will be causing all sorts of havoc in your brain atm so it's perfectly expected that your tinnitus is going to be harder to cope with, but stay strong!
