Alcohol makes it better during but worse after!

Has alcohol made T worse for anyone

...onset. I don't think there's much you can do, other than waiting it out. What I have to say though is, don't beat yourself up by thinking the alcohol withdrawal was the reason for it. It may be idiopathic or maybe there's a (treatable) cause for it. For such a mysterious thing like tinnitus...

Did you drink at the game? Perhaps the spike is from Alcohol rather than the noise?

I have no actual knowledge of this, but I've never heard of alcohol causing tinnitus. I do know that existing tinnitus can get louder with alcohol use, though. Could it have something to do with an infection, blood pressure or something with your jaw/teeth, perhaps? Btw, 16000 seems very very...

Cheese, Chocolate, anything salty even alcohol spikes my t.

I know alcohol withdrawal can make your hearing more sensitive, tinnitus is actually a symptom of alcohol withdrawal, I don't want to try any medications and I'm no good at tapering, just like when I quit smoking last year I found out I have to just go cold turkey. Maybe in a few weeks when the...

What was your alcohol, nicotine, salt and sugar intake before, and what is it now?

Alcohol and SSRIs can increase tinnitus as well.

How come is it that some get tinnitus relief from alcohol, others don't, and some get worse? It confuses me!

Ooh so alcohol is supposed to get you a spike the next day?? Yeah I cut wayyy back on the weed. Prob only smoke a very small amount 3 times a week.

At first I avoided many things but mainly coffee and alcohol because I was afraid of spikes. But after a while the fear for spikes faded and I started drinking both again.

alcohol super quiets my tinnitus or super distracts me from it

Alcohol helps some of the times -- not always.

Weed yes, should be legal same as alcohol

...other day I was with friends, had a drink and I must admit my T almost completely went down, from 9/10 to 3/10 which was great, it's not the alcohol alone but the good company too in combination helps a lot, feeling comfortable. Unfortunately with alcohol usually the next days or after that...

I don't drink alcohol. Makes my T worse.

Thanks linear b, ill have once in a while for better sleep :) and do my blog about beers

Too much alcohol makes you overweight and is very hard on your body, my uncle is an alcoholic and it's really sad to see what that's doing to him. I'm not saying never drink, just saying that too much can morph into a bad and unhealthy habit. I have never had alcohol influence my T...but then...

I'm sure too much alcohol will effect T on its own, even without the loud music! Alcohol puts physical stress on your body as well if you drink too much, dehydration, raised body temperature, head ache, which leads to mental stress etc - all affects T. Like anything I guess - 'in moderation' is...

Caffeine don't change my T at all. Drinking alcohol makes my T quiter.

But would you say I could hinder the recovery from my current spike, damaging myself in a permanent way, if I do these things tomorrow?

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.

Why does alcohol have to spike my T

That really all depends on my alcohol intake...

@SmallRonnie, just take it easy with that stuff pal.

It is not common cause for alcohol to trigger tinnitus. Perhaps it may come from something else and your drinking alcohol is just a coincidence. It is a good idea to see an ENT to check out the ears and if there is too much ear wax then the ENT can deal with it. Micro-suction can cause problem...

Yeah. I had a few periods of silence early on. You also trimmed this post. I was basically advocating getting drunk at the time. Alcohol abuse absolutely quieted my T, and I was abusing alcohol then, and even in that post down playing how much I actually was drinking. Don't trade one issue...

Alcohol, sport, excitement, stiffness in the neck and jaw, stress

The number of high-profile musicians having alcohol/benzo issues suddenly makes a lot more sense. Yes, they party. But could it be also the little fact that alcohol attenuates tinnitus in many people, or at least makes it possible to sleep?...

Alcohol makes my tinnitus go away. Why is their a deficit of information about this?

I haven't drank alcohol since getting tinnitus and before I didn't drink much at all (I thought it wasn't worth the expense). I was wondering if a glass of wine helps or a small amount of alcohol. I do not believe in drinking a lot. However, I wanted to get people's experiences either short...

...react differently, though, just as they do to drugs, like benzos, that target your brain chemistry and the anxiety response. However, alcohol in general is a bad -- and ineffective-- sleep aid. While it can help you fall asleep, your sleep patterns become disturbed as your system...

alcohol hits same receptors and benzos..it was tongue in cheek my friend. . I prefer coffee myself..ahh another wonderful legal drug.

Alcohol will excite your brain and make your tinnitus more noticeable, in addition to providing poor sleep (alcohol will make you fall asleep quickly, but the sleep you get is not restful and doesn't recharge you well - you may notice you wake up a few hours in rather than sleeping deep). I...

Alcohol can sometimes spike me but it goes down.

Right. Even if it was on Doctors, the advice is likely assuming two things: 1. You don't have T and H. 2. You actually have Swimmer's Ear.

...items not to eat and /or consume less of. You will have to test each one. For me, the hardest to give up and modify are caffeine, salt, and alcohol (we all like to have a glass of wine once in a while!) If you suspect that a particular food is contributing to your tinnitus, avoid eating any...

Curious, but this is almost identical to the so called "6C's diet" prescribed to people diagnosed with Migraine Associated Vertigo and Vestibular Migraine! Cross-over, much?!

Hi Lynn, There are warnings about alcohol and OTC medications that contain alcohol and antibiotics: http://www.drugs.com/article/antibiotics-and-alcohol.html#table1 There's also a warning for those taking a thyroid hormone medication for hypothyroidism...

Me too. Not even Magnesium.

Lack of sleep, sugar and alcohol 10% No identified reason 90%

...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...

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...

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.

...and boom, ringing was off the charts. The second shot increased it a little more and then the 3rd a little more. I don't think about alcohol all day but I agree with many of the rest, in the evenings it helps calm all my nerves and not a great way to manage this but I haven't found too...

...work, and rarely leave my house (aside from being outside) during the day, so it's not a noise thing. Evenings when I eat dinner or have some alcohol, I would think, "yes a spike" but no, without even eating or drinking tinnitus has same high electrical pitch as it does with alcohol (except...

This makes me curious. When I drink alcohol my tinnitus always gets louder when I quit drinking. I don't understand why it wouldn't be the same for everyone. I have noticed people say to avoid alcohol. Now..while I am drinking...say after having an IPA it quietens but doesn't last long.

APS - thick blood - can lead to tinnitus which may be reduced by blood thinners. The condition is picked up by a simple blood test. I was thinking that this may be the reason some people’s tinnitus decreases with alcohol. Anyone else got APS? Did blood thinners help?

Curry+alcohol *completely* silenced my somatic T last night. How? Back again today though...

OK, scratch that. Alcohol does make my t worse. :/

Has anyone found that their tinnitus gets louder after / during drinking alcohol? It may just be a coincidence but mine seems to spike

...die from a movement disorder. On the other hand, Clonazepam is safer in that regard, though it will not kill you unless you combine it with alcohol or other substances. I always keep plenty of Clonazepam on hand. That said, it can sometimes be difficult to find a doctor willing to prescribe...

I can't sleep. I went hard with alcohol the other night - something I hadn't done in years. This is awful.

Hi guys. I'm sorry that I post so much, haha. Anyhow it's just because I've novice something strange. I know alcohol is supposed to make tinnitus worse, however the exact opposite happens to me when I drink alcohol. My tinnitus gets better which would not be strange if it was the night where I...

Sauce?

If you are going to follow my curcumin experiments, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL.

I like your sense of humour @Richard zurowski It's good to have a laugh.:p

I did not drink alcohol while there either. Only was there to socialize with others.
