Then why don't you do a second generation cephalosporin like Keflex (cephalexin) or IV ceftriaxone? No. I don't drink alcohol. Havent since April last year, around the time I fell ill. Why your perceived increased with tinnitus is beyond me. Noone can really tell you with certainty if it is...

I wonder if anyone else has had this experience. I have pretty bad 24/7 tinnitus and using alcohol is the only thing that has consistently made my tinnitus quieter. I know many people experience the opposite, but even the next day I don't have any spike from drinking, I have never been a...

Coffee in the morning seems to noticeably lower my tinnitus. Not sure why this is. Everything I have read says to avoid caffeine and alcohol. However, those seem to be the only two substances that seem to help change the volume for the better.

Alcohol + anxiety = not fun 1/10 would not recommend But seriously: don't try to fix your anxiety/panic attacks with alcohol. It just doesn't help. On a serious note - crying always helped me in dealing with negative emotions. You can only cry for so long, and when you're so sad and tired...

I don't think it is worth the risk, to take benzos and drink alcohol at the same time (during the evening, etc.). Time it so that both are many hours apart.

...my outer ear canal. I'm very worried about developing an ear infection. Are there any remedies I can do to prevent developing an ear infection? Besides not wearing earplugs and wearing my Peltors when needed of course. Should I just start Q-tipping rubbing alcohol into the outer ear? Thank...

Alcohol free Passion flower drops is my miracle sleep aid. Also work for anxiety.

have you ever tried if alcohol increased your tinnitus or not? if yes you should not play a drinking game every weekend because it can worse your tinnitus. alcohol stimulates your nervous system and your brain (and destroys it) and tinnitus is a brain/nervous thing.

...has never had any effect on T - no matter how salty, sugary or spicy, nothing happens. I've experimented with various diets (I've been on keto for 1.5 years now), also no effect. Tried fasting, again no effect. The only "food" that does affect it is alcohol, mellows it out nicely. Alcohol is...

Has anyone who could not drink alcohol due to it causing spikes been able to again drink after habituation without having a relapse?

Alcohol doesn't affect me at all. If anything it soothes it.

...no cure from tinnitus: it is very complex and possibly has several - or maybe even many underlying different mechanisms for each individual. Alcohol increases GABA so it can be linked with the hypothesis that at least for some people the tinnitus mechanism is related with the lack of GABA in...

Don't know but I used to hang out with some guys who consumed Ketamine via nose or even injected in club environments. The alcohol just seemed to increase the K effects. Lol

...to know I'm not the only one like this! I cut the salt when they said it was Ménière's and don't really have caffeine , trying hard with the alcohol , but prior to this had a very active social life and alcohol was part of it, unable to go out now due to looking like a drunk and sleep...

yes there is 500mg option, but for 60ml. would it still be 5%?

...now and it hasn't reduced my tinnitus either time. Even now I'm on a fairly high dose and my tinnitus is still the same. I am going through a spike at the moment though so maybe that affects it too. I'm definitely very chilled out though. It's kind of like a cross between a benzo and alcohol.

Hi. This is very difficult to know because it is specific to each person. Some are affected by neck, TMJ, diet such as salt, sugar or alcohol, CBD, doing exercises etc. You need to have a log of what you are doing and try to see what affects the tones.

Yes, I reread the clinical trial and found that information. :) Still, I would practice moderation. Who knows long term what might happen?

How

I'm only two weeks in with tinnitus and hadn't read anything about not consuming alcohol. For sure, two beers in things got a lot quieter - but I think it was just because ALL my senses are dulled with some alchohol. I do feel like it got a little worse the next day, though - but then I had...

...was as it's worst I tried to have a beer or a glass of wine in the evening to help me relax. It does help me feel more relaxed, even though the sound of my tinnitus seems to increase. But after some alcohol I sleep even worse than usually, so (maybe fortunately) alcohol doesn't really work...

Any updates on your trial of Naltrexone/LDN?

I also want to add that I think alcohol interfered with tinnitus in a negative way. Often times I would wake up after a night of drinking and have the ringing more pronounced for a few days. This is also consistent with the literature, as alcohol is a known inflammatory, and CLEARLY wreaks havoc...

Since the onset of my T, I had a little alcohol only once. As a result, my T switched ears(!!) It was only temporary.

You were on alcohol every night all this period of habituation?

Caffeine (only dark coffee) helps me with tinnitus, but alcohol spikes my tinnitus after few hours.

Bump, anyone else drinking pop or alcohol and getting spikes a day later??

mt - Whoo,... slow down there Trigger! No alcohol! (Next topic, please)

Alcohol has an effect on gaba receptors in the same way that benzo do. The paradox, what cures you can hurt you. Long term benzo use / Long term alcohol use. Rock, meet hard place. I'm back on clonazepam .5mg once a day and it's very effective and seeing my primary care doc Monday, fingers...

Alcohol does not increase tinnitus. Certainly not by a factor of 10

It`s true while being on alcohol it softens, but the day after there is usually a peak. I havn`t drunken alcohol for a few weeks now and my high peaks are gone. T is more steady.

...tinnitus getting worse. I had my ears checked by my doctor, and he said they look perfectly fine. I have also been going to the gym, avoiding alcohol, and getting as much sleep as possible. These things seem to help alleviate the symptoms a bit, but they do not make the tinnitus go away...

I rarely drink alcohol, but I consume excessive amounts of caffeine both tea & coffee

Are you still taking Dayvigo? Is Dayvigo non-ototoxic?

@MountainCreek I was not for one second suggesting that anyone use alcohol in the volumes that I find it necessary to reduce Tinnitus. I was asking what the mechanism is which is resulting in it lowering T so that I could home in on what's going on for me and find a healthy alternative. I'd...

Then it was probably the noise and not the alcohol which caused the tinnitus - but I could be wrong.

...to destroy someone else's life like that! Upsetting! No, I never took any medication, antidepressants, sleeping pills or such. I did quit alcohol and coffee for the first months, but I don’t think that it made any difference at all. The damage was already there. I just focused on healing by...

Alcohol makes my T louder. But since it's temporary I don't really care.

Alcohol is GABAergenic, so it can have an inhibitory effect on tinnitus.

Agree, same for me.

Any liquid with alcohol in it will do just fine for me... :)

...original post is that the area where my TMJ joint is on both sides of my face and the area under my ears going down the sides of my jaw are extremely sensitive to alcohol and sugary drinks. If I drink alcohol or soda, I will get the worst shooting pain in those areas, so something isn't right.

alcohol has no effect on the T for you then, Thats good

Oh dear!! http://www.hear-it.org/Alcohol-can-cause-hearing-loss

What do you mean by "stopped drinking alcohol"? You were a raging alcoholic and stopped cold turkey? Or you were a casual drinker and decided to live healthy? You need to be a bit more specific, because getting tinnitus can be linked to alcohol withdrawal due to GABA receptor plasticity - but...

Hey Linear b, do you think dinking alcohol spikes your t? since i dont party a lot anymore haha i wanna have a new hobbie thats basically buying beeer from around the world and rate them. haha thanks

Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences with caffeine and alcohol..it’s one less thing to worry about.

I basically do not consume alcohol, well at least not for the past two years. Here the other day I tough "hey, perhaps I should try to get drunk!" Cause alcohol calms the central nervous system and that's good when it comes to T. But I've been afraid of the hangover and how I remember that was...

For me its opposite. Alcohol makes my T better. Anyone else the same?

I've become a whisky/scotch/bourbon collector since this infliction. Alcohol seems to help me, temporarily...

...to make any difference are good quality sleep, not overdoing it physically or mentally and somewhat bizarrely, drinking a generous amount of alcohol with absolutely certainty completely eliminate it at the time of consumption and about 80% of the time for the whole of the next day...

Long-term use of alcohol is associated with various kinds of neurotoxicity and structural changes to GABA function which are probably likely, at least in some cases, to worsen tinnitus. Alcohol is a pretty terrible drug, enough so that if it had just been invented yesterday, it would almost...

I believe alcohol is like Xanax, it numb you a little. It has the same effect on me. Just try not to abuse.

When I drink alcohol my tinnitus increase alot, i mean it becomes like 3 times higher than normal, and my tinnitus is loud at normal stage. But, i've always wondered why is my tinnitus getting louder when i drink alcohol? And how hard can it be to find a drug with opposite effect? Ps. Just...

I took a while, but it´s finally sunk in, alcohol is pure poison in withdrawal. It will prolong and destroy progress. Thanks, Star:huganimation:

I read that alcohol makes tinnitus worse. I could sure drink a nice ice cold margarita.

Alcohol definitely decreases my tinnitus. I am not a big drinker but when I do, my tinnitus almost disappears but not completely. But I focus on it less and I can enjoy myself. Since I have all kinds of TMJ issues and I’m highly stressed and tense, I wonder if for me, my tinnitus decreases...

Lol if drinking aggravates that waht does make it better, alcohol is best!

I don't find coffee, alcohol or chocolate have any effect on my T.

I don’t think you should take it. But I would ask around more locally rather than order something bogus from China. If alcohol, antidepressants, Diazepam or anti-seizure meds have no effect on your tinnitus, then save your energy...
