    Need Advice! Difficult Choice of Antibiotic (Doxycycline vs. Ceftriaxone)

    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...

    Poll: What Effect Does Alcohol Have on Your Tinnitus?

    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...

    Just Discovered Coffee Massively Helps My Tinnitus

    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.

    What Does Crying Do with Your Tinnitus?

    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...

    Is It Safe to Drink While Taking Benzos?

    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.

    How to Prevent an Ear Infection from Using Earplugs Excessively?

    ...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...

    University and Social Life with Tinnitus

    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.

    What's the Consensus on Food Being a Trigger for Making Tinnitus Worse?

    ...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...

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    ...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...

    Phenibut

    ...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.

    Trying to Understand Why the Volume of Tinnitus Keeps Changing

    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.

    Alcohol Quiets Down My Tinnitus

    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...

    Guys, It's VERY Possible That a Cure Is Right in Front of Us...

    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...

    Could TMJ Be the Real Cause?

    ...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.
