Underrated Tinnitus Offenders?

For the last four months since I have tinnitus it fluctuates a lot without no apparent reason.

What did you discover with time that makes your tinnitus worse besides the usual suspects: loud noise, headphones, alcohol, antibiotics, coffee, lack of sleep, stress, sports, etc? From this list I can say for certain that only alcohol and lack of sleep seem to increase my tinnitus level every time, 100% no exception. Other than that I get a lot of fluctuations either because I am missing some 'not so well known' offenders or it's unfortunately completely random.

 

Fluctuations in tinnitus is quite common in the early stages which you are in so try not to worry. Please click on the links below and read my articles and posts that you might find helpful.

@Michael Leigh thanks for replying. I have read most of your posts in the beginning (I joined the forum just right after getting tinnitus).

I have weeks when tinnitus gets progressively better day by day, can only hear it in the house when the db meter registers about 25-30 dB. Then I just wake up to a bad tinnitus day when I can hear it while outside in heavy traffic... Would you say this is 'normal' without any obvious triggers?

 

This forum. I'm not sure why I still log on. I guess I'm desperate for a new therapy, since there is no cure.

All that suicidal thought crap just blows my T up! Get a grip people!!!

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but damn!!!

 

Dairy products.

Some people say that consuming cinnamon makes their T louder.
