I've had tinnitus all my life, although it seems to be getting worse as
I get older. A lot of things I've read say tinnitus sufferers should
avoid alcohol and caffeine, and I love my Diet Pepsi and the occasional
Guinness. But I could give them up if I thought it might help. Has
anybody here given up one of both of these things and noticed a
difference.
Thanks,
Norrin

What is the CAUSE of it? Have you 'habituated' successfully? I don't
want to sound too long-winded. But go back to my previous posts and
see what I have suggested. Then try them out. Drop them if it does
not work for you.

Stick to them 'occasionally'. These are the spices of life. YOu may
want to consider giving up Pepsi, which is industrial garbage anyway.
No, I personally have found no relationship between t and these things.

I try to avoid coffee, but I am addicted to diet coke, which I don't
think I will give up. When I drink coffee and return to my desk at the
office, I can notice straight away that the volume has gone up. I
quited alcohol 5 years ago. For me, beer led to higher ringing volume.
And hangover the next day did not help.

Yes.
Alcohol first suppresses T but later enhances it.
(rebound effect)
I have no problem with caffeine.
