What kind of beer(apart from non alcoholic) do you guys who are finding relief drink? Lager? Ale? Guinness? etc...

What does wine have that makes the ringing go up.What about liquor. Has anyone T gone up with liquor.

Did a little research and found that most beers that claim to be non-alcoholic still have between 01.-0.5% alcohol in them.

Personally, I drink Beck's (not the light or the dark, just the regular stuff). Two or three takes care of the T for me for a day or so (drinking it the evening before, not at work mind you). And unfortunately, wine does make the T louder. Have no idea why, maybe more alcohol? Maybe the sulfites? Beerr on the other hand..., maybe the hopps, barley? Certainly it can't be the alcohol alone since it's really not that high a content.

like rosssu above, wine is the ultimate tinnitus spike for me. One glass of red and pow! "Would someone anser that phone!?"

But I love red wine. The temporary spike used to bother me but now I'm like.. "pour me another!". Wine is way to essential to me to forgo. Sorry Mr. T you're not taking that one, bud.

On the occasion I drink beer - I also drink Becks and Heineken as well; it seems not to matter as to whether it's ale, dark, light, amber so long as it's full (non light) beer.

Ledli, Hard liquor (in my case) is fairly nuetral. If anything tequila may bump my volume a touch but NOTHING like wine. Beer does work for me though, I cannot deny it.

is it really true what i am hearing that beer helps lessen the "T" ? i am not a beer drinker and have never liked beer but maybe i will have to try some???? what kind of beer or does it really matter??

Beer has helped reduce my T ringing. But I drink half non alcohol and half regular beer. The non alcohol beer does not taste good to me and by mixing it with a regular beer is much better. It helps reduce my T level even through the next day sometimes, but not always. I have tried differnt brands but to me it does not matter what kind it is.

I would wager that any beer would be fine. I'm not trying to promote alchololism by any means, but one or two might do the trick, especially if one is not used to drinking it.

I prefer Beck's but I'll drink a Heineken here or there too. In fact I went to a BBQ the other evening and someone brought Coor Light. Not a big fan, but I drank it anyway and it worked as well.

I'm thinking the docs and scientists really should have a look at the properties of beer and find out what's the haps on that.

BTW, I have been taking Ginkgo for the past month too but have not noticed much difference. Supposedly it takes 90 days or so, so I keep taking it. If anything it's been helping me find my car keeys in the morning (kidding).

Yes, the Ginkgo and other supplements are tricky as requiring three months to work also means three months worth of product profit for the manufacturer, but it's worth a shot at least once.

Sparkles, just for clarity, by no means is beer any sort of cure or breakthrough, it just relieves the T slightly in the same way a hot shower or bath can also lower my volume just slightly. Now, a beer, in a hot tub, may be the trick. I, uh, might need to try that with russo sometime.. strictly for purposes of medical testing of course.

Anything I can do to contribute in the interest of science, SnowRider80!

But yes, all joking aside. Beer is not a cure, only my outlet to get some temporary relief from the T. And again, only two or three. No need to go overboard. It's still there, but it's not as loud and disrupting.

I know beer is not a cure its just a new thing on my list to give a try. relax and have a cold one!!!

...and how terrible could that be? Bust open a cold brew and chill while listening to crickets (in your head). Heck, might as well order a pizza too while you're at it. LOL!

BTW, just to note. One or two beers is one thing to reduce the loudness of my T. Four or more makes it louder (as I found out last night sitting on my patio with my mom and sis, gabbing into the wee hours...)!

I actually stumbled onto the beer thing, but discounted it - this forum confirms my experience. I started having a beer a night during my xanax withdrawal and noticed the next few hours until bedtime - it lowered and also my nervous system response lowered to it - like, "oh yeah, you..." but I thought "isn't beer alcoholic and supposed to kill my tinnitus?" I actually thought this every time I uncorked one for myself. I am going to get both kinds and during the daytime (with four kids what else can I do?) have the nonalcoholic and maybe a couple of nights (when the stress was really bad) have an alcoholic one - helps on getting sleepy. I am really glad I found this forum.
