Mmmmmmmm coffee.... I'm making some right now!

Oh, btw, it cause my Meniere's symptoms, including tinnitus to get a little worse. But it's worth the caffine to stay awake.

Hey John,

Coffee, wine, soft drinks. They all can potentially cause our T to spike a little but it's temporary and a very minor issue as I see it.

I wouldn't let T keep you from enjoying your morning coffee, your evening wine, or soft drinks when you want one. T is bad enough, don't sacrifice these wonderful, small pleasures anymore than you have to.

For me, wine makes my T spike significantly, much more so than coffee of Coke, but again, I've gotten over it and now enjoy wine to the fullest! Just as I always have. Don't deny yourself Coffee if it's something you enjoy.

On the other hand, I also enjoy rock concerts, but THAT has absolutely come to an end. I now avoid ANY music louder than my speaking voice at all cost.

So you have to pick and choose the changes you make.

Caffiene.. not a big deal.

Loud volume of anykind.. run!

I pretty much agree with snowrider. Though I've only been off caffeine (of all kinds -- coffee, tea, Pepsi) for a week or so, I don't notice any significant differences. I do notice a profound spike if I drink more than two glasses of wine, though.

And loud music? Absolutely stay away from it.

Heya John, i LOVE coffee, and am a coffee maker one day a week. I dont think its ever made my T worse, but then again i might not have T as severe as anyone else for me to notice. enjoy your morning coffee! or in my case....Coffee'S:)

Dont know but sure cant give it up - just like the red wine. Funny isnt it, if you think you shouldnt have something you still want it. I am like that with salt, know I am supposed to not have much, then I crave salty peanuts and crisps"

apparently drinking more tea/coffee is meant to make tinnitus worse, but personally it makes no difference to me.

Thanks for all your response...On reading these replies, and forgive me for being less than optomistic, it seems that coffee increases T as much as herbal remedies reduce T. I'd love to have someone disagee...I'm not a wine drinker though I do like a beer. For me, beer has no + or - effect on my T...

Mine is times worst when i drink caffine, I do want to give it up completely but i can't as i love my tea too much. I have cut down though. My tinnitus is always loud what ever i eat or drink?

i love coffee. i don't notice my t louder in am but if i have one in the evening i need headphones to sleep. my t is there if i drink coffee or not so bottoms up thanks paulstep

my stayed the same too.

better late than never....caffine is not an option for any being on this earth-it's a harmful drug,thc would be better[just kiddin] lay off the caffine!!!

I stopped drinking coffee and soda for one month and I didn't notice a difference. I think it only makes a difference with pulsatile tinnitus not constant tinnitus.

I can tell T is louder when I use caffine. But right now I have a sinus infection and my ears are feeling pressure and my TMJ is acting up. My ear T is been really loud for two weeks. 24/7 blah

Huge difference...but likely how it causes change to tinnitus is not know fully. My guess stuff like blood pressure or even the way t effect the nervous system contributes to the change in level of tinnitus
