Red wine and Tinnitus!

I stopped drinking red wine (it took 7 -days ) and then only drinking white wine has really helped my T. I think it could be the tannings in red wine, and red wine being stronger makes red wine have more effect.

I note / read many say wine / alcohol make T worse. For me (and I read many others) it helps. However, wine in moderation.

interesting! I tend to drink white whine in the summer and red in the winter - though never more than my fourteen units a week. Unless I’m on holiday …….

And if and when I take two or three days off, or drink more, or white rather than red - no difference!

I visited a private hearing consultant (at cost) who made many recommendations in relation to alcohol/caffeine/gluten/lactose/diet - and to be honest none made any difference to me - but there then again my issue is hearing loss (they knew this) - although I found that making these changes didn't have any impacts on T with hearing aids out. Glad you've found some respite though.

I have always found that alcohol tends to reduce my tinnitus, although I am by no means a 'drinker'. The effect is fairly short-lived though. Alcohol seems to work differently for different people re tinnitus.

No food or drink affects my tinnitus as far as I’m aware.

That’s true! Because the red wine raises blood pressure and T is intensified. I avoid drinking red wine în the evenings.

Good health!

Can't say any food or drink makes any difference to me. Wish it were that simple though!
