Does Caffeine Affect Tinnitus?
We were interested to note that British researcher, Dr Lindsay St Claire and the Center for Hearing and Balance Studies at Bristol University have received a research grant for £55,000 or $110,000 to finally determine if caffeine does indeed affect tinnitus.
While we applaud further research into all aspects of tinnitus, we won’t hold our breath as to the outcome. For almost a decade we have written about the three major offenders of tinnitus: caffeine, salt, and alcohol. In fact certain "food" substances such as MSG and the sweetener Aspartame (think Equal and diet sodas) can be deleterious to tinnitus as well.
According to tinnitus authority and inner ear specialist, Michael Seidman, MD FACS, diet plays a major role in in affecting tinnitus levels. The old adage, "Your are what you eat" applies double to those living with tinnitus.
