When I first got tinnitus, I was able to get off of caffeine completely.  After a couple of years, I have fallen off the wagon so to speak and now drink some half decaf/half regular coffee in the morning.  Being tired a lot, it really helps to get some caffeine.  However, my tinnitus level definitely does increase with caffeine use.  I may have to stop again and the increased tinnitus does bother me sometimes.  I wonder why caffeine increases tinnitus.  Anyone know?

Please do post the information that you get on this study.  I would like to hear about what it finds.  Thanks.
