I have had the problem with tinitus also. I have found that caffein or rather too much caffein makes it much worse. Are you a coffee, tea or soft drink junkie? I'm currently up to way too many cups of coffee. About five years ago I had to give up caffein totally for about 2 years. That is when I noticed that the tinitus virtually went away. I swore that I would never get hooked on coffe again. Now it is back (the coffee and the tinitus) with a vengence.
What can I say I love my java.
