I have been suffering from noise induced Tinnitus for over 10 years. Lately I noticed that after having a few pints
of beer at the pup lunchtime, my Tinnitus seemed to increase in volume.
Immediately I thought alcohol was responsible so I gave up my lunchtime beer and noticed an improvement after
a few days.
Then I decided to experiment and started drinking the equivalent amount of beer intake in pure tap water, and to
my surprise the Tinnitus volume increased once again.
I put two and two together and realized that excessive liquid intake was my problem. Next day I had no liquid intake
at all and within 24 hours I saw a noticeable improvement.
I intend to reduce my beer and water intake ,staying of course within safe limits, and hope the reduction will be permanent.
Has anybody else had a similar experience?

Hi Tony,
Welcome to the forum.
Your experience is quite unusual. For most people the intake of more (non-alcoholic) fluids is beneficial whereas dehydration on the other hand causes problems (for this reason tinnitus is also known as the 'dry ear' condition).
