ole gray Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Being an old vietnam vet I've had to deal with ringing in my ears for years. War is hell on the ears with gun fire and loud explosions to deal with on a constant basis. Some days my tinnitus is worse than others. It spikes and at times the ringing noise in my head is overwhelming. I just heard recently that magnesium helps so I'm going to check with my doc to see if she can recommend a daily dose. I'm pretty sure hard liquor causes mine to spike and beer actually helps to soothe the ring. Not sure why one seems to help and the other aggravates it. I had some bourbon a couple days ago and the ringing spiked up to a 7 out of 10 type range. I'm trying to keep a mental note of foods etc. that cause spikes. The good news is golf is great for tinnitus as the time I spend on the course helps me forget the ringing. Also my four days per week at the gym is another time where my focus on exercise helps a ton. Anyone else living with this and if so how do you deal with it?

Shankster Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm with you here OG. I've found that caffeine is the number 1 issue I have.

ddryan Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 YEP- for exactly the same reasons- never wore earplugs, as I was the one who was supposed to be in charge, and if I cant hear what is going on, then how could I make decisions and lead... Couple that with lots of time in helicopters (amazing how they could always manage to fly us to where we were going, but never back again!!) and other various noisy aircraft, etc. Two Combat tours in Iraq didn't help, either, but I am sure it was the combined effect of loud noises over 30 years that left me with my tinnitus. Interestingly, it is not ringing, per se, but rather like static- as if the television is on, but there is no signal on the channel and all you see is the "snow" -and hear that static buzz. I find that keeping hydrated (lots of water - pardon the description, but if your pee is yellow, you are dehydrated) helps a lot. Also, when I am tired or overworked it tends to be more bothersome. Personally, alcohol doesn't seem to bother it save for the fact that alcohol is a diuretic, and therefore you may end up dehydrated... Not sure about the magnesium as a treatment, but I will ask HH6 - she is a pharmacist and also suffers from tinnitus, more from loud music in headphones from her youth, but effect is the same. Will let you know what she says... Rickp, tommc23 and ole gray 3 Quote What's in the bag?

tommc23 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I hate the noise I only get it in one ear not the other. This is one of the reasons I spent money on custom molded hearing amplification for dog training, then my dog ate them. I think mine is from all the gun fire, loud concerts, kick boxing and getting hit in the head playing hockey. Sometimes I get it worse than others and when it's bad it truly hurts.

tony@CIC Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have it in both ears - just learned to live with it. Some days better than other.

bobcat Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I suffered from Meniere's disease when I was younger and lost 90% of the hearing in my left ear. I have had tinnitus ever since but at least the severe vertigo and nausea subsided, although I still experience an occasional return of those conditions...happens a few times every year. The 'screaming noise' in my ear definitely spikes at times, (as others have mentioned), but I have given up trying to manage it by limiting salt, caffeine etc. I just try to block it out mentally which I acknowledge is very difficult when you are trying to go to sleep with no sound other than that constant 'scream' in my left ear. Tinnitus is a nuisance for sure, but there are far worse things that other people out there have to deal with, so when I put it into that sort of perspective I actually consider myself very lucky. I've learned to live with it and simply refuse to allow myself to dwell on it much, for if I did, it could drive me stark-raving crazy... tommc23, Rickp, ole gray and 1 other 4 Quote What's in Bobcat's Bag?

Not sure if you are a coffee/tea/soda drinker, but I cut back and mine isn't so bad. Still annoying. As a rule, I drink on cup of joe in the morning. On rare occasions I may have a second cup of the decaf stuff in the evening. I'm pretty sure my tinnitus is coming from very loud sound exposure which damaged some nerves in the ear or brain area. Unless those nerves have a way to heal I'm probably screwed unless a miracle cure is discovered.

Headhammer Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I've had it for about 5 years. Most of the time its not that big an issue, but when it gets quiet I really notice it. There are times where I get a spike and the volume level goes way up, but it only lasts for a few seconds. My doctor suggested keeping a radio on during the day and a white noise machine in my bedroom at night. The noise machine has been a huge help when the house gets quiet at night and I'm trying to fall asleep. There is no cure for it I'm afraid and all those OTC products claiming that they do have never shown any clinical benefit. I've never heard that foods can exacerbate the condition, but if it works for you to avoid them that's great. I am never giving up my 2-cups of coffee in the morning, no way, no how! ddryan, silver & black, Rickp and 2 others 5 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfriday101 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I get it in my left ear. I don't have it all the time--a loud noise will set it off. Unfortunately, occasionally the sound of a drive will set it off. I'll walk off the tee with my ear ringing, but I know I had good contact. It was worse with my old driver. I switched to new driver with a more muted sound at impact and it hasn't been as big a problem. ole gray and ddryan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchplay66 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hey ole grey, I too have suffered from tinnitus in both ears now for about 20 years. It started in the right and made its way over to the left. Caffeine makes it so much worse. I have had some success with Ginkgo Biloba in the past. Do you get dizzy with it? If so, I have found that meclizine has done wonders for me. I used to get dizzy over putts and man that makes putting almost impossible when a person cant find their balance. I am not sure if the meclizine helps with the ringing to much but I know that I have felt much better since I started taking on 25mg in the morning and one at night. Good luck, all we can do is own it and deal with it like many others do with much more serious issues. ole gray and ddryan 2 Quote Sticks: Titleist 915D3 8.5 Graffaloy Pro Launch Red 65X Titleist 915F Aldila NV 95 S Flex 3 Wood Titleist 915H Aldila NV 105 S Flex 21 degree hybrid Mizuno MP69 Dynamic Gold S300 Standard Length 2 up 3-PW Cleveland RTX 54, Titleist SM4 48, Mizuno MP-T4 58 Odyssey 2 ball cs Superstroke 3.0 slim Callaway Chrome Soft (2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him to take another and see if he could do any better, because I was still standing...lol. He took 2 more swings and the third one broke my left ear drum. That healed, but I have severe ringing in that ear that never stops. It sucks, but what are ya gonna do?
