Hello @willows

As I've dealt with tinnitus for a number of years I was intrigued by your post. I've never heard about the connection between wintergreen oil and tinnitus. I did some research and did find this article on WebMD. Here is the link, https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-783/wintergreen.
Please read the article. It does state that, "Wintergreen oil is POSSIBLY UNSAFE to take by mouth. Taking wintergreen oil can cause ringing in the ears, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, stomach pain, and confusion. "

I would encourage you to read information from The American Tinnitus Association. Here is a link to their website, https://www.ata.org/understanding-facts.

Also, Mayo Clinic has some reliable information about tinnitus, here is a link to that information, https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tinnitus/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20350162.

Willows, have you personally experienced worsening tinnitus when you have had wintergreen flavored food items or wintergreen oil? How often do you consume these products?
