Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?

Glad to read your remark, very similar to how I am re following research & diet. Bummed that diet is so much to blame. Sugar & salt are bad news. Oh to be younger & healthier & eat pizza again & not get a stomach from dessert but I still take my chances with desserts.
I've been told and believe gluten is a trigger for autoimmune such as Graves' but to eat gluten free is so expensive and difficult. Sometimes I try hard to obey all the dietary restrictions but at some point I just have to eat because I'm hungry! Best to be aware early in life & not going on 70 trying to reset.

While this is not totally relevant to tinnitus even though certain foods can trigger it, I try to eat as gluten free as I can. But, beware of the ingredients in gluten free products as so many have sugar in them. Just be sensible and go ahead and have pizza occasionally if you want. I opt not to have many white flour products in my house but , if I want pasta, I will have it and it’s in my pantry. As for dessert, I have a piece of dark chocolate every night after dinner come hell or high water and don’t even want to know if it’s a trigger.
I know that too much coffee for me triggers an increase in tinnitus so, food wise, I try to think if something I ate today maybe triggered an increase(aside from my beloved chocolate).
And, yeah, you don’t have the same metabolism as you did back in the day so adjustments are necessary as long as you don’t go overboard and take the joy out of living.
