Hearing/Tinnitus FYI (caveat emptor)

      Any chance that, "increased ringing" could be related to, or magnified by, something you've eaten, along with the, "rare occasion" spicy foods?

      Food allergies can cause a wide variety of symptoms and prove hard to pinpoint, without a bit of detective work.

@fuzztone -

                                                Absolutely!

     As with anything else, in this life/hobby; the variables are manifold.

                    

                       Everyone reacts to medications differently

                                           The same for foods.

I must have top grade tinnitus-it's just on  all the time.
