How much tinnitus is related to caffeine?
.................................................................................... First, we need to know tinnitus; it is a condition for perceiving noise in the ears that makes it difficult to function normally. It can be caused by several reasons: exposure to loud noise, head or neck injury, a virus or taking ototoxic medications. It is associated with increased irritability, stress and depression. There is much debate over caffeine connection to tinnitus; if it can worsen or alleviate tinnitus symptoms. As for caffeine, it is a vasoconstrictor in the brain and a vasodilator in the muscles. A recent study reveals that women consuming more caffeine are less liable to tinnitus. The research team discovered that the more caffeine women consume, the less they are among tinnitus cases, which means a significant inverse association between tinnitus occurrence and caffeine intake. While the reason behind this revelation is unclear, a previous research suggested that caffeine has a direct impact on the inner ear as well as the central nervous system.
