Caffeine free for 2 weeks hasn't killed me.
But it has made my tinnitus much more tolerable!
Two weeks ago, my otoneurologist recommended I cut caffeine out of my diet in an attempt to lesson my tinnitus symptoms. As a daily all-day consumer of yerba mate and someone trying to watch his weight, this news was met with some scorn.
But hey, if I can live for a month on 1500 calories a day worth of beer and sausage, I can handle this!
The results? The high-pitched 7500 Hz whine I hear has faded to the background. Oh, it's still there and will be staying with me. But at a much more manageable level.
Now I'm trying to decide if I want to add it back to my diet or not. I do miss the ritual of mate and coffee. That, and my gourd and my aeropress are looking kinda lonely.
