Marijuana Worsen Tinnitus

When you feel ringing in the ear without a source, then you might have symptom of tinnitus. There are many possible causes of tinnitus, the most common of which is exposure to loud noise, head or neck injuries, prescription and non-prescription drugs, allergies, Meniere's disease and stress. These are only few of the many possible causes of tinnitus and an estimated 50 million people in the United States alone suffer from this condition.

To date, there is still no specific cure for tinnitus, but various treatments already emerged in the market today. Many tinnitus sufferers have tried several strategies to deal with tinnitus both medical and natural remedies such as biofeedback, drug therapy, maskers, alternative treatments, surgical intervention or anything possible just to ease their suffering. There are also people who opt for natural treatment for tinnitus which includes diet, change of lifestyle and exercise which is proven effective to some extent.

Smoking marijuana worsens tinnitus. Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking. It is the major cause of lung cancer, heart attacks and stroke. Smoking affects the function of the immune system and may increase the risk for respiratory and other infections. It also narrows your blood vessels which supply vital oxygen to your ears and their sensory cells.

Sometimes, withdrawal from marijuana and nicotine is easier said than done but tinnitus will give you no option if you want to reduce the ringing in the ear. QUIT SMOKING, live healthy and tinnitus free!

This post is very misleading. I have suffered from noise-induced Tinnitus for about 10 years and Marijuana is one of the only things that help me get my mind off of it and cope.

Also, marijuana is absolutely not proven to cause lung cancer or any other smoke related diseases associated with cigarettes.

actually, incinerating nay substance and then inhaling the smoke is bad for you, so while Marijuana itself might not give you lung cancer, smoking marijuana is just as bad on the lungs and respiratory system as smoking anything else. VAPORIZE OR EAT IT!

Julius says, "It also narrows your blood vessels"

That goes to how you how much Julius doesn't know about marijuana.

It's true that smoking tobacco narrows your blood vessels. Marijuana does just the opposite, which results in lower blood pressure while under the influence. It (marijuana) does however slightly increase heart beat rate.

The only time I can remember my tinnitus going away is when I've smoked marijuana. (only 2-3 experiences with this in the past 4-5 years) I've come to believe it's primarily because I was extremely relaxed (muscles in face/jaw) and of course the altered perception. But the mere fact that I've been able to get rid of the ringing for a few hours makes me want to explore other ways to relax and lessen the tinnitus....

My experience has been that THC is about the only thing that alleviates my tinnitus. I have a bad case, I suspect it was brought on by years of running long distances with i-pods and walkmen, listening at unsafe volumes. I don't like to take smoke into my lungs but sometimes I do just to get some relief from the torture. en I

this blog post is so innacurate and misleading that it should be taken down completely.

the author has no idea what he/she is talking about and is making broad generalizations about smoking and drug use.

this sort of disinformation is completely irresponsible for us tinnitus suffers, obviously being posted in order to sell an alternative product.

Hello all. The myth that cannabis/marijuana doesent narrow your blood vessels is a common one. The facts are these. Cannabis/marijuana when burnt releases carbon monoxide(CO) the amount released compared with an average cigarette is less but it is still a worrying amount. Anything that is inhaled into the lungs then enters the blood stream. The CO then damages the surface of the blood vessels and arterial walls which then leads to the build up of plaque and fatty deposits thus increasing blood pressure and the strain on the heart over time. The single most researched drug on this planet is cannabis/marijuana I studied human biology for 3 years and went on to study physiology. If you want to use cannabis to help your tinnitus then simply cook with it or eat it raw. Smoking anything is very bad for your health. Take care.

Homeopathic remedies become so much popular in these days to cure tinnitus. Calcarea carbonica, Kali carbonicum not only helps in ringing but it also lessens the sound of roaring, itching and cracking in the ears. Many tinnitus sufferers find relief after trying yoga and hypnosis hope. Hypnosis hope convinces the body that symptoms are gone. Yoga work by relaxing the body and the spirit. A more relax spirit and body will lessen the symptoms of tinnitus. So you can say that it is the one of the good from tinnitus remedies.

Here's a bit of my background: I've only experienced very mild tinnitus in one ear at a time for a very short period of time only after being exposed to a very loud noise nearby. The ringing in my ear wouldn't last more than a couple hours. I smoke marijuana maybe once or twice a month at the most, and started a year ago. Never had a problem with my ears while smoking. The other day, i can truthfully say i've smoked the most potent stuff i've ever had. Now for three days in a row my left ear has experienced a bit of diminished hearing and has been ringing (Tinnitus) most of the time. The hearing is getting better now, but the ringing hasn't stopped. Anyone ever watch Katt Williams' standup? That weed most definitely caused MY Tinnitus.

Skip to 1:55 and i can relate to that. When he says "take two hits of this stuff and you won't hear shit!" its called Deaf! haha

But anyway, to go back on topic, any kind of smoke inhalation is probably not doing any good to the respiratory and auditory systems. I am not a physician or a doctor by any stretch, but i'm fairly certain the nasal passageways have paths connecting to the auditory system (think about exhaling while holding your nose). Therefore the marijuana smoke, especially when blowing it out of the nose, probably negatively affected my Cochlea, hence the Tinnitus!

!!FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!

QUIT SMOKING, live healthy and tinnitus free!

are you kidding me? the guy is ordering you to live tinnitus free, now how are we supposed to achieve that? the author of this article has some serious brain damage.

tonegalli said...

yeah I do get tinnitus with pot but it's not that bad. the article would be more helpful if it explained whether this could effect you long-term. i use marijuana pretty infrequently so it's not as if the amount of tinnitus in those rare moments is much of a bother, especially when I'm not in total silence which is really the only time I would notice it...

Marijuana smokin' relieves stress. Stress is one of the factors causing tinnitus.

richgirl69 said...

Although I disagree with the author of this post, I suffer from tinnitus and it most definitely gets worse when I injest in any form, THC. I am a medical marijuana patient and use THC in all forms. it does make my ear ringing way worse than when I don't use it. Does anyone know why it would help some people but not me??

CURE TO TINNITUS,. One night in October last two year, when I lay down to sleep, I heard this high pitched noise coming from my left ear.I did not pay that much attention and went to sleep. The following morning, it was gone. Then again, after one month since the first experience it came back, and this time it came to stay. It was a pretty high pitched noise, and only in my left ear. After 2 days, I went to see an ENT. He said that my left ear was full of wax and need to be cleaned. Actually he did a good job by cleaning both my ears but some hardly stuck wax was still in my left ear. He gave me ear drops. I went home and used ear drops as per his instructions. After two weeks, I revisited him again. He told me that my ears were clean and not to worry about Tinnitus, and reassured to me that it would go away after 2~ 3 week time. The Tinnitus was always there 24/7. In the 4th week I started to panic and then anxiety, depression and fear kicked in and started to have sleepless nights. I was sleepless for 3 straight nights. My wife was also started to worry about me but there was nothing she could do to help me.Then, I started to google about Tinnitus. I read about how Dr john product cure a woman who had tinnitus.i email dr john and i get the product which i use my tinnitus is cure. THANKS TO DR JOHN for more information email him on johnewoig18@gmail.com

Arnold Pierre said...

Dr Williams,his medicine was extremely helpful to me. I have had tinnitus for 7 years now , and my doctor told me to have a tinnitus sugary . I am so glad I have found Dr Williams medicine (as I was surfing the net for a solution and saw a recommendation for it on a women's health forum early this year). I have felt so empowered by the knowledge you have given me and I quickly self diagnosed the individual cause of my tinnitus and armed with your clear instructions, I was finally able to beat this monster, in less than 4 weeks of using dr Williams medication. 9 weeks before the tinnitus surgery was due, I asked for a scan and it was clear that my tinnitus were gone,you can also email him on drwilliams098675@gmail.com for help.

Thank you, thank you , thank you. dr williams "

I had T for almost a year now. I didnt have any problems smoking weed during this time. However, in the past 2 weeks Ive noticed some intense ringing each time Ive smoked the ganja. The intensity of the ringing is triggering anxiety each day and leading me to the choice of quitting. I loved weed. Tragic to experience loss of such a habbit.

COMPLETE CURE TO TINNITUS: I had tinnitus in both ears for fifteen years with a high pitched two tone sound, the noises are constant and have learned to ignore the ringing. Later, another sound was added, a deep tone that has a sporadic rhythm, that mimics human speech. It varies from soft and muted, to painfully clear, and loud. Have try sound machines, ear plugs, my hearing aid, and medication all to no avail rather I have a difficult time sleeping. Lately I was directed to a Doctor called William on internet who provided solution to the problem. Do not be discourage, dr williams product is a permanent cure to Tinnitus.
