Cannabis helps me sleep, and it helps me calm my mind. However, it does nothing to alleviate my tinnitus.

Mine is much more prominent when I smoke up

Thankfully, mine isn't. It just stays on the same level, volume wise, though it might shift pitch compared to how baked I am.

Different note in each ear. One significantly higher in pitch than the other. It reminds me of the noise an old tube powered tv would make just after switching it on.

This but at a deafening volume if I have no background sounds around me.

Same here. I can’t even hear the tv anymore. I also can’t tell when the AC/heater fan in my house is blowing.

Exactly how I describe my tinnitus. If there is room noise it is not noticeable but in a quiet room, almost unbearable.

Stays the same for me too but after a smoke I don't care so much.

That's how it works for pain relief too I have found. I will sit there and be like "huh if I focus it still hurts but if I don't think about it..." you can kinda just tune it out

Mine is as well. My mind tries to make sense of the noise and it makes me anxious also.

Mine gets so loud after smoking that it makes me want to step in front of a train. I go through this feeling every single night. I’m legally deaf too so maybe that has something to do with it. I probably wouldn’t hear the train coming anyway.

Hmmm maybe there's a correlation between weed smoking and regular concert goers

There is almost certainly a correlation between cannabis smokers and people that regularly attend live music/play live music/listen to music at high volumes

Have you seen the line at a dispensary these days? It's all types. Tinnitus is common in the trades too and

I’m not saying most cannabis smokers are musicians/music lovers, only that I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a higher percentage of stoners in the music scene than the general population - which would draw a line between cannabis consumption and tinnitus

It can help push it to the background, especially at bedtime.

İ find similar relief with 1 mg melatonin btw.

How do you smoke melatonin??

You have to boil it and then you free base it or do hot rails.

Check your B12 consumption and other symptoms like extremeties buzzing or your tongue being slightly swollen/smoothish. Just in case: it could be that you've not been eating quite enough, or conversely, drinking too much alcohol.

Same. It might make me a little less bothered by the tinnitus, but I've never noticed that it makes a difference either way.

I haven't tried it nor do I know what it does physically but if it's just dulling your senses then that is not really something that helps with anything beyond being high.

You don't actually hear tinnitus. Your senses being dulled have no effect on your ability to hear it. Your brain tells you that you are hearing things, without input from your ear.

That's interesting. I do have it too but it got manageable after some time. If I am in dead silence the ringing is there.
