Salt is a necessity in life and the modern diet contains way too much salt, hidden in most processed and pre-packaged foods. Some seemingly healthy food can hold a sodium surprise, like serving a canned soup can have more salt compared to a bag of potato chips.

To stop tinnitus avoid sugar. When you eat sugar, your blood sugar rises, then it falls. When it falls the temporary lack of glucose to the ears, causing tinnitus. It can worsen tinnitus by causing an drenalin release, causing vasoconstriction in the inner ear. It can have the same effect too much caffeine.

Avoid switching to artificial sweeteners.They can be even worse for tinnitus than sugar. The worst is aspartame which is found in many diet foods including diet soda, goes by the name NutraSweet known as the “blue stuff”.

Monosodium Glutamate, also known as MSG, the last thing to avoid for tinnitus. It breaks down to glutamate in the body, acting much like aspartame, an excitatory neuro-transmitter causing tinnitus.
MSG can be found in hydrolyzed vegetable protein, vegetable or plant protein, natural flavoring. It doesn’t have to be added to the label as an ingredient, another reason to avoid processed and pre-packaged food as much as possible for tinnitus relief.

Hearing MSG, you may think of Chinese food or even “Chinese Restaurant Syndrome” where people develop headaches, break out in a sweat, and get flushed because of the high levels of MSG in some Chinese food.
