Well, mine has. I've been losing it little by little over the ...

Can't say that it has improved (which it would if you've cleared congestion from your sinuses) but my ears have been ringing a lot lately.

Yes, my hearing has improved also. I occurred damage to my inner left ear about 10 yrs. ago from a bad ear infection.
My hearing always got worse when I got a sick, or when allergy season came.
Now that I vape, my sinuses are clearer, and my hearing has improved quite a bit also.

No. In fact, extra nicotine narrows the blood vessels serving the ear and can significantly worsen tinnitus (ringing in the ears). When I overload on nic, I can hear my own pulse beats from arteries passing near the ears. Nicotine is not a friend of hearing, or vision, which is also diminished from decreased blood flow.
To improve hearing, sight and smell, cut out nicotine, don't just change the source of it.

I have to say that I think my hearing has also improved a bit - just wonder if the constant smokers cough had anything to do with the original problem?
Rare that I cough at all these days thank goodness.....

I don't use too much nicotine anymore so maybe that is part of the reason. Whatever, I'm happy about it.

Luckily industrial equipment and too many 45 ACP rounds have taken care of my hearing long ago. Smell has improved because sinus problems have completely disappeared. My sight is perfectly normal. So, I guess I am lucky in that respect.

I tortured my ears as a teen listening to loud music. Now I pay with non-stop tinnitus. An article yesterday said the EC is going to require MP3 player makers to lower the default volume level, put warning labels on the devices and require some kind of notification warning if a foolish or ignorant user cranks up the volume.
Believe me that is is indeed play today and pay tomorrow. Tomorrow will come. Regret won't silence tinnitus.

I have bad tinnitus also. Most of the time I am able to put it in the back of my mind. But when things get quiet it seems to roar. We do pay for things we did in our youth.

Although true for your condition, not for mine.
No doubt my improvement is from no more smoke, which lead to sinus conditions, and issues in my Eustachian tube.
