Hello, everyone! New member here. I need some help from the community about my situation. Does anyone know if tinnitus from vaping resolves on its own, if you stop? It’s hard for me to sleep and concentrate during the day. Please let me know.

I would suck and exhale on a nebulizer or a scuba regulator too, but I don't consider them to be similar to smoking. The only similarities between smoking and vaping are that they both deliver inhaled nicotine. Granted early e-cigs were designed to look like analogs, but that fell out of favor quickly. It would be hard to find one resembling an analog now. Even the gas station brands like juul are different.
Nicotine can reduce blood flow to the inner ear, potentially damaging the auditory system and contributing to tinnitus. Additionally, stress and anxiety, which can be exacerbated by nicotine, are also known tinnitus triggers.
That tinnitis might even be possible seems weird and unlikely to me personally. I suppose it might be outside possible if you have a vape with a really tight draw. The problem though is something like a stuffy nose would cause it too then and it doesn’t. Vaping is basically breathing. There would be aphorisms about doing things like trying to cure hiccups etc.. Occam’s razor says it’s much more likely that you got it from some sort of sonic disturbance and merely didn’t notice it.
I got an Apple Watch that checks for loud noises, and the warning has gone off several times when i had thought myself totally safe. The last time i was using a cordless electric drill.

I've had tinnitus ever since I shot a large bore rifle without any ear plugs. That was 35 or 40 yrs ago. Oh, and a Ted Nugent concert.
"Experts say..."
I'm fairly certain that vaping has made me older. I can definitively prove that, since I began vaping, I've aged exactly 365.2425 days each year.
This has been a long-term study, over a course of almost 14 years.
Given the fact that I've definitely aged that much, and I've been vaping the entire time, the only rational conclusion is that this period's aging was caused by vaping.
Trust The Science.

I’ve seen a few people mention ringing after switching to vaping, but it doesn’t seem very common. Since you already stopped, the best test is to give it some time and see if it improves. If not, it might not be vaping-related at all.
My understanding is that the way the inner ear works it’s a coiled tube with thousands of tiny hollow towers in it with doors on the tops and strings on them like a harp. The strings occasionally snap. When they do the door stick open. You hear a single very pure tone for a few seconds and it gradually fades out. And that particular tone will never be heard again. Tinnitus is when you don’t stop hearing the tone.
The ear canal and the mouth ARE connected but they’re connected to the middle ear. The inner ear remains sealed away behind the ear drum.
Nicotine IS psychoactive, so it could affect the brain somehow, but the same thing would happen to smokers and I’ve NEVER personally heard of this being associated with smoking of any kind at all ever.
The site does have references but they're mostly nearly 10 years old. That’s the thing about a site this old. Just about every ailment on earth has been accused. “Vaping is causing my [X]” has been done for just about everything. Possibly including pregnancy, though I haven’t heard of that one either.
Theres astounding amounts of BS created by cigarette companies (yes they still hate vaping. They have since the beginning and they’ve never stopped even though they claim it because they’re STILL PRODUCING anti vaping stuff. They feel they have the right to hold a monopoly and have said so. Here.) which is handed to anti-smoking advocates (yes, this means the anti-smoking advocates are effectively working FOR the cigarette companies) and this may possibly be just more of that in action. I suspect that the tinnitus is associated with vaping approaches zero.
I’m not sure if the OP is a BSee or a BSer, but BS is involved.

I have tinnitus. I'm fairly sure I got it from grinding my teeth each time I tried to quit smoking before vaping became a thing. The grinding and tinnitus got so much worse each time I had to listen to the antis panic-lecturing me about quitting for the 5,000,000,001 time.
I've had it for a long time and hade it before I ever started vaping. Tried all kinds of cures. I had a noisy job for awhile and loud music in my earlier days. I think age has a lot to do with it. All I do is try to put it out of my mind by thinking about something else. It never goes away buy you get used to it and if you don't think about it it's like it goes away.
