There are some good white/brown noise generators to listen to while on the computer.

I have Tinnitus anyways but I don't think it's gotten worse since I started vaping. I smoked for about 9 years PAD and it could be from that. I do know that a lot of things can cause it but I don't think vaping too much will. Maybe because of the dehydration but not the nic itself. I just ignore it most of the time anyways. I always have my TV on and that usually drowns out the ringing.
Hearing aids cure it for me. Even without loss, some people have them to mask the tinnitus. Much less expensive to learn to ignore it, though.
I've had tinnitus for a few years. Chain smoking seemed to make it more noticeable. Vaping I'm not sure. Over the year I have cut my nic from 24 to 18 to 12 and it is the same.
I woke up the other day with really loud tinnitus and I hadn't had caffeine or nicotine or anything for over 6 hours. shrug

It's not from nicotine overdose, yes smokers get it but there are many causes that bring on tinnitus.

I've had Tinnitus for years, and I can't really say I've noticed any changes since I started vaping. It's not bad as long as there's some kind of noise going on. At night I have to sleep with some kind of white noise, or the ringing will drive me nuts.
Tinnitus is very real and highly exacerbated by any kind of smoking...or "vaping" but at least nicotine is not addictive
I attribute mine to the pressure created in the sinus areas from constantly vaping on gear with a tight draw. Now that my gear provides more vapor with less effort and my nic is high enough to allow me to put it down more often, the symptoms are alleviated.

Interesting... I have much drier sinuses since I started vaping and have to rinse them on occasion, else I stay congested through the day. I might try rinsing more often to see if it makes a difference, but my tinnitus has been very low for about a decade now.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I can see how a tighter draw would cause a vacuum effect on the ear drums via the inner ear labyrinth..eustacion ? Sort of the reverse of the pressure differential people feel ascending to high altitudes.
IE: A nice open draw dripper would get the vape without the ear vacuum one might have using something much tighter like a russian
Eustachian tube, tympanic membrane... whatever it is, that's about the right area I could feel the pressure when tinnitus was keeping me up.
And yes, my kayfun (or a russian) was one of the culprits.
Torch; I find that regular rinses with mouthwash really helps to keep the throat clean and wash away the coating (from vaping). This allows the sinuses to make mucus and use it more efficiently. Then again, being a truck driver doesn't allow me to brush immediately after every meal or snack. So that may have a lot to do with it.
There's one mouthwash that has a history of being suggested here. I use and like cepacol. It's always been good to me after procedures, peircings, etc..

Tight draw induced tinnitus only makes sense if you're a direct lung inhaler. I do mouth-to-lung and I still breathe while pulling on my PV. Then again, vaping has not made any difference in my very mild tinnitus.
I definitely will try mouth was teice a day rather than once. I do cough up what looks like PG/VG coating in the morning. And, cepacol: I'll have to keep an eye out next time I'm at the store. I prefer 100% natural mouth wash, but if it solves another problem, why not.
I've never noticed, but then again I've been playing in bands since like 1991, and let me tell you playing in front of a 100 watt Marshall with 8x12" speakers definitely leaves a lasting impression.. 
I have had tinnitus in the past, for short periods of time. I did not have any when I started vaping a little over a month ago. Now I have got it. It started 3-4 days ago. I have been vaping a lot. I use mostly 12mg of nicotine, and that is it. Right after I started vaping, I got sick. Sore throat, allergies, upper respiratory problem, swollen glands....but I've been over that a few days now. I have not had any other symptoms of too much nicotine, if this is what it is. When I quit smoking I smoked mainly 1/2 pack a day of light cigarettes. Now I vape like a fiend. I have increased the amount of water I am drinking, to see if that would help. I know my blood pressure is not high, it has come down since I quit smoking. If anything it is pretty low, not high. I will watch this thread with interest, to see what others have to say. I appreciate the comments thus far. This morning I have barely vaped anything, and it hasn't helped the tinnitus at all.
As most of us have figured out the nicotine in vaping really stays with you a lot longer than it did with cigarettes. I know that with benzodiazepines (eg valium) each variation (eg lorazepam) has a different half-life.
I wonder how long the effects of an intense vaping session linger and whether or not that (half-life) might explain some of this.
For me, getting used to a smaller, cooler, less vapor-intensive device seems to have solved all of my dry-mouth, insomnia issues.

Oh, I forgot to mention: I also dropped my VG from 50 to 30 and upped my nic from 6 to 12 (Less desire to overvape).
Well, I went from cool short vapes for 3+ yrs to these multi puff 10sec pulls from this darn Istick I can't put down- and haven't noticed any difference in my Tin or sleep patterns yet.
