I love vaping, but can't stand the ringing...

Crazy. You learn something every day! I had no idea that vaping had anything to do with tinnitus.

I have had tinnitus forever, but due to standing in front of huge bass amps for years on stage, not vaping.
There isn't any scientific proof yet, but there are several anecdotal cases. Maybe there will be more studies done in the near future. For me, I'm not entirely sure what it is....woke up with a few sensitive sharp pains today. :(

Very strange. I will have to start paying attention to my VG/PG blends to see if it makes any difference....

"The only reason I don't think its nicotine related is because prior to vaping, I was a heavy cigarette smoker..."

I'd speculate they were "Lights" (low nicotine).
And what do you consider a heavy smoker? Two packs a day?
I'd also speculate less than a pack a day.
I'd smoke at least a pack a day. Marlboro Menthol Black. Never really liked lights. Started vaping 3-6mg nicotine. Never bought juice above 6mg.

Haha lol that's fine. And if for any reason I don't go, it's bc the problem ends resolving itself while I wait, but yeah the soonest I can see someone is like August 31st because they're a new employee..I actually wanted to see someone else with more experience but they're all booked until Oct-Nov! I was like jeez lol but yes, I will update what happens, and if I am able to figure out what's causing it, I'd definitely would want other people to know in case they may be experiencing the same symptoms, vape related or not.

My wife started getting tinnitus recently and she has never vaped or smoked.
Someone suggested dark chocolate and she says it works for her.

When she gets home I'll check and see where that suggestion came from.
Dark chocolate?? Omg that's hilarious because I've been eating a lot of dark chocolate recently. Does it just alleviate the ringing or has it stopped completely?

I talked the wife last night and it turns out she doesn't have tinnitus.
She has something different which is more like a banging rather than a ringing.

Anyway, she says the dark chocolate helps that.
Sorry that it doesn't seem to help with the ringing though.
:(
