Tinnitus and vaping

[Waine]

I'm just doing a snap survey on the possible connection between vaping and developing tinnitus. Your honest feedback will be appreciated.

Has anyone here developed tinnitus (loud, unexplained ringing / hissing in the ears) after they began vaping?

I developed tinnitus a few months after starting to vape, but I refuse to believe that it is vaping related. Why? — because I would not want to face this as a reality in my life, as I enjoy vaping so much.

Incidentally, there seems to be a world wide increase in tinnitus.

If you prefer to PM me, you are welcome.

I've had tinnitus since long before I started vaping. I don't think there is a connection.

I'm allergic to aspirin, so I never take any of those.

Nope. Nothing in 4 years of vaping.

I suffered before I started vaping. Have not noticed any change for better or worse since i started.

Nope not me. The only ringing I get in my ears is when my wife gets cross with me.

Like many of the others I had it before I started vaping. It hasn't affected it in anyway at all.

Ditto. Mine isn't from vaping or from disprin. It's from too much Van Halen on the headphones while growing up. I can't say it bothers me much but it's there.

Tinnitus is also a sign of aging....

Or when the wife wants to "communicate clearly and ensure that I understand her..."

could it not be a blood pressure related issue as well? Increased amounts of nicotine and increased blood pressure could be a possible cause... don't quote or flame me its just an idea on tangent

I blame standing right in front of the speakers during Barney Simon' s sets @ doors in edenvale.

If it's too loud, you're too old!

Same here. I don't think it's related to vaping.

I blame Desmond and the Tutus and standing in the front row...

After 40+ yrs.of playing in loud rock bands my hearing may have suffered somewhat though thankfully I've not developed tinnitus.This is the first I've heard of a connection between the affliction and vapeing,and IMO there is none.

Cheers guys! I read an article where a woman claimed to develop tinnitus from vaping. I didn't want to post the link . It happened to me. But I can only attribute it to coincidence. I just needed some input from my fellow vapers, and the response was awesome ! Thanks a ton.

I have heard of people who are sensitive to pg and because of that they experience weird side effects. That's maybe something to look into.

Hi @Waine

Just adding on to this thread

I believe tinnitus has been around a lot longer than "mainstream vaping" and has been suffered by many people before vaping. My late father had it about 15 years ago and wasnt a smoker or vaper.

My cousin got it recently and is also not a smoker or vaper. Her ENT specialist apparently conceded that in many cases doctors dont know how or why it is caused and it remains somewhat of a mystery.

It could have links with vaping, who knows, but it doesnt seem like vaping would be the main cause of it.

From Wiki:

Tinnitus is not a disease but a symptom that can result from a number of underlying causes. One of the most common causes is noise-induced hearing loss. Other causes include: ear infections, disease of the heart or blood vessels, Ménière's disease, brain tumors, emotional stress, exposure to certain medications, a previous head injury, and earwax. It is more common in those with depression... Prevention involves avoiding loud noise.

So, if you are a vaper experiencing tinnitus, avoiding those iPod earphones (or at least turning the volume way down) may be a better response than trying to look for/change anything in vaping.
