    I have it and sleep is not a factor, caffeine intake definitely is.

    Too many coffees or teas during a day and it gets super loud.

    I sleep amazingly well 8 hours week days and sometimes 10 on a weekend, but it is not any different if I have had only 5 hours sleep.

      I don’t think the article claims any correlation regarding that. They’re saying that during sleep it gets inhibited - which we don’t notice either way.

        I wasn’t sure because of these statements

        While many individuals with tinnitus report poor sleep and show poor sleep patterns, the potential connection to this crucial bodily function has only recently come to light.

        We could actually see these sleep problems appear at the same time as tinnitus after noise exposure.

        No sleep Correlation for me

          Same here, after a lifetime of living with it it’s not sleep. For me it seems to be correlated with inflammation in general.

    I was under the impression it has something to do with blood flow/pressure in the area.

      I’m sure that can change the aspect, but it is hearing damage as the underlying cause. Often loud workplaces, heavy machinery, but can also be audio toxic drugs, and viral.

      Yes. Everybody’s ears ring and hiss in all kinds of ways, but brains learn to tune it out. Sudden changes in the acoustics sometimes cause that to fail. Could be infections or trauma or chronic fatigue damage that causes it. Mostly it goes away, but if it’s bad enough it might not.

      I wouldn’t be surprised that it you’re just on the edge, even blood flow or muscle tension might push it towards on/off.
