I've had tinittutis (SP) for years. It varies for me depending on what I eat. If I stay strictly on my gluten free diet it is not bad at all. If I accidently eat something that my body dosen't like then it flares up. That doesn't happen often as I am pretty darn careful about my diet because I don't like the pain that I get otherwise (celiac disease). Tinittus is a problem that some celiacs get. The theory is that it is caused by nerve damage due to mal-absorption of nutrients like B-12 etc.
