my tinnitus gets worse if there is more fluid behind either of my eardrums and can fluctuate in severity on either side/ear. I'm on an extreme low salt diet to keep the fluid down from my inner ear canals, hard to believe salt intake can affect fluid retention there but it does. I take bioflavinoids but haven't noticed that they help, but they can't hurt, if that makes sense. if your tinnitus isn't just neurological, have you had someone check to see if you have any fluid buildup?
