The analysis covered a wide range of foods, including carbohydrates, caffeine, eggs, fruits, fibre, fats, meat, proteins, sugars, fish, vegetables, and dairy.<\/p>\n
The combined results suggested that caffeine, fruit, dietary fibre and dairy products \u201cwere negatively associated with the incidence of tinnitus; that is, the higher the intake of caffeine, fruit, dietary fibre, and dairy products, the lower the prevalence of tinnitus\u201d, researchers concluded.<\/p>\n
These reductions were 35 per cent for fruit intake, nine per cent for dietary fibre, 17 per cent for dairy products, and 10 per cent for caffeine intake.<\/p>\n
However, the research team cautioned that the findings related to caffeine are contentious<\/p>\n
\u201cOur findings indicate that caffeine has a positive effect on tinnitus incidence,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome suggest that caffeine might effectively decrease tinnitus incidence, possibly because of its anxiety-reducing effects.<\/p>\n
\u201cConversely, some scholars argue that individuals with tinnitus often experience insomnia, in which caffeine consumption could worsen, thus exacerbating tinnitus.\u201d<\/p>\n
They added: \u201cEvidence suggests that consuming fruit, dietary fibre, caffeine and dairy may be associated with a reduced incidence of tinnitus.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe primary underlying mechanisms may involve the protective effects of these diets on blood vessels and nerves, as well as their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ralph Holme, Director of Research at the Royal National Institute for Deaf People (RNID), welcomed the findings but cautioned that those suffering from tinnitus should be wary of drawing conclusions from the results.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst we always welcome any new research to understand more about tinnitus, these results should be treated with caution as they do not tell us anything about causality i.e. these factors may simply be coincidental,\u201d Holme said.<\/p>\n
