Does anyone have ringing in the ears (tinnitis) believed to be from neuropathy? I had neuropathy pain in my feet and other areas for about 7 years before the ringing started. I suspect it may have been caused by my consuming large quantities of Altoids gum containing aspartame, since I got a great deal and bought 20 tins of it. I don't have any proof it was the aspartame of course but the ringing started about this time and I have read of others who believe theirs was caused by aspartame.

I listen to talk radio (actually podcasts) in my car about 1 hr per day and turn it up loud enough to hear everyone, which seems to aggravate the ringing. And listening to music especially aggravates it. It is worse in left ear than right.

Any suggestions on what I can do about this? Any supplement ideas? I don't have any trouble with hearing things, I don't believe. Huh? I am a 41-year-old male. Thanks for any suggestions.
