Food for thought - ear ringing
I'm deaf in my left ear, and have some upper-midrange hearing loss in my right. Even though I have that hearing loss, my ears seldom ring.
However, I've noticed that my ears will ring a few hours after I eat certain foods. The foods I notice ringing afterward are sunflower seed butter and KIND Oat & Honey clusters.
The KIND clusters list the ingredients as: Whole grains (gluten free oats, brown rice, millet, gluten free oat flour, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa), evaporated cane juice, coconut, honey, canola oil, chicory root fiber, sesame seeds, molasses, sea salt, natural vitamin E.
The SunButter Natural sunflower seed spread lists the ingredients as: Sunflower seed, dehydrated cane syrup, salt, and natural mixed tocopherols to preserve freshness.
It appears that mixed tocopherols are types of vitamin E:

The two have similar ingredients: vitamin E, dehydrated cane juice (and cane syrup), salt and sea salt.
The Mayo Clinic lists several possible causes for tinnitus - most of which are physiological - and they say it's possible that a cause might not be found in some people.

They did, however, list a few medications that could cause tinnitus, which shows that some forms of tinnitus can be chemically-caused. Perhaps some forms of tinnitus can be cause by certain foods?
Have any of you experienced ear ringing after eating certain foods?

As a side note, while researching "mixed tocopherols" I stumbled on an article at the US National Library of Medicine that described a study that showed mixed tocopherols were "more potent in preventing platelet aggregation than alpha tocoperols." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12600864
Platelet aggregation is blood clotting. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003669.htm So, it looks like foods with mixed tocopherols could inhibit blood clotting.
