My personal albeit anecdotal evidence is that certain foods, or possibly too much sodium, can cause tinnitus. When I have tinnitus I drink a lot of water and reduce my sodium intake - I think that acesulfame postassium (NutraSweet) can cause it for me as well.

It recently has been shown that glucocorticoids not only influence inflammatory process in Ménière’s disease, but also alter fluid dynamics via an interaction with the sodium pumps in the semicircular canals (Ponduglula et al 2004). Intra-tympanic application of corticosteroids appears to have only temporary effects (Dodson 2004) and is probably not recommended"
