Interesting. So, does Citric Acid help or hurt? Tinnitus started around mid-2014.
I believe that mono caused my tinnitus.
In my case, I started taking 1g Vitamin C (Emergen-C), daily for 2 months before GPA breakout ("first" flare up in July-2017). Also, I started taking 5mg of amitriptyline to sleep better.

Do you think EBV causes/triggers GPA?
