It’s frustrating, I’ve been through that - hearing is fine, but tinnitus persists.
There’s no single recommended treatment studied by medicine so far. I’m not a doctor but I visited multiple doctors and tried many things, and I’m doing better now.
The obvious stuff:
- Stress management.
- Cut caffeine and alcohol. These substances affect blood flow of the inner ear.
- Do you have neck pain? Pain in the neck region affects the inner ear. Seek physiotherapy.
- Do you grind teeth or snore while sleeping? Seek TMJ disorder treatment.
Less obvious stuff:
- Supplement magnesium. Magnesium chelated is best. Most people are lacking it today, it is a muscle relaxant and also had an important effect to regulate blood flow.
- Ginko biloba tea or extract can help on headache and promotes blood flow on the brain as well. Must be consumed in small quantities as it has a strong blood thinner effect, so if you can get standardized capsules is best.
- B6/B12 rich diet or supplementation to help repair damaged nervous cells of the inner ear after infection.
The treatments are a mix of things that help repair the inner ear, promote blood flow and avoid pain signals in the area.
- trimbo 3y agoThanks for the ideas, I’ll check them out.
- criddell 3y agoCould you share the specific brand/dose for the magnesium and ginko that helped you?
- hcarvalhoalves 3y agoThe chelated magnesium I asked a local pharmacy to manipulate, but any reputable brand should work. The protocol is 300-400mg daily for 3 months. Toxicity is hard to achieve, the body will store Mg on the bones for when you need and the excess goes in urine, but drink plenty of water. Gingko look for the standardized extract Egb 761.
