Just a break from politics. My tinnitus unfortunately has been slightly increasing over the last few months. Still manageable but once in awhile bothersome.

Allen, please take a look at studies. Wikipedia might reference a few.

Usually, you can buy things cheaper yourself. But reference studies.

99.99% of OTC cures are scams.

My doctor told me to ignore the internet on this subject - there is no current cure - they are all just scams.

There is no cure for tinnitus - only coping ideas.

Anyone reading this without tinnitus - protect your ears, protect your children’s ears.

Tinnitus is one of the symptoms of CFIDS that I could do without. It comes and goes, and is a nuisance, but I deal with it because I don’t know how to “cure” it. To my knowledge, there is no “cure,” just remedies to ease it (maybe) that cost a fortune.

So I do empathize with you, and hope you’re able to find some peace. It sounds as if you could use it.

‘Face

I’ve had some success using Biotin (a B vitamin) the theory is it can help with hair growth, and part of the ear depends on tiny hairs. But you have to believe it will help (same with any supplement). My ringing is sporadic, not permanent, and very slight when I do have it. Long-time live music fan - nowadays I alway have ear protection when attending rock concerts!

Have you traveled to any Communist country recently? IE: Cuba, etc.
Might they have something to do with the increase if this milady?

Suggestions from talk radio host have been to take a magnesium supplement. DH has tried aa recommended ‘exercise’ which helps to some small degree. He suffers from time to time. For some unknown reason, at the moment he’s not complaining about it. Myself, no bell ringing, but do have a problem at times with hearing the pings of a submersed submarine.

I suffered from tinnitus for years. I found out that many people who use Xanax and z-drugs like Ambien often have ear ringing. I used Ambien for years and after stopping them it took about 6 months and I rarely have it now.

I have no idea if this will work for others but,,,

Among my ailments is low blood oxygen.
When the ringing gets intense I try to hyperventilate.
Most of my ailments have some connection to oxygen so it is possible that it is in reality just a placebo.
I don’t give a flying fornication, it works for me and I can afford it.

Please note, I have spent many years in equipment rooms filled with whirling fans.

YMMV

It's strange and coincidental that I was reading about Tinnitus 911 this morning before coming across this FR article. While reading the Tinnitus 911 sales pitch from their scam site, I tried to copy the string, 'Tinnitus 911' so I could past it to my browser's search engine to do research on the product's ingredients. Not surprisingly, the Tinnitus 911 site designers coded their website to prevent copying text from the site. Talk about extraordinary measures to prevent independent research.

In any case, I didn't bother researching ingredients because I found 8 reviews that all gave the product 1 star with comments generally and unanimously saying the product doesn't work and good luck trying to get a refund.

What's up with all these scam product/service sellers using the same type of format and content structure. There must be a template somewhere that these scammers titled, 'Template for selling scam products, books and services."

If you have not at least tried a high quality, well sourced fish oil, try it. I’ve heard it cure someone. Good examples of brands are Nordic Naturals and Carlson’s.

Life Extension has a detailed explanation of tinnitus and suggested therapies and nutritional protocols (Tinnitus). My experience with nutritional and herbal remedies is that they are like having a bag of keys, one of which will open a lock. You just have to keep trying, hoping that the bag holds a key that will work.

Tried a few “remedies” but the ringing seems to be a fact of life these days.
