Strangely enough, aspirin REALLY makes mine worse. Sometimes it's a choice between you head hurting or your ears ringing.
Oh and for those that may be reading this that don't have tinnitus, remember it is typically a delayed curse. I don't expose my ears to really loud noises, and haven't for over 30 years. But in my youth - hot-rods with open headers, firing guns without hearing protection, all manner of aircraft, sometimes without hearing protection. Or as my doctor says, “yes, you may be kind to your ears now, but sooner or later the sins must be paid for - and that is now.”

It works ONLY if the source of the tinnitus is in the middle ear. If it’s in the brain side, it will still be there..........

Aspirin and other NSAIDS have been know for years to cause or exacerbate tinnitus and if taken in large doses over a prolonged period will be permanent........

Unless he was wearing ear plugs, the report from the gun to his head would (briefly) cause ‘screaming in his ears’.

If I had only stayed home and not gone to that Oingo Boingo Halloween concert. We were too close to the stage.

Shotguns are not banned, handguns yes.

Evidently Lipoflavonoids is a proprietary name.
Citrus bioflavonoid complex is the same thing and much cheaper.

My daughter asked me if I could get rid of my tinnitus by cutting the auditory nerve in my bad ear. I told her if I thought it would work I would do it. IMO, being stone deaf in one ear would be a good trade. I wonder if a shot of Botox to the nerve would have the same effect, but allow hearing to recover over time? (Or even Novocaine?)

A couple months ago there was a thread regarding a possible ‘cure’ for this condition. Something about reseting part of the brain/spine. Maybe posting it here would give hope to some of the sufferers? At least they could stay on top of the progress of the testing.

I remember reading that article as well. IIRC, it was presented in San Antonio. I can not find the article though

Here's another case from Jan 2010: In suicide note, Morris blames tinnitus Former Greene County Sheriff William L. Willie Morris shot himself Thursday because of a constant roar in his ears, he wrote in a final letter. I hope that my death will help bring about some cure for those that suffer with tinnitus, by bringing attention to it, he wrote. It is important that my life will not be wasted. Morris had suffered from the condition since September, and by the end of his life heard a constant noise in both ears. He described it as like a buzz saw constantly, his daughter Lisa Morris said. Morris developed the condition after a weightlifting mishap, his daughter said. He had lifted for many years, winning several championships. Here's link to Virginia newspaper:

Steroids are also know to cause tinnitus in some people. Perhaps the Sheriff may have been using them..................

Can you add me please. I have to keep other noise such as a tv or radio on all the time so I don't go nuts.

I’ve heard that some people have had success in alleviating this condition through the use of hypnosis.
To: Red Badger
Please add me to your list, I've suffered this for decades. Shame about the suicide. My wife has us all beat though, google “suicide disease”, to read of the most obscure, terrible malady I’ve ever heard of.
