Hi...I'm new here and just wondering if anyone has ever tired Ginko Biloba. My dad and I both have tinnitus and it is driving us crazy. A friend of ours has it and uses ginko and said it works great. I can't use it...had an allergic reaction to it a few years ago. Just wondering if anyone else has ever tried it and if so what luck you had with it.

" Hi, my Ent gave some strong concentrated pills of Ginko Biloba. Did do anything for the t I have. But, some people say it works after 3 months of using it. So if your Daddy starts, don't stop until 3 months. Some people had the tinnitus gone when they tried Ginko because their type was related to blood micro circulation. "

" Thank you. I will tell him, he's starting it tomorrow. I hope it works for him. Haven't found anything my cardiologist will let me take to work for me. Can't take medication...usually has a bad reaction with my heart. It likes to just stop working. :( "

" Hello!
I was on a supplement that had Ginko Biloba and other herbal stuff and my T actually got worse. Once I quit using that supplement the noise level toned down. It is different for everyone as far as what works and what doesn't. Righ now, I'm taking a little over 2,000 mcg of Biotin and I have noticed the noise level of my T even lower than before. However, this level of Biotin may not work for others.

I wish the best for you and your dad!

Blessings! "

" I know it works for some people, but you do have to be careful as it acts like a blood thinner. You need to tell your doctor you are on it expecially before any surgery.

I hope it works for your dad's T/

" Can you take B-12? They are saying that tinnitus sufferers around the world - are upping the B-12 and feeling a difference. I did Gingko and noticed nothing - "

" Tried Ginko...all it did was made my stomach upset. Did nothing for the T.

It is trial and error, what works for one may not work for another.

" I'm starting my third month of Arches' Tinnitus Formula, which is mostly heavy doses of Ginko and Garlic. Not doing a thing, but Michangel is correct in that you're supposed to take stuff for at least three months (Arches says four to be sure).
I may try the B12 angle, but Arches sells their B 12 as a way to bring down your stress levels, stress is supposed to make T worse. But I don't know if more B12 makes the noise go down. "

" I have a real difficult time with medications...even natural. I've tried the B-12, but it made my chest feel real heavy and I had trouble breathing. I feel like I'm going to have to live with this noise in my head forever...it drives me crazy!!! It never goes away!!! "
