The only time I got tinnitus is when I took too much Ibuprofen!
My son has it and he did some research on it. My mom has Meniere's Disease. My ears do ring from time to time, but not enough to bother me.
One cause is exposure to loud noises, and that the brain may try to compensate and end up producing electrical signals that the person hears as ringing in the ears.
Another cause may be an excessive swelling of the small fluid-filled chanbers of the inner ear. When it reaches peak, people with Menieres experience vertigo anywhere from 10 minutes to several hours, unsteadiness for possibly several days, nausea, sweating, vomiting and loss of balance.
Allergies, alcohol, caffiene, barometric changes, orgasm, sugar, loud noises, and excess salt may trigger this disorder. Also obesity and high cholesterol. Drug use, smoking, trauma and TMJ may be involved as well.
It has been studied and suggested by the University of Iowa that listening strategies could break the pattern responsible for the problem in the brain.
Suggested nutrients for tinnitus.
COQ10, if you're over 40 or have hepatitis, you might opt for the bioavailable form, Ubiquinol. antioxidant boosts the immune system and provides circulation to the ears. 100 mg for tinnitus, 200-300 mg for hep C for a month, then drop back to 100 mg.
Biostrath
Chromium Picolinate if you have high blood sugar.
Colloidal Silver drops in the ears.
Magnesium, 1500 mg protects the hair cells in the inner ear.
Manganese, 10 mg deficiency has been linked to ear disorders.
NAC to remove excess fluids from the ear canal.
Niacin (do not take the high dose of 100 mg if your liver is messed up, or if you have gout or high blood pressure)
Essential fatty acids to correct metabolic imbalances.
And a good multi vitamin.
Are you taking too much calcium? Just take the recommended amounts.
Herbs: Eucalyptus, hyssop, mullein and thyme will help decongest the ears, which may help with the ringing.
Antioxidants.
Dietary:
Fresh pineapple, garlic and seaweeds.
Avoid alcohol and sugars which encourage yeast growth.
Limit caffeine, chocolate and sodium.
Avoid MSG, and fried foods.
Keep the volume down on earplugs for stereos. If the person next to you can hear it, it's too loud.
Reduce cholesterol levels.
Check into possible food allergies.
An average rock concert at 100 decibels can damage the hears in just 30 minutes. Same for stereo head sets. Same for hanging out at video arcades.
