Vitamins and tinnitus

LindaPatricia

I have tinnitus that is severe at times, but wax and wanes gor 5 yrs. Had all the tests done, no specific reasons for it. Blood test last week revealed I am anemic and essentially no vitimin D. I took my first vitamin D today a large dose. Then 15 min later my tinnitus spiked very high and the volume has contined high all day. Could the vitamin D have possibly caused my tinnitus to spike that quickly after taking it? I have had spikes other times as such, but usually can't pin point triggers. I was up with bad headache all nite too. But I'm hoping it was not the vitimin as I was hoping that would improve my tinnitus if anything...thanks.

I take heavy doses of Vitamin D the last 6 months and it does nothing to my tinnitus. Unlike your tinnitus though mine does not wax and wane it is a perpetual spike for 6 years.

sorry I do not believe it was the vitamin d, maybe some other activity/ or mood triggered it- my ear nose and throat dr recommended bioflavonoids , which I take every day, and I think its improving- in the past month it has gone from a high pitched Mariah Carey note, to a more subtle Lady Gaga pitch. Now if only I could get it down to Barry white.....

I always make sure to take a variety of b-vitamins which are in the lipoflavonoid that I take. Here are the ingredients I found online: https://lipoflavonoid.com/content/9-product-ingredients

I've done a lot of research about b vitamins reducing tinnitus and tested that theory out and I'm happy to say that what I've been doing has worked for me. I also take some biotin (another b vitamin) from time to time. I don't think that vitamin D would make your tinnitus spike... that usually only happens with certain medications.
