What is the best treatment for severe Tinnitus? (ringing of the ear?

Do you know any HOME REMEDIES for tinnitus or "ringing'' of the ear?

  • I need something I can do easily, & at home. PREFERABLY- no medications...BUT I'll take ANY recommendations. Something...anything! My dad has this horrible ringing that is killing him (By the way...it is ONLY in his left ear). Anyone have experience with this??? He went to the ear, nose & throat doc. today. They said that there is really nothing they can give him because he has high cholesterol & it would cause EXTREME high cholesterol if he took the medicine they had, it would be very "harmful".They also said that he needs to be tested for hearing aids because he is somewhat deaf in the left ear. So....suggestion??

  • Answer:

    How are you today? I was diagnosed with cochlea damage induced tinnitus resulting mostly from exposure to noise - I used to love loud music. Ellen from a company called T-Gone was very helpful in helping me reduce the effects, I was given her details from a friend and I'm so happy I found out about it.

My friend had tinnitus for nearly 40 years now. he use to suffer badly from moderate chronic ringing combined with unbearable frequent pulsing sounds. As with numerous other tinnitus sufferers, he had been told to "accept and live with it." But within two an half months, the awful ringing and pulsing that had tormented his days and nights had gone.Check this workouts, this plan of action was not easy but doable.

According to the American Tinnitus Association (ATA), there is no known cure of tinnitus, at least with the conventional line of medicine. For a long time though, herbs & herbal formulas have come to the rescue of these tinnitus sufferers. Tinnitus is usually due to damage to the microscopic ends of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Perfect hearing is possible only if these nerves remain healthy and any damage to these nerves results in tinnitus or hearing impairment. Some herbal remedies exist which can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. Some of the most common herbs & biochemic tissue salts used are • Ginkgo Biloba is excellent for a number of cerebral and circulatory disorders. It is probably the most widely-used herb for tinnitus and many sufferers swear by this natural ingredient. • Rosemary dilates and strengthens blood vessels and is an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary is particularly useful for tinnitus that is caused or worsened by high blood pressure and other circulatory conditions. • Avena Sativa is effective in reducing high cholesterol levels which can contribute to circulatory problems which cause tinnitus. • Wild Hyssop is also useful in reducing pain and inflammation. • Salicylic Ac. (30C) is indicated for tinnitus with loud roaring or ringing sounds, which may be accompanied by deafness or vertigo. This remedy is particularly useful in people whose symptoms began with a bout of flu, Meniere’s disease or long-term use of aspirin. • Ferrum phosphoricum (Ferrum phos. D6) is a homeopathic biochemic tissue salt which supports the absorption of iron in the body. The protective myelin sheath which surrounds all nerve tissue needs iron to supply this vital nutrient to the nerve cells it encases. Regular use of Ferrum phos. can help to prevent dizziness, headaches and restlessness and is of great benefit for those who tend to feel irritable, tense and tired. • Magnesium phosphate (Mag. phos. D6) well-known as a homeopathic painkiller, Mag. phos. is also of great benefit to the health of the nerves. It acts as a natural anti-spasmodic and a nerve and muscle relaxant and is also frequently recommended for stress headaches. Hope all this helps Good Luck!

There is no "cure" for tinnitus. The reason is that tinnitus is caused by hearing loss and the hearing loss that causes it is generally permanent (either from aging, noise, etc.). The brain can learn to ignore the tinnitus though, but that takes some work on your part to reduce your stress (like meditation) and sound therapy to help the brain not hear the ringing. Currently the best treatment for tinnitus is sound based therapies. The only web-based one, that is research based and personalized, is at beyondtinnitus.com. This company's system is based on research of two ear nose and throat doctors done at the University of California Irvine. Basically, they figure out your tinnitus pitch and loudness, etc. and give you a sound file that you can download for therapy that is specific to your tinnitus. The therapy sound can be mixed with your own music using their system and you can listen to your own music while the sound therapy file is working in the background. The alternative is therapy in the clinic with tinnitus retraining therapy or Neuromonics, but those will cost you ~$5000. Herbal remedies have not been shown to be effective in good clinical studies. Sound therapies have are effective 80-90% of time, whereas herbal remedies have only been found to be as effective as sugar pills. Ginkgo has been studied in large clinical trials and it wasn't found to be effective at all. My dad had bothersome tinnitus and he took Ginkgo and it didn't help. He tried the sound therapy and he can't hear the ringing. If he really thinks about it and listens for it, he hears it, but otherwise it's not noticeable and doesn't keep him up at night.
