    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    UPDATE: I've taken Sulodexide for almost two months. The main side effect is an some aggravation of my pre-existing gastric reflux disorder. But bearable. The main conclusion so far: it's helping my tinnitus somehow. It doesn't really treat or cure it, but it somehow reduces, not the base...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    No, Saffron is not long lasting, and actually it seems that your body quickly adjusts to its effects, so it's not a cure. But it may relax you. Saffron seems to work like an actual anti-depressant drug. Something like that: Saffron (Crocus sativus L.): As an Antidepressant Here is the topic...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    Unfortunately, there was a small spike again yesterday, so in addition to the Sulodexide, I used the only supplement (from many I tested) that actually works for me: natural Saffron spice, extracted by 20 mg of vodka. I awoke in near silence (the silent days are the ones I forgot I am having the...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    Update: I need to say that I am trying Suledoxide after very, very huge spike I got during my flu/pharyngitis episode. After I started to take the pills, the spike dropped to the baseline. I doubt that it is because of Sulodexide, probably just a lucky coincidence. I will continue to take the...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    In the beginning, yes. However, I believe that after 30 days, I will increase the dosage to 4 pills, since I have read that it is a very safe drug used for preventive purposes, etc., with no risk of bleeding. And I opted not to take it with Melatonin because (just in my opinion!) Melatonin...

    Sulodexide Possibly Benefits Chronic Tinnitus

    Really sad. Would you try to add 3 mg Melatonin before the sleep as in the study?

    Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?

    Hi, in the beginning I was carefully taking ~ 20 units twice a day, soaking them in the warm milk or vodka. Later I was using just a small pinch of Saffron, not measuring it. Actually now I take it only occasionally, maybe twice a week. Something happened to me, I am not so much bothered by...

    Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?

    So ~6 weeks of Saffron use. I definitely benefit from it, and will continue to use. It helps somehow with the mood, however, it is not a cure for tinnitus, of course. The effect is very strong in the beginning. Later the body gets adapted and you need to increase the dose, and still the effect...

    Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?

    An update: I have continued to take Saffron. My elevated mood has disappeared now, I have some slight anxiety attacks (I had anxiety problems before the SSHL), in general my mood is not good, but I don't feel depressed, just tired of being in the anxious state. Most interestingly, I am not...

    Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?

    It's been 2 weeks since I started taking Saffron. Objectively speaking I cannot say that the tinnitus loudness decreased, but I noticed that I somehow don't care so much about tinnitus anymore. I keep finding myself sometimes forgetting about it, for example, I no longer use masking music. And I...

    Movie: Sound of Metal — A Drummer's Life Is Turned Upside Down After He Starts Losing Hearing

    Long story short, I enjoyed the movie Sound of Metal, however... there was almost nothing related to the tinnitus. Maybe only the feeling he got when the cochlear implants were turned on. The constant disturbed noise. I wish someone would create a movie about a tinnitus hero, and obviously...
