I have been too scared to take any drugs. My experience of them is that they're more dangerous than what they're trying to cure - but that's just my own experience. I do take Paracetamol if the tinnitus causes a bad headache, but that's all. Also, re the driving. I've found that it's the...

Now 10 years from the start of T for me. Salicylates play a major factor in the noise level. When it's loud it stops me being able to think.

I would have thought that there were more than 367 cases of tinnitus strongly linked to a vaccine just on this forum - perhaps WHO is trying not to frighten us?

@CathyJ - If Aspirin causes tinnitus then it is highly likely that you are 'salicylate sensitive'. Salicylates cause my tinnitus & they are hard to avoid. If I manage not to eat food with moderate to high salicylate content then my tinnitus disappears. If I eat or drink or 'breathe in' something...

Nine years since it began. Food high in salicylates, salt & lack of sleep bring it on. Get the balance right & it disappears.

JM - can you let us know whereyou managed to get hold of a book on ototoxic drugs please? In the UK they start at around £175! Thanks Click

@Markku Hi Markku, I'm trying to figure out whether B12 Methylcobalamin should be taken on its own or whether it's better to take it with Hydroxycobalamin or take hydo instead. Have read that all the wonderful claims about methylcobalamin may not be accurate... to quote one site...

ok - cheers linearb. Not sure I trust anything much on the net, even the ones that aren't 'selling' could be set up just to boost the SEO of the ones that are selling... I found the depression bit whilst trying to figure out whether B12 Methylcobalamin should be taken on its own or whether it's...

Have just read that 'depression affects 62 percent of people with tinnitus' (at: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/04/05/magnesium-tinnitus-relief.aspx ) Is this true? Are 62% of us depressed? I'm not & never have been but am interested in responses to this. Click

Screamed like hell yesterday - GONE today...

Up all night - annoying!!

The medical profession, tinnitus 'centres', clinics etc. know so little about tinnitus that they really should be stopped from giving 'absolute' advice. When they have definitive treatment and a cure that actually removes T then they will be qualified to make statements like 'earplugs don't...

Salt seems to affect t volume for more people than carbs or sugar. Most who have T that is affected by their diet say that salicylates are the thing to watch out for. I spent ages trying to figure out whether they affected my T. Have decided they do ... then decided they don't, then changed my...

@Louise - got a phone call this morning - the consultant who was doing my op tomorrow has to fix someone's broken jaw so mine has been delayed until Dec 1st - I don't know whether to celebrate or be upset about it :o)

Has anyone managed to find Coenzymated Vitamin B1 (or a Coenzymated B Complex) without magnesium stearate in it? I seem to be getting nowhere with this! Thanks.
