    Has Valerian Made Anyone's Tinnitus Worse?

    I have been taking Valerian drops (in a glycerin solution) for the past three days. I took 15 drops before bedtime instead of the recommended 40, choosing to err on the side of caution. On the first night, I did feel a mild relaxing effect. On the second night, I woke up with a significant...

    What Are the Long-Term Effects of Tinnitus on Health & the Brain?

    I've been enduring tinnitus for the last 17 years, and it has been very severe for the last 9 years. I am pretty much constantly overwhelmed by the intensity and relentless nature of my tinnitus. I am sure a few people here can relate to that. I know about the obvious side effects such as...

    Side Effects of Vitamin D Supplements — Tinnitus and General Wellbeing Negatively Affected?

    I have found that my moderate intake of vitamin D (1500UI) has no effect on my tinnitus. One thing very important is to complement vitamin D with vitamin K2 to settle the calcium.

    Magnesium Supplements = Making Hyperacusis Worse?

    I have started taking a low dose of ionic liquid magnesium before bed this week and I have noticed too that my ears are somewhat more sensitive to noise. Luckily I am also taking liquid ionic zinc in the day time and this seems to correct this issue. Been taking this supplement for 3 weeks now...

    Magnesium Supplements = Making Hyperacusis Worse?

    I don't consider myself suffering from TTTS but I have been subjected to chronic "clogged ear fullness". The best remedy I have found was taking wheat grass powder. It works in a matter of days, quite effective on me.

    Surgery, Anaesthetic and Tinnitus

    I just underwent major surgery less than 2 months ago and I can say that I did not find that anesthesia had any noticeable effect on my long term, chronic and debilitating tinnitus level. Mind you my tinnitus is very loud in the 8-9 range. What I did find is that the painkillers (like...

    What Are the Best Supplements to Improve Vision (Color Enhancement or Sharpness) and/or Visual Snow?

    I would recommend trying some saffron tea (just steep a few saffron stigmas in hot water) for vision and mood enhancement. I have had spectacular results. Carrots also are excellent, provided you grate them before consuming for better absorption. Lastly, as much as possible, do not wear sun...
