    Vinpocetine Caution!

    Here's my experience with Vinpocetine, both the good and the not-so-good. On the positive side, it reduced my tinnitus from sounding like cicadas to crickets—and I love crickets. However, I did experience some side effects, particularly a spike in my tinnitus when I took the wrong dosage. The...

    Vinpocetine Caution!

    I’ve been taking 15 mg of Vinpocetine for 3 days, but I had to stop. My tinnitus has worsened, and my quality of life has significantly diminished. The research I read recommended a 5 mg dose (see below). I might try that lower dose eventually, but for now, I need to wait for the current effects...

    CBG:CBD Cannabinoid Tincture — It's Helping My Tinnitus

    @Cher2, the article convinced me there could be a positive link between tinnitus and CBD, but the delivery method, form & dosage remains to be found. I first tried to vape CBD, it spiked my tinnitus but the next day was wonderful. It is difficult to know exactly how much you are taking with...

    CBG:CBD Cannabinoid Tincture — It's Helping My Tinnitus

    Already 6 Hours Tinnitus Free with CBD Oil

    I suggest you start small and increase as you go. I'm swallowing about 4 to 5 ml per day (not sublingual) and I'm definitely getting positive results. Not a cure but a treatment. Initially I took a 10 mg capsule, and that was too much and it spiked my tinnitus for one day, but the following day...

    I did take ¼ of a milliliter before bedtime and I woke up with crickets but louder than when I went to bed. Today I started again with ¼ ml morning/afternoon/evening and now I am in late evening and all I have is but soft crickets. I will take 1/3 ml before bedtime and see how my tinnitus is on...

    Already 6 Hours Tinnitus Free with CBD Oil

    My hypothesis is slow release CBD should be the way to go. Vaping or sublingual CBD should be avoided and may spike your tinnitus. Best to stick with low dose capsules or drinking the CBD oil. My two cents. Must read this research on CBD, hearing receptors and tinnitus: Cannabinoids, Inner...

    Can CBD Oil Be Put in Ear? There are stories of people using CBD oil topically with success for a wide range of ailments. However, there is no reason why someone would want to put CBD oil in their ear for tinnitus. There have been no studies regarding such use of CBD; there is even hardly any...

    In that experiment, they used a 1:1 CBD/THC ratio. THC must be taken out of the picture to evaluate CBD's possible effects on tinnitus.

    I can only speak for myself: THC does make my tinnitus worse. CBD does the same, but to a lesser degree, depending I suppose has to how much you take. In every case, thing do calm down, usually a week, at worst.
