Matchbox, this is my understanding of how hearing works. The hair cells are plump little balloons full of Potassium (K), which sit on a "trap door" over a pool of Sodium (NA). When sound waves push the hair cells, they move, opening the trap door so the K mixes with the NA, and the resultant...

Lyta, so far as I can tell, generic Potassium is widely sold. I've been buying mine from a local independent supermarket, which sells the supplement under its own house brand. You can buy on the internet easily. While I talk of taking 100 mg tabs, they are usually sold as 99 mg tabs. No idea why

5) Why does every source say potassium is good for your ears and tinnitus? It seems there is agreement, that potassium is the key to managing tinnitus, if only we can figure out how to turn it in the lock. If you look at the wild-ass guess I posited in my first reply above, my hypothesis is...

4) What caused my tinnitus? Taking the heart drug Digoxin. Ototoxic drug onset.

3) What worked for you is the opposite for me: low potassium + magnesium spikes it, and sugar spikes it immediately. You do seem to be sensitive to potassium levels, so maybe give this idea a try for a day or two? There is one thing you are not doing, and that's taking potassium supplements...

2) Diet sounds wonderful, but I'd get very fat on it! How bad was your tinnitus before you found this way to manage it? How bad is it now you are doing this potassium-managing diet? First off, the Carbohydrate Addict's Diet is itself a wonderful little miracle, you truly can eat as much and...

I can't figure out how to reply to the individual posts, so I'll answer questions like this. 1) Doesn't hurt to try, but how is this supposed to work? So first, yes, this is an easy thing to try. I was able to buy potassium supplements at a local supermarket with a big supplements...

I am going on two years now, following a protocol I stumbled onto, which is working remarkably well to manage my tinnitus. In a nutshell, what you do is moderate the amount of Potassium in your diet and, paradoxically, supplement with Potassium tablets. I call it the “Potassium Protocol.” I...

Like I said, it's best to look everything up, just to be sure, at least at the start. I was delighted to be able to eat berries again, which I was avoiding on the low-salicylate diet. But apricots and nectarines are high P. See the example I gave of pomegranate versus cranberry juice...

I like to throw on a towel or tee shirt, and putter around, clean, make dinner, til the time is up. Or read the computer, etc.

This last post will hazard a brief and wild guess why this works. You know--and I learned from this wonderful forum, thank you so much—that drugs targeting potassium channels have shown promise, but sadly, to date, have unacceptable side effects. Potassium channels are the pores through which...

This post is about magnesium oil. It’s a pain to use, but by far the best way to get lots of magnesium into yourself. You absorb the magnesium through your skin. It does not matter so much where you put it (though there are areas you do not want to put it, see below), it circulates...

This post covers “moderate potassium and calcium from food.” First, if you have any condition that might conceivably be affected by potassium, do consult your doctor. Of course. The ones I know about are blood pressure and heart conditions, as well as kidney issues. Having said, (1) this is...

This post will describe my tinnitus situation, and my experience with the protocol. I’ve had tinnitus since 2014; in retrospect, I’m pretty sure the cause was taking the heart rhythm drug digoxin. I went off the digoxin last December, but my tinnitus continued the same. My tinnitus is...

I stumbled on – for lack of a less obnoxious word – a protocol that is really helping my tinnitus. This is a long narrative, so I’ll break it into several posts. This post will lay out the rules. Next, I’ll describe my tinnitus, and my experience with the protocol, so you can decide if it...

I've taken LDN for over a year, 4.5 mg. No effect on my tinnitus. Does make you dream like crazy, tho--I now take it in the morning instead of evening, too exhausted by all the dreaming. Good luck
