Thank you for your reply. My tinnitus is indeed a single tone—a very high-pitched electrical sound. Although the frequency doesn’t change, the volume and intensity fluctuate. It’s at its mildest in the mornings and after exercise in the afternoons. I am not familiar with the term “residual...

Hi David, I recently came across your work and downloaded your Tinnitus Mix from the first post (was it from several years ago?). However, I'm unsure if I can wear headphones all night, even for one night, let alone 21. I've been experimenting with Notched Music using the AudioNotch.com...

Usually, if I drink alcohol, my tinnitus gets worse.

I have been taking Nicotinamide Riboside, two capsules per day of Thorne Supplements’ ‘ResveraCel,’ which contains Nicotinamide Riboside as well as Resveratrol and Quercetin. However, I am not aware of any side effects. What might they be?

Is methylene blue safe?

I’ve never heard of that possibility before. As for ALA, I don’t think 600 mg is a lot. The more I read, the more I believe it’s safe. Regarding Prednisone, yes, I had a bad experience with it. I retained so much water that I blew up like a balloon and ended up in the hospital. Never again!

I wish I could find something definitive about ALA. I'm continuing with all the other antioxidants, but ALA is powerful, and I want to feel confident about taking it. I know it helps with neuropathy, as I had foot surgery 18 months ago, and I think it has done wonders for my foot. But can it...

I’ve been on this antioxidant supplementation program for several months, which includes 1200 mg of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA). I think I’ve had some success in reducing the volume of my tinnitus. However, I keep hearing mixed messages about ALA, and I’m starting to have doubts about it...

Yes, but “hiss” isn’t quite the right word, nor is “ringing.” It’s more like the sound you might imagine if you could hear the power lines overhead—a very high-pitched electrical sound. It’s not in the ears but in the brain.

The NO/ONOO Cycle article confuses me, but I think it suggests that while nitric oxide (NO) can be beneficial, an excess of it can have negative effects. Tinnitus seems to occur when there is an imbalance, such as between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. GABA and other neurochemicals...

Sure, sorry for the delay—I've been ill but am just now getting back to normal. The product I've been taking is Thorne's ResveraCel, which is available directly from Thorne's website or on Amazon.com. I did read a report suggesting that Resveratrol itself is best taken every other day, but I...

Interesting. I came across a study on this website promoting a regimen of vitamins and antioxidants, including the vasodilators ALA and grapeseed extract, to reduce tinnitus volume by 14 dB. I don’t understand why increasing the intake of healthy antioxidants or enhancing blood flow to the...

Well, I started taking ALA after it was recommended by a doctor following foot surgery. It helped my foot heal and definitely helps with neuropathy, so I have every reason to believe it is a powerful vasodilator. Regarding studies on Varenicline, thank you, but perhaps you missed the link that...

I have been trying Notched Music Therapy for about a month, and I am starting to see some results. It may take several months for significant improvements, but it's easy enough to listen to my notched music every day while I work. Currently, my impression is that the intensity of my tinnitus is...

Hello, and thank you! Your original and subsequent posts have inspired me. Your descriptions of yourself and your symptoms mirror my own, except for your bout with deafness in one ear as a child and the fact that I am 20 years older. Tinnitus struck me almost exactly one year ago, and I am...

I got the opposite experience. My tinnitus started after a doctor stupidly put me on a double dose of Omeprazole for several months at the same time as a high dose of the sleep medication Zaleplon. I went off both. Not sure about the sleep medication, but I do know that all PPIs suppress...

The studies exist. Look harder. But, what is the point of your arguing, unless you’re worried about it. If so, switch to an H2 blocker like Pepcid. If not, that is your choice. Not mine. But Merry Christmas.

Lucky you. But they are very serious studies. You ought to know that not every drug affects every person in the same way. The fact that Omeprazole is highly ototoxic simply puts you at risk. It also greatly increases the chance of heart attack, stroke, and blood clots. That doesn’t mean you were...

Hardly. They are serious studies. It says “take for 14 days” on the box for a reason. Are you saying NO has no purpose?

Good! What works for some does not for others. Tinnitus is individual. I am going to try black seed oil, now.

Taurine, GABA (Pharma-GABA), NAC, Nicotinamide Riboside, Resveratrol, Quercetin, Betaine, and Folate (L-Methylfolate).

OK, so I read the entire study. But I am not a scientist. I am confused by one thing. It has been shown in several studies that there are strong links between the use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (Omeprazole, Prevacid) and tinnitus, but the one thing PPIs do is suppress the creation of Nitric Oxide...

Taurine may help over time. Below 6 grams it won’t hurt.

How did the audiologist check for that? I had an entire brain MRI of the auditory cortex and was told that it was not detailed enough to detect hair cell damage. At least, that’s what I was told. I’m not a doctor.

For sleep, I take Magnesium L-threonate along with L-theanine.

I am going to pursue Notch Music therapy. Do I have to use headphones? Can I just play from good stereo speakers in my home office while I work?

No, hearing loss is not always the cause of tinnitus. Tinnitus can exist without hearing loss.

I am taking Nicotinamide Riboside via Thorne's product called Resveracel, which contains 415 mg Nicotinamide Riboside, 300 mg Resveratrol, 150 mg Quercetin, and also Betaine. I started in mid-November and doubled the dose in early December. No ill effects. No tinnitus cessation, either, but I...

My tinnitus started in early October of 2023 after being on a double dose of Omeprazole for 3 1/2 months. I did not really need it; I had a rare episode of acid reflux in June and my doctor slapped me on Omeprazole, twice the dose recommended, for some odd reason. I knew no better. I did not...

I have had a floater in each eye for a few years. Recent ingestion of Bromelain for 2 weeks seems to have completely dissolved one of them.

Here, and hopeful

I am taking Thorne's other Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) product that also contains Resveratrol and Quercetin. It's called Resveracel, and 1 dose is 2 capsules containing a total of 415 mg of NR. I am also taking 3 g of Taurine daily. Recent studies of both NR and Taurine on tinnitus have been...

I took cyclobenzaprine for several months (Just 5 mg at bedtime, no more) to deal with a lower back injury, and ceased taking it in December. I then had a cold, a bad one, much of January, and was coughing up phlegm through February. Went through 1 & 1/2 bottles of Nyquil and two full boxes...
