    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

    An interesting article on the subject: Cannabinoids, Inner Ear, Hearing, and Tinnitus: A Neuroimmunological Perspective I've been using CBD oil for more than a month and it really helps my tinnitus. The secret for myself, is taking minute amounts on a regular basis (1 ml swallowed not...

    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...

    Dosage/type of CBD/delivery method ALL IMPORTANT. I resolved the type of CBD with full spectrum CBD oil approved by health Canada. Next to no THC (which is I wanted). I am experimenting with different combinations, and here is what I know so far (I'm an ongoing guinea pig). One milliliter of oil...

    Already 6 Hours Tinnitus Free with CBD Oil

    Ok, I started experimenting. Yesterday noon I took a 10 mg CBD capsule (10 mg CBD, 0.4 THC or 25:1) and by late afternoon and evening my tinnitus spiked but not at an intolerable level. Today, the next day, I have but cricket! Backgroud: I have serious tinnitus, I've had it for 40 years and...

    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.

    I have but recently started experiencing with CBD and my tinnitus that I’ve had since age 40 (I am now 64). I have had tinnitus so loud in the past, I had suicidal thoughts (some here will understand). Anyway, I started vaping 2 puffs of dry herb CBD half hour before bedtime (cannabis 18:1...

    Is Melatonin Definitely Safe? It Won't Exacerbate Tinnitus?

    I have days that are worse than others, especially in the morning. What appears to be helping me: – restful sleep and sleeping when it’s dark out or in a dark room. - wearing hearing aid so that the brain can focus on external sound. It has been proven that regular use of hearing aids for at...

    How Old Are You, Melatonin Users?

    What works for me is melatonin (the usual dosage for tinnitus is 3 mg) before bedtime and hearing aids. The science behind melatonin and tinnitus is sound. Also, avoid THC products. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21859051...

    Multiple Tinnitus Sounds — Are There Others Like Me?

    Is Melatonin Definitely Safe? It Won't Exacerbate Tinnitus?

    A distinct pattern is emerging with me: I take about 2 mg of melatonin before bedtime and I wake up with manageable yet intrusive tinnitus. I slap on my hearing aids and the tinnitus goes to a squeak within hours. By the end of the day, I am left with diffused crickets! I went to hell for 3...

    You are correct, in rats it was 50/50 THC/CBD ! Cannabis made tinnitus worse in humans (as it does in mine), but I suspect they used THC based cannabis and not the CBD kind. https://www.medpagetoday.com/meetingcoverage/aaohnsf/82180

    Day 3 on melatonin, this time I took 2.5mg before bedtime and woke up with intrusive but tolerable tinnitus. I got my hearing aids on and within a few hours, my tinnitus was down, way down to about 2.5/10. Tinnitus is so unpredictable but melatonin is giving me hope in the coping area. Tonight I...

I took 10mg before bedtime, T. spiked during the night, so much that when I got up too early, I couldn’t get back to sleep, too much ringing. I drank a bunch of water to help...
