    Ear Clear Plus — Tinnitus Scam Refuted by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA)!

    No I just cured my own tinnitus through research and understanding that tinnitus is a symptom, not a condition. Address the condition and it's highly likely your tinnitus will go completely. I've read endlessly into the various mechanisms that cause tinnitus and the ways it you can find relief...

    Ear Clear Plus — Tinnitus Scam Refuted by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA)!

    He's denying that any supplements work at all so I called him out on it explaining how they can work for certain types of tinnitus. Read my post earlier in this thread. He also said it's "terrifying ENTs and doctors recommend lipoflavonoid" which is one of the worst things I've read on this...

    Ear Clear Plus — Tinnitus Scam Refuted by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA)!

    @Contrast Are you going to reply to any of my posts calling you out or are you going to keep posting toxic nonsense on this forum? I don't understand the "tinnitus cure denying" belief on this forum. Its like you guys want to have T and refuse to believe people recover from it.

    Ear Clear Plus — Tinnitus Scam Refuted by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA)!

    I should probably start every post on this site with how my tinnitus is 95%+ gone thanks to heavily researching into the causes of tinnitus and how you can treat it with supplements, diet and lifestyle changes. Although I think I'm just going to give up coming here all together trying to help...

    Ear Clear Plus — Tinnitus Scam Refuted by the British Tinnitus Association (BTA)!

    Seeing as you tried to make fun of my recent posts I'll point out BTA really need to do some more research and are in no way a trustable resource if they don't even understand what those ingredients can go for tinnitus. Garlic is a known NO booster that has cured people's tinnitus. Plenty of...

    Yep thats ok. The two work well together in fact. Ginko first then NAC an hour or two later.

    Hi, sorry for the late reply, been working 12+ hour days everyday. I don't know much about MDMA so I can really say how it causes T. I'd have to look into it. My T fluctuates like crazy because its blood flow related, too much salt it changes pitch within an hour.

    Having Great Success Managing My Tinnitus with My Potassium Protocol

    The worst thing about tinnitus is what's worked for you is the complete opposite for me. Restricting Potassium + Calcium and taking Magnesium spikes my tinnitus. If I eat bananas and drink milk it reduces my tinnitus but eating sodium rich foods that compete and offset potassium raise my...

    Antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOs, TCAs, TeCAs)

    I just want to chime in again and say I got tinnitus from the SSRI Amitriptyline. From the papers I've read they say it messes with your bodies ability to produce Nitric Oxide(which helps blood flow) which then causes blood circulation problems. Vasoconstriction to your ears is a common cause...

    Gluten-Free and Feeling Better

    I wonder how much of people getting relief from cutting down Gluten is from: Phytic Acid in grain which stops you from absorbing iron, zinc and calcium. Salt and sugary foods which can mess with your blood flow/pressure.

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    Unfortunately doctors and even ENTs have very little knowledge of tinnitus. When I first went to a doctor and told him I got ringing in my ears from taking Amitriptyline just said "no". I explained how the ringing went way down once I stopped and then came back several hours after taking it...

    My Ototoxic / Stress-Induced Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone

    It is up and down but mostly low. If I restrict salt and sugar I don't hear it unless I'm in bed but my mind has adjusted now so I just ignore it at night. I work a physically intensive job and I've problems trying to keep weight on so restricting foods isn't easy for me. I often have no...

    My Tinnitus Went Away! It Does Go Away

    I think one of the first things people should have checked when they develop tinnitus is ear wax. Now I know there are many reports ear of people developing tinnitus from ear cleaning procedures buts it often the root cause. I knew someone who had tinnitus for 2 years and every doctor blamed it...

    Can Tiger Balm Help Tinnitus?

    If your T is caused by muscle problems. Usually neck and jaw related then anything that calms and relaxes muscles could relieve your T. Thats a new one! But it makes sense if your T is caused by ear wax. Olive Oil is a common remedy for loosening ear wax.

    Ring Ease — Reviews? Scam or Not?

    Exactly. A good example of this is Aspirin. Aspirin can spike, cause, relieve and cure Tinnitus. This is why there will never be a universal cure for T because its a symptom, not a condition. There are so many different ways you can get T and an equal number of ways you can treat it.

    My Ototoxic / Stress-Induced Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone

    It is not easy. If I had a slice of toast with butter before bread it would cause a small spike. If I had a salty tomato dish my whole head would be ringing. I just had to be super strict avoiding bread, butter, sauces, cooked meats, sweets etc as much as possible. It's crazy how much salt is in...

    Turmeric with Curcumin Seems to Be Helping

    Turmeric in food often isn't enough. The easiest thing would be to try supplementing it and see how that affects your tinnitus level. Could your tinnitus also be due to high blood pressure?

    My Ototoxic / Stress-Induced Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone

    Ok so the opening post is a bit large. Here is my daily routine at the moment that is working very well. Breakfast - Porridge and a banana then NAC 600mg. 2 hours later a B-complex with a lot of water. I try to drink 5-6 litres a day. For lunch and dinner I try to avoid salty food as much as...

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    Try Zinc Picolante in the evening and see what happens. There is a thread on here where a guy had noise damage and taking Zinc silenced his T after a few days. I was getting good results with Nac and B-vitamins but it always came back again in the evening. Soon as I took Zinc the next morning...

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    Most tinnitus treatments all do the same thing. For example Ginkgo Biloba, Bioflavonoids, aged garlic extract, curcumin/turmeric, NAC, Vitamin Bs etc work by increasing Nitric Oxide Production which boosts blood flow to the inner ear. You are taking a sentence I wrote out of context. Tinnitus...

    Tinnitus Pro by Biogenyx — Is It a Scam?

    I see this kind of super negative attitude all the time. I keep coming across so many people that just don't want to believe tinnitus can be relieved and cured. The evidence is right there with countless success stories but they choose not to believe it for whatever reason.

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    Google :) Countless stories, reviews and posts all available. B12 deficiency is a very common cause of tinnitus and supplementation cures it most of the time. Same with the effects of Bioflavonoids. Improving blood flow through nitric oxide production is one of the main ways people have lessened...

    Floaters

    Some food for thought: I got floaters about 2 months into having tinnitus. When my tinnitus spiked I noticed my floaters more. When I was having quiet days I wouldn't notice my floaters at all. It must be something in the brain that controls how you hear and notice things you shouldn't.

    N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)

    I posted here before saying NAC had a very noticeable effect on my tinnitus. I posted a success story with a lot of information on how I lowered my tinnitus. I don't use NAC anymore because I feel I don't need it anymore, plus I ran out and don't want to buy more lol...

    Ginkgo Biloba

    Ginkgo Biloba works by increasing blood flow. It does this by increasing Nitric Oxide production. Nitric Oxide is a vasodilator meaning it causes blood vessels to relax. Many types of Tinnitus are caused by poor circulation to the inner ear or are lessened and even cured by increasing...

    Lipoflavonoid for Tinnitus? Helps or Not?

    If it doesn't work for you it's snake oil. If it works for you it's a miracle cure. Looking at the ingredients it is basically just a B-Complex and Bioflavonoids. Both of those have been proven ways of lessening and even eliminating several types of tinnitus. The main way it works is increasing...

    My Ototoxic / Stress-Induced Tinnitus Is Nearly Gone

    Short Version: I got tinnitus from taking medicine but I was also very stressed at the time. It went way down to a low hiss in my left ear during the summer last year after taking 600mg NAC, B-Complex and 22mg Zinc Picolinate but came back after a very stressful week and way to much sodium. It...

    My Tinnitus Is Cured! Here's What Worked in My Case

    My Tinnitus Is Cured! Here's What Worked in My Case

    No it's not possible it faded on its own in a week just as soon as he started taking these supplements despite having it for months. I'm not sure why so many members on this site always assume nothing works because it didn't work for them often branding the opening poster a lier, a shill or...

    Ring Ease — Reviews? Scam or Not?

    Hi all! No I haven't forgotten about you lot and no I haven't forgot about my tinnitus. It is up and down the whole time but as long as I heavily reduce salt it keeps it down. Going over 3mg of salt a day makes it noticeable. I'm positive it's a blood flow issue so I've ordered some Ginkgo 761...

    Hi! I wanted to go on holiday and indulge myself with whatever food I wanted and be around loud noise before I made a post. I'm back a week and only had 1-2 days of noticeable tinnitus because I was hungover and very dehydrated but I got it back down. I keep second guessing myself when I do...

    Salicylates Can Cause and Exacerbate Tinnitus, Hearing Loss, and Hyperacusis

    Aspirin is very high in salicylates which is what can cause tinnitus for people when they take it if they are affect by salicylates. I tried a salicylates free diet for 3-4 days and I was miserable on it. It didn't do anything but it ruled it out. Since then I know high quality fruit and...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    Like games or software the first few months of release is a public trial. By Christmas people will know if it works or not. I'm sure other countries are waiting for public results before they want it rolled out in their country. I read a good quote "You don't cure asthma, you treat it" and I...

    Can Aspirin Cure/Relieve Tinnitus?

    ^ This is precisely why it is so hard to find a tinnitus cure. Your tinnitus worsens when you take anything that improves blood circulation while mine greatly improves when I improve blood flow and reduce anything that restricts it. How did you get your tinnitus? Do you have high blood...

    Turmeric with Curcumin Seems to Be Helping

    Turmeric with Curcumin Seems to Be Helping

    Could well be a reason! I haven't researched too much into that area.

With Curcumin/Tumeric people respond similarly to other aids like NAC/Ginko/flavanoids...

    The public release is the biggest test for Lenire and could be seen as a public trial.

    Ring Ease — Reviews? Scam or Not?

    Studies, trials, tests are largely pointless when it comes to tinnitus research and something people really shouldn't take as fact. If you take 100 people with high blood pressure causing their tinnitus and give them B12 you aren't going to yield a good result. Now if you have 100 people the...

    Ring Ease — Reviews? Scam or Not?

    Turmeric with Curcumin Seems to Be Helping

    Tumeric and Curcumin helps open blood vessels and improve blood circulation.

Nitric Oxide is...

    Lenire — Bimodal Stimulation Treatment by Neuromod

    They can see my number is Irish so I would assume that would have helped in getting an early appointment. They didn't say much on the phone other than it would take about 90 minutes. It's a little expensive but it's also a comprehensive exam of your ears with a hearing test, neither of which...
