I'm sure it will. The stuff is not ototoxic, but it has a very long half life, measured in days. I once got a spike from smoking weed which lasted for 3 weeks. That was undoubtedly the THC component (because CBD oil doesn't spike me and it has everything in weed except THC), but the point is that hemp spikes are temporarily but can be long.
This actually depends a lot
CBD isolate and products made from isolate (which includes many gummies, etc) literally just have CBD in them. Full spectrum extracts will have many of the things that pot does, but, not necessarily "everything". THCV is an unscheduled, poorly understood but clearly very psychoactive cannabinnoid which is not found in CBD products generally (else they would be very intoxication). Additionally, there are wide differences strain to strain in the terpenes and other more poorly understood cannabinnoids.
Okay, I stand corrected.This actually depends a lot
I'm a novice to matters cannabis, but I'm loving it so far.
Now I've been one month off CBD + THC, and my tinnitus has been worse than without... I suspect it might have more to do with sleep and other factors rather than CBD + THC. I just wish I could use it knowing that my tinnitus won't get permanently worse.
OMG, I hope you had long term relief. I actually just found a little jar in our flat. I took about 5 drops now before bed. Hopefully it helps with my hyperacusis to at least chill me out. Thanks.Hi Guys,
I have NEVER posted on a forum before but I feel compelled to share with my fellow tinnitus sufferers my recent experience using CBD Oil.
I'm 41 and I have had mild tinnitus for as long as I can remember but I haven't allowed it to affect my life - not until recently. The past two years have been very stressful and I have been coping well. However, about a month ago I went to bed at 10pm and woke up an hour later with the loudest ringing in my right ear!! If my usual tinnitus is a 3 then this bugger was a 9. I was petrified. This incredibly loud alarm bell ringing lasted a few hours and I was beside myself that I was stuck with this uninvited noise forever. On the verge of a panic attack I decided to take a sleeping pill (not usual practice) knocked myself out and luckily I woke up without the super loud tinnitus.
Desperate for advice and support I called the British Tinnitus Association the next morning. The helpful guy asked me if I was stressed out at the moment and then it all fell into place - Stress is having a physical, audible effect.
About two weeks ago, in the same right ear, a louder tinnitus than my usual mild base tinnitus started. I could hear it over the TV and conversations with friends, it was starting to affect my everyday life and I was becoming anxious that the super loud tinnitus was going to rear its ugly head again! So I started Googling and found Tinnitus Talk and the thread started by a guy who wrote about his positive experience with CBD Oil.
My other half had bought some CBD Oil (10% so quite strong) a few years ago and knew it was knocking around in a drawer somewhere. Bingo! I found it, took a few drops and let it sit under my tongue for a minute or two, this was at about 2pm. That evening at about 10pm I'm watching a film and it occurred to me that I couldn't hear my new louder tinnitus. I went outside in the quiet and I still had my mild tinnitus but the new one had gone!! I went to bed without it and woke up without it. The following afternoon I noticed a slight ding (not ringing) so I took a couple more drops and a few hours later it went again.
Every morning since then I have had a couple of drops and it keeps my tinnitus spike under control. I felt I really needed to share this with you guys in the hope that if you try it, it could help you too
It was an 18:1 ratio full spectrum CBD. From my understanding there is about 1 mg of TCH for every 18 mg of CBD. So it does have THC but super super minimally.
Same thing happened to me. I didn't give up, though! I went and tried several other brands (from dispensaries) and had even worse spikes. I'm glad I tried it because now I'm 100% certain it causes spikes and I will never try it again. Glad it helps some, though.
Ah, my bad. I wasn't familiar with the terminology. That does seem like a very low percentage, but it could still be enough to cause a spike. Have you considered trying a broad-spectrum instead?
I'm honestly done trying lol. It's just super depressing. If anything I miss THC. That's the stuff that would knock me out. I'm terrified to try it again.
I was experiencing a horrible spike over Christmas and I started taking 10 mg pure CBD from Pureis. It seems to have calmed my tinnitus from where it was. I definitely have been sleeping much better because of the CBD. I can't tell if it's had a real effect on my tinnitus because we can't measure it yet. However it's not had a bad effect so far and I've been taking it for about 3 weeks now.
I am extremely jealous lol. I wish it didn't do anything to my tinnitus. I'm really looking for better sleep alternatives than the Xanax. Of course marijuana makes tinnitus worse lol. Why wouldn't it.
Honestly, if it can have a noticeable effect on my day-to-day mood and/or sleeping ability, I think that's valuable enough. My main concern is just avoiding it being bad for the symptom by exacerbating it.
Ya no worries and to be honest I told myself "nothing has made it better or worse. Why will this?" And there it goes. Now, tonight I am experiencing a little more noise but I think it might be down to anxiety.
I think this is very helpful for myself as well. I was starting to worry that I am maybe doing further damage but with this condition nothing is ever clearly laid out.
Wow, and an extremely interesting and thought-provoking post. I certainly hope there is something to this, as though who are receiving chemotherapy for an already terrible ailment should not also have to suffer hearing loss and tinnitus as well.
@Tom Rollison, @Drachen -- You may want to check out the following thread (link below), which I feel has some really interesting information along the lines of what you're discussing... The 2nd and 3rd posts references using Sodium Thiosulfate to counter the effects of the chemotherapy drug Cisplatin.
