Cause of Tinnitus
Not sure
Looking at the B vitamin supplements available I've noticed that most contain calcium in the form of Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate. As I've read that calcium can cause T this worries me. Just wondering if all those taking B vits are taking a brand without this?
 
Calcium causing tinnitus? that's news to me.

Where you've read this?
 
Hi markku

It may not be correct but someone did mention it to me during the past few months (since my T started). I remember it because mineral water high in calcium has always made me feel weird.

Apparently too much calcium can cause the blood vessels to the ear to narrow - this reduces the amount of oxygen that the ear receives and can result in T.

The Hard of Hearing site at http://www.hearinglosshelp.com/articles/tinnitus.htm mentions 'calcium build up' rather than the supplements..

'Other conditions that can trigger tinnitus include calcium build-up on the small bones in your middle ears (otosclerosis)'

so if a 'build up' of calcium' can cause it surely taking calcium can't be good? Or maybe it's a totally different type of calcium?

My T is screaming right now which is why I'm looking up supplements. Bought B vits ages ago but haven't taken any yet - went through the ingredients and found the calcium type additive.
