What's also remarkable is that my tinnitus stopped one day after beginning the supplementation which was one capsule per day. I
Old post I know, but if you're still about, are you still on the Benfotiamine, and is it still helping?Yes my blood sugar level has been at the upper range of normal and sometimes slightly above. The Benfotiamine does help with that I'm sure. As I write this my tinnitus has once again reduced itself to a very low level. I'm still taking the minimal amount of Benfotiamine but will increase it if need be in the future. I have always taken small amounts of magnesium taurate, citrus bioflavonoids, turmeric, zinc, flax oil and a multi vite. However it wasn't until the addition of the Benfotiamine that I really began to see a difference. If your tinnitus is caused or aggravated by elevated sugar or inflammation, this may help.
Curious as well. Considering going on this.Old post I know, but if you're still about, are you still on the Benfotiamine, and is it still helping?
Me too. I think I'll try it.Curious as well. Considering going on this.
Are you still on Benfotiamine?@Toopers -- Congratulations on your improvements! Have you thought about whether your blood sugar levels were causing or contributing to your tinnitus. Here's a link to an article on Benfotiamine, which delves into its effect on blood sugar legels:

Below is a link the the producte I buy for myself. I don't know whether it's helping with my tinnitus, as I began supplementing with it 3-4 years ago, well before my tinnitus onset.
Life Extension Mega Benfotiamine 250 mg, 120 Vegetarian Capsules
This sounds like a product most people should take as they age, whether or not a person has tinnitus. -- @Bill Bauer
Are you still on Benfotiamine?
Thanks for responding.Hi @DebInAustralia -- I do still take it, the brand I linked to above. I only take it about 2-3x/week, as the dosage is rather high. Another B vitamin I take regularly that I can notice much more from taking is inositol. I first heard it was good for OCD because of how it can calm the brain. Although I don't have OCD, it does seem to calm down my brain and nervous system. -- LISTENING TO INOSITOL: CLINICAL NOTES
Does the Benfotiamine and/or Inositol help your tinnitus?
