Can Magnesium Make Tinnitus Worse?

I just wanted to resurrect this thread and share my two cents.

I've been taking Magnesium Glycinate and L-Threonate (Magtein) for over a year now since discovering their benefits for the ears.

I can happily report that I've had no spikes whatsoever related to taking them. I try to take Magtein more often since it can cross the blood-brain barrier, but I run out of it more frequently, so I end up going back to Glycinate for a bit due to its high absorption.

I've taken Magnesium Citrate before, too, as it's also easily absorbed, but too much of it has a laxative effect, so I don't really take it unless it's all I have.
 
I've been taking Magnesium for four months, and it seems to keep my tinnitus manageable. It may be a composite result of many other things as well: prayer, reading Psalms, quiet walks, and some masking in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep.
