Leeches on Ears for Tinnitus Relief? It Helped Hitler

[Karl28]

I read that Hitler had tinnitus during WW2 and that his doctor put leeches on his ear which helped his tinnitus.

I also found a study on leeches and tinnitus:

Hmmmmmmm......

 

[Contrast]

How is a leech sucking blood going to regenerate hearing cells? or deal with hyperactivity in the audiotory brain?

Lot's of bullshit on the internet was made up about Hitler.

 

[Arseny]

It's a scam.
I see it prescribed a lot in Russia. When other "treatments" don't work.
Never helps anybody.
Preying on desperate people...

Hitler probably suffered from tinnitus as a result from WW1 and later the assassination attempt with a bomb in WW2.

Hitler was a drug addict, and suffered from insomnia but I do not believe leeches are very useful for tinnitus. Medieval nonsense.
