Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this—if not, feel free to move this post, mods—but my tinnitus hasn't gone away. However, I've noticed that while taking Nature's Bounty Adult Multivitamin Gummies, my tinnitus has become much more tolerable. I've been using them for a while now.

In comparison, CareOne Adult Sentry Multivitamin & Multimineral Supplement and CareOne Sentry Men Multivitamin & Multimineral Tablets didn't seem to have the same effect on reducing my tinnitus.

I'm not sure what it is about the Nature's Bounty gummies that helps while the other two don't, but my guess is that it might be the biotin. I asked my tinnitus specialist about this, but I haven't heard back from her yet.

For context: I believe my tinnitus is caused by a combination of hearing loss from infections that led to scarring, and medication side effects. I took Lexapro, which seemed to cause the tinnitus. I used Lexapro before the scarring occurred and didn't notice tinnitus at the time, though that might be because I didn't have significant hearing loss then. It's possible the hearing loss and Lexapro together triggered it.

Later on, I took Sertraline, Loratadine, and Montelukast. I'm almost certain that Sertraline made my tinnitus significantly worse, taking it from mild to what I'd describe as the low end of severe.

Here are images of the ingredients in each multivitamin:

I'm hoping this information is helpful to at least one person who reads this.
