Nature's Bounty Adult Multivitamin GUMMIES Lowered My Tinnitus

[FloralDawn]

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.

It is likely that those vitamins had no impact on your improvement; the progress you are experiencing is probably due to the passage of time.

I tried stopping the Nature's Bounty vitamins, and my tinnitus became worse again.

I have also been taking CareOne Fish Oil 1000 mg with 300 mg of Omega-3 for a long time now, or at least some type of fish oil. I am not sure if that had any effect in combination with the Nature's Bounty multivitamins, but it is a possibility.

I personally suspect it is related to B12, as its effects are limited to the nervous system. My tinnitus also seems to improve when I keep up with my B12 shots. However, there could be multiple factors involved.

Thanks for posting this! It was helpful to me, as I am currently looking for a vitamin and will give Nature's Bounty a try. Do you think it might be the Inositol? They include Inositol in Lipoflavonoids, and it is supposed to somehow help with tinnitus.
