Saffron Cure for Tinnitus?
- Thread starter baskar

MemberThe kind of T you've described in the past often worsens or spikes with sound exposure. I was wondering if that's been the case for you, and if that has changed since taking the saffron.
In other words, is there any change in your ability to handle loud sounds without worsening T, or a general improved ability to handle louder sounds?
I also find it to be louder; I drink the milk at night and so after a while -when in bed like now, I hear it louder .. But it may be because I focus on it to see if it is quieter.. but it is not ... 
Its quite annoying for me now , the worst its been for roughly 2 weeks, did just switch brands of Saffron yesterday, either its that or I am gaining tolerance ?
Dont think I have had any brain T since i started until now.

@RaZaH That sucks, you were doing really good. Maybe the brand really does have a lot to do with it. Wondering if you just need to switch back to the other brand and give it a break for a couple days (or limit to a couple days per week).
I have an embarrassing question, do you actually drink down the stands or just take them out?
I feel so dumb asking that.

I am going to try and ind the brand I was using at first.
Tomorrow might be better again, fingers crossed.

Yes, I down the whole thing .
From the NY Times -- take some time to read the readers comments as well. Looks like Saffron is used is used in a lot of dishes all the time, and it should indeed be used in hot dishes (e.g., warm milk or warm water):

My noise is worse now. I stopped taking the saffron morning and evening and switched to evenings only. However, I'm going to dose tonight and see if it lowers the noise. I too feel the buzzing/ringing in my head and not so much my ear like previously. I hate everything about this affliction........................

Are you guys serious, I need to see who else it helps , I have had it for 16 months is it to late? Please reply! I also have heartsurgery will it have any side effects
@dgray I'm sorry your feel worse. Did it get worse because you changed the dose to evening only or did it get worse before that? It's probably just a temporary rebound. I get the feeling that if you start taking it, you can't make any abrupt changes. Did the buzzing in your head feeling come about only after the saffron use?
Second week long attempt with top quality saffron from www.saffrondirect.com in milk. Still seems to make T slightly worse if I'm honest. However I have noticed that it makes me smile more. Never taken Anti Depressant meds ( drug phobic...) so nothing to compare with but this stuff really gives you a lift. Smile while your Hissssssssing. I honestly think this would be a great Anti-depressant for some folks. Thanks folks 
Thank-you Cal18. It may just be coincidental but the head noise appeared after the saffron use. My tinnitus felt like it was only in my ear before. Last night I used the saffron and this morning isn't as bad.
Interesting , My T has always been brain T , Saffron stops that almost completely.
Had a relatively "bad" day yesterday , but back to feeling good with super low T.
Obviously the day is only just started , we'll see.
Normal T is a luxury compared to brain T , with brain T gone I would effectivelt feel "cured".

I mean no offense but RaZaH, you have responded to many supplements and interventions before too.
I think your tinnitus may be more mind-based, and these weird interventions have a strong placebo effect on you.
I know this is off-topic but I disagree on the whole brain thing. I talked to a researcher not too long ago and she said that there is much controversy about brain T and it's existence - not saying that we don't hear it. I too have minimal on and off ringing in one ear for several years and it barely bothered me. Then I got "brain" T. I now have a bilateral high pitched tea kettle hissing which sometimes turns more shrill on worse days, it's so much worse than my old ringing. I didn't even know this type of T existed. I agree with @RaZaH that if that went away, and I still had my old ringing right ear, I would be thrilled.
My theory on brain T is that it is a similar sound almost equally on both sides. Because of this, it seems like it's coming from the middle of the head or even behind head or neck. Think of it as surround sound. The hissing and buzzing tones have more of a tendency to do that. Once in a while I can hear it more on one side and notice immediately that it's not in the middle of my head or my brain.
The thought of brain T is scary to be honest which could mean it's being self generated in the auditory cortex. I'd rather still think of it as the sensitivity/overactivity of nerves somewhere along the auditory pathway sending a false signals to the auditory cortex, this seems more plausible (this is just a guess based on minimal research so please don't beat be up over this and feel free to challenge!).

Mind based ? What is that ?
Have you tried this ?
There is not a placebo effect , not for 2 weeks. With admittedly some ups and downs , no chance its placebo.
Brain T is for me almost like a headache , I can feel it , all the time , horrible , absolutely horrible in the mornings. Not a stress thing , I am not stressed at all.
@Amber
I would strongly suggest you test this and get back to me .
I know this is working , unless this some incredible coincidence ?
As for responding to different things , then its possible I might be interpreting small natural differences as a change , i think that is normal when trying things out and monitoring too much.
Having said that , nothing has come close to this , not trobalt , not anything.
There are more people in this thread that have had results .
For me , being ultra sensitive to drugs I am not surprised this is working so well for me.
Btw I waited two weks before even saying this out loud.
Again, hope it keeps working.
p.s I am also taking B1 and Lamberts Ginkgo , felt no difference from that , that I could tell, been taking that for maybe 2 months.

I have thought of that as well, but after thinking about it , I have had this brain T with my right ear completely quiet.
Its also a sensation , which goes away completely when I get the occasional normal ear T , even in both ears.
A huge relief actually , two completely different types of T.
