I don't want to be overly optimistic, because my tinnitus has "only" been gone for 6 days, but after almost five years it's an amazing experience. I've finally found some (I think) 'alternative' pills that work for me. Important note: my ears aren't damaged in any way (not sure if that's important, just mentioning it).
Background story: When I was 16 years old, I woke up one day with mild tinnitus. I'd only been to two concerts in my life (both were months ago), and multiple tests (all sorts of tests as well) confirmed that my hearing wasn't damaged at all. The opposite was true: I even heard much better than the average peer. "You hear as good as a dog," said the ear specialist. Good news, my family said, but the tinnitus didn't care. For four years I have had to deal with all kinds of tinnitus: different frequencies, different volumes, pulsating tinnitus, sudden deafness, acoustic perturbations, ... I had one ear problem after another (sometimes also a different one in my left and my right ear). I got my hearing checked every year, because those temporary problems gave me the feeling that my hearing changed, but the doctor had always the same results: still no damage.
The cure: A lot of doctors blame tinnitus not caused by hearing damage to stress. I've tried to avoid stress at all costs, even though I didn't believe that I was more often stressed than the people surrounding me. One week ago, I went to see another doctor who's known for his alternative research regarding intestines. I had mine tested before, but the doctor back then didn't do anything with the results. When I showed those results to this "new" doctor, he immediately said that my intestines were causing this so called "stress" in my brain. Even though I've never actually experienced digestive problems, my body is apparently struggling.
I started taking medicines to support my intestines, and it's been silent ever since (but again, it's only been 6 days, I'm going to keep everyone updated here).
- Cerinax (so called "psychobiotics", they improve the relationship between your intestines and your brain)
- MB Adapt (MB stands for Mood Balance, so it should knock out stress - it contains among other things magnesium and vitamine B6)
- LG-support (natural resistance, detox)
The company making the pills is called Decola. I was able to get them in the pharmacy (they had to order them), so they may not be that "alternative". Either way, they are completely natural (not that I care: anything that helps is good, but classical medicine has few solutions).
The doctor advised me to take all three of them, so I'm not sure if they're all necessary to stop the tinnitus. However, I went to this website quite a lot when I was freaked out about a sound that spiked my tinnitus, and reading other people's topics here have often calmed me down. I hope that I'm a lucky one and that this is the end of my journey.
I'll keep you all updated!
Two days ago, in the evening, I suddenly saw a lot of "floaters" (got that word from one of the Visual Snow images on Google) in the edges of my field of vision. It was temporary though, but the coincidence with your comment! I read some of the information on Google about imbalances in the brain, and I totally believe there could be a link with tinnitus.
