HELP for Tinnitus

I have been a tinnitus sufferer for several years in my right ear. I found that eliminating carbonated beverages and sugar helped. I have shoved everything I could find in my ear with no success. My volume of ringing would go from low to high without a reason and become terribly annoying.
My masseuse has it also and found Proseed Ear drops with grapefruit seed extract. Two applications of this on one day made the ringing go to very low and stay there since. She believes that it is caused by a fungus and GSE in very good for that.I still have some noise and will continue to use the stuff in the hope I can get rid of of it.
Google Proseed ear drops and you will get several online sellers.
GOOD LUCK!!

another remedy rumored to help the cause..

Bioflavonoids were first tested and used by scientists at a renowned Midwest medical center in 1961. They discovered that Lipoflavonoid with bioflavonoids helped improve circulation in the inner ear. Dr.'s recommend this product as a nutritional supplement to their patients with Meniere's Disease -- an ailment involving ringing in the ears, loss of hearing, and dizziness.

you can buy pills with this supplement.

Things that may help reduce tinnitus:

- avoid alcoholic beverages
- avoid caffiene
- don't take aspirin or products containing aspirin
- get sufficient sleep every night
- avoid loud noises. Earplugs are your friends!
- keep your ears free of earwax
- talk with your dentist about temporomandibular joint alignment. TMJ problems can cause or exacerbate tinnitus

This is a good crowd to sell "natural" products and "miracle" cures to! Hell they buy a metre of cable for 3K and believe just about anything you throw their way if they think that it improves reproduced sound! I have to laugh, reminds me of the old folk medicine for ear infections that called for a few drops of urine from a person of the other sex put in the ear of the sufferer! Oh, I can hear it now: well urine kills bacteria. How about prayer? At any rate, if the placebo effect rids you of tinnitus, why not?

i'm no expert but ASPIRIN exacerbates my tinnitis noticeably.
after years of colds/flu and a thousand doses of aspirin
(all this was before tylenol was marketed), i found out at the
age of 13 that i had a hearing loss above 10,000 hz or so.
so i won't go near aspirin, and i avoid NOISE. otoh, listening to a great rock band "dig in" is one of the high points of my music-going life (jethro tull, spirit, frank zappa, etc).
they're excused for obvious reasons...

PBB Doesn't sound like you suffer from tinnitus or you wouldn't be so sarcastic and maybe more understanding of how unconfortable it can be.
The placebo effect does not really exist but is just something dreamt up by doctors so they can explain anything out of the ordinary.
