Yes, I agree, if "DR." Oz pushes it, it's gotta be a scam.
Potential relief for tinnitus?
Just came across this article. While I don't suffer from this myself, I have read posts from others who do. Hopefully some good will come out of this discovery.

There is only one drug approved across Europe but not approved in the US that helps. It is Beta Histine. Tell your ENT and they can order it through a compounding pharmacy. It isn’t cheap but it works. It serves to dialate the blood vessels in the inner ear which in turn, helps to remove fluid. Stay on a low sodium diet. This is NOT medical advice. My wife the lawyer made me say that. |
Here are some useful tips for managing tinnitus. (No cures offered, sorry.) 1. Download the app "ReSound". I have tried it and find it offsets the effects of tinnitus well. Not a cure, but relieves the symptoms. 2. Moderate your intake of alcohol and caffeine. Seem like reasonable advice, especially given that as one ages, our ability to metabolize these substances does change. Both recommended by a specialist, but to be honest I haven’t been able to test either out. However, stress is a driver for tinnitus, and alcohol/caffeine consumption do contribute to stress. |
@dynacohum LOL There's no such thing as a free lunch, or TANSTAFL from Heinleins masterpiece "The Moon is a harsh mistress". Most people on "hear" have more audio gear but I will claim to be one of the top sufferers of tinnitus. As there no real understanding of its origins it's hard to find a cure. I got mine at twenty from not using hearing protection. One single event doomed my left ear forever (I am 60). Using a signal generator app I found mine is about 3000 hz. It is LOUD. People cannot believe I hear it as long as I am awake. Not in dreams which seems to common among people on those threads. It is worse than hearing loss imo. The tone masks anything lower in volume. I would not rather hear in that range than ALWAYS hear something. Sometimes it morphs into a eaten cassette or a million birds. I have no doubt it is bad for my brain. I could go to the said Moon and never know silence. Saves on cables ;) though always look UP Good listening |
