Tinnitus

....and another thing

 

Can you stop the ringing in your ears with a pill?

 

An HSI member named Richard – who has the ear-ringing condition known

as tinnitus – writes with a question about something he saw on

television.

 

" The head man of the medical profession said that the government

scientists found a cure for this ringing in the ear and it could be as

simple as a pill. Has anybody heard of this and if so what web site can

one go to? I've tried everything I can think of with no luck. "

 

I doubt if government scientists have found a tinnitus " cure " –

treatments tend to be hit-or-miss because the origin of tinnitus varies

from patient to patient and is often a mystery.

 

This problem was addressed by HSI Members Alert editor Alicia Potee in

the June 2007 issue. In her article, Alicia featured the benefits of

VitaEar, a nutritional formula developed by BioLogic Health Solutions of

Australia. Knowing that a tinnitus treatment would need to be

comprehensive, BioLogic researchers collected 10 vitamins and four

minerals that are essential for the health of your inner ear.

 

Here's an excerpt from Alicia's article.

" An arsenal of B-vitamins makes up the lion's share of the ingredient

list in VitaEar's formula, including a complex of B6, B12, thiamine,

niacin, folic acid, and pantothenic acid. Research conducted in the last

five years suggests that roughly a quarter of subjects who report

ringing in their ears are severely deficient in both thiamine (vitamin

B1) and B12.

 

" This research confirms clinical findings that date even further back,

which suggest a direct link between B-vitamin therapy and overall

neurological (and consequently, auditory) health. In fact, without

adequate intake of this class of vitamins, the delicate nerves in your

ears simply can't get what they need for optimal function.

 

" But that's not the only type of deficiency that could drastically

affect the clarity of your hearing. A diet poor in iron can also

contribute to lowered oxygen flow to your head and brain – meaning

that it could make the buzzing in your ears worse. That's why iron is

also included in VitaEar-along with three other minerals: magnesium,

manganese, and zinc.

 

" Clinical studies have shown that supplementing with magnesium could

actually protect your inner ear from noise-related damage that can lead

to both reduced hearing and persistent ringing. Meanwhile, zinc and

manganese offer antioxidant support that helps to minimize free radical

damage to your ears' important signaling cells. "
