There are millions of people who suffer from tinnitus. It's an annoying ringing in the ears that never seems to dissipate. Sufferers have trouble hearing, sleeping and working with the constant ringing in the ears.
The cause can be varied from damage to the ear drums to certain medications. It could also be a symptom of another issue like allergies or high blood pressure. Sufferers will often see their doctor who will make sure that the cause of tinnitus isn't a medical problem.
Once the doctor has ruled out problems like allergies or medications as the cause, sufferers are still left with the constant ringing which can make life extremely difficult. There are some treatments that have provided relief to tinnitus sufferers with extended use. In some cases, sufferers found that tinnitus gone after 1 year.
Vitamins and Supplements
Melatonin
In a study conducted by the Ohio State University Eye and Ear Institute, they found that people who were given melatonin for 30 days, compared to a group that receive a placebo, saw a reduction in their tinnitus symptoms. They were able to sleep better as a result. Some saw the symptoms of tinnitus gone after 1 year.
B12
Doctors have found the nearly 50 percent of those who suffer from tinnitus are lacking in sufficient amounts of B12 in their diets. When people with low B12 levels increase their intake, it can result in a complete elimination of the ringing in the ears.
Those with B12 deficiencies can have the following symptoms besides the tinnitus. They might find themselves mentally foggy, have problems with their memory, mood swings as well as fatigue and lack of motivation. It can be hard to discern the causes of these symptoms since tinnitus sufferers often experience sleep deprivation, which results in the same symptoms.
Zinc
A zinc deficiency can cause tinnitus. A supplement with up to 30 mg per day can help eliminate this deficiency and relieve ringing in the ears. It could take some time, but most saw tinnitus gone after 1 year with treatment.
Magnesium
In some cases, a vitamin deficiency isn't the cause. Tinnitus can be a symptom that resulted from trauma to the ear due to prolonged loud noises or hobbies like scuba diving. Studies have shown that magnesium can help with those who suffer from trauma. It should be increased to 250 mg three times per day to be effective.
These natural ways to relieve tinnitus symptoms should still be discussed with your physician. He or she will recommend a supplement that will work to relieve tinnitus. It's an incredibly annoying and disruptive medical concern that requires treatment.
