Tinnitus

Tinnitus, ringing in the ears, is not a disease, but is a sensation of sound which is not actually present in the external environment in one ear, both ears. It can be heard as ringing, buzzing, roaring, hissing, whistling, throbbing or booming. It can manifest as a single sound or a number of different sounds and can develop either gradually or suddenly. The principal underlying cause of Tinnitus is irritated nerve endings in the Inner Ear or noise-induced hearing loss.

 Most people experience Tinnitus at some stage of their life.

 17% to 30% of the population experience persistent Tinnitus.

 Tinnitus is severe for approximately 2% of the population.

 Tinnitus severely disturbs the ability to function properly in 0.5% to 1.0% of the population.

Hormones

 Melatonin may reduce the severity of Tinnitus in some Tinnitus patients and reduces the likelihood of Tinnitus interfering with Sleep.  ^[1]

Minerals

 Tinnitus can possibly be caused as a result of Manganese deficiency, anecdotal reporting.

 Zinc 600 mg of Zinc Sulfate per day may alleviate some cases of Tinnitus.  ^[2]

Quinones

 Coenzyme Q10 deficiency may be an underlying cause of Tinnitus.  ^[3]

Smart Drugs

 The synthetic Amino Acid - Ethylene-Diamine-Tetra-Acetate (EDTA) - is used in Chelation Therapy to bond to and chelate (remove) many Toxic Heavy Metals from the body of chronic Tinnitus patients.

 Hydergine (10 - 15 mg per day) may alleviate Tinnitus.  ^[4]
