Tinnitus Cure – Top Ten List

On March 10, 2010, in Tinnitus Symptoms, by lisa

Where does one find a tinnitus cure that eliminates the annoying sounds in the ear?

There are many answers to this question, because every person responds to a different tinnitus cure, and some respond to multiple types.

1.  Ginkgo Biloba – It has been found that 240 mg of Gingko Biloba per day alleviates tinnitus in many people.  It does this by increasing the flow of blood to one of the cranial nerves that oversee the conversion of sound waves into sound.

2. Time – A perforated eardrum can cause tinnitus. However, the eardrum can heal itself over time.

3.  Surgery – If the tinnitus is caused by fused ear bones (otosclerosis), surgery can resolve it.  (Surgery is also necessary for some perforated eardrums.)

4.  Avoidance of certain medications – Tinnitus is known to be caused by aspirin, steroids, anti-seizure medications, painkillers, antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. If the onset of the tinnitus coincides with the start of a new medication, a doctor can suggest an alternative.

5.  Diet – Caffeine and nicotine may cause tinnitus. Therefore, cutting back on these ingredients from one’s diet may eliminate the problem.

6.   B12 Supplement – Intramuscular injections of this all-encompassing vitamin may cure the tinnitus.

7.   Zinc Supplement – Taking 100 mg of zinc daily has been shown to eliminate tinnitus in some people.

8.  Vitamin A Supplement – High doses of vitamin A can also remediate tinnitus. The recommended dosage is 50,000 IUs.

9.  Masking – This involves utilizing a noise generator that plays soft, soothing sounds, such as those of an ocean or rainfall. In effect, it distracts a person from the irritating noise of his/her tinnitus.

10.   Acupuncture – When acupuncture is properly performed, some people find relief from their tinnitus.

Ginkgo Biloba and Tinnitus

Studies have borne out Ginkgo Biloba for its ability to increase blood flow to the extremities and the brain, and help reduce tinnitus.  Chinese medicine has used the extract of the Ginkgo Biloba tree for over 5,000 years. This tree, also known as the Maidenhair tree, is capable of reaching 100 feet in height. The seeds are edible.  However, the extract of the fan-shaped leaves contains the health benefits.

In the fall, the leaves turn from green to yellow. During this time, the leaves are harvested and dried. A special facility grinds the leaves and mixes them with organic solvents to further enhance their fundamental qualities.

The natural ingredients of Ginkgo Biloba extract contain flavonoids, glycosides and ginkoglides. Together, these components have many beneficial effects, as supported by numerous studies.

Research studies on geriatric patients have found that Gingko Biloba helps reduce headaches, senility, depression, tinnitus, fatigue and poor circulation. It is theorized that Ginkgo Biloba helps increase blood flow, thereby reversing the effects of aging. Furthermore, studies have shown that this miracle plant  successfully prevents the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in those afflicted.

Ginkgo Biloba contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants. These help protect the membranes of red blood cells, extending their lives in the process. As mentioned previously, studies have borne out Ginkgo Biloba’s ability to increase blood flow to the extremities and the brain, and reduce tinnitus.

Our product, Tinnitus DX, contains Ginkgo Biloba.
