I have been suffering from tinnitus for 10 weeks now constant ringing . Onset was sudden, I m healthy and never had any medical issues. It affects both ears and at times it affect my sleep. I ve seen an ENT and we suspected that the root cause may have been viral. He told me that the next step would be to get an MRI to rule out acoustic neuroma. I don t have hearing loss or any balance issues. I m currently taking lipoflavinoids and was told by a friend to put drops of castor oil into my ears. What is your opinion on the castor oil and lipoflavinoids?
HI, In most cases, tinnitus isn’t harmful and will often improve over time. most cases a cause for tinnitus can't be found so the aim of treatment will be to help you manage the condition on a daily basis. Limit or avoid exposure to the noises you suspect are causing your tinnitus. If you cannot avoid loud noises, wear protective earplugs or earmuffs. Try to ignore the sound by directing your attention to other things. Practice relaxation techniques, such as biofeedback, meditation, or yoga. Stress and fatigue seem to make tinnitus worse. Quiet rooms can cause tinnitus to seem more distracting. Background noise may reduce the amount of noise you hear. Play music or white noise when you are trying to fall asleep or anytime you find yourself in a quiet place. Try using a fan, a humidifier, or a machine that makes soothing sounds such as ocean waves. Try the herbal supplement ginkgo biloba. Some studies suggest that it may help relieve tinnitus... DONT PUT ANY OIL...lipoflavinoids CAN BE TAKEN but results not assured.. regards...
