Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus
Question: I have tinnitus and have for about 20 years. I am age 74 and in good health. I keep hearing about products like lipo flavonoid, and others, but feel as though nothing can help and nothing will work. Is there any hope for tinnitus sufferers. mine sounds like a teapot getting ready to whistle.
Brief Answer:
flavanoid will not help you at this age.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for your query.
It is really very pitying as you are a tinnitus sufferer from 20 yrs . appreciate the way you have dealt with the disease.
Yes lipoflavanoids are useful in treating tinnitus as they increase the micro circulation to the inner ear .
But it will help in acute cases .
It may not help you as you are a chronic sufferer from 20 yrs. Second at this age the degenerative changes and rigid atherosclerotic vessels may also contribute for its failure.
You may try taking it but may not help you much.
Hope my answers have helped you. Pleased to help you further. Thanks.
