    I love how they come up with all these "natural" cures. Not once has my doctor ever reccomended that I try one for my tinnitus. I love how they have to advertise in newspapers, magazines and middle of the night infomercials. If any of this stuff actually worked, you would think the doctors would be pushing it...

    Doctors will not push herbal remedies because they get NO kickback from it. Big Pharma pays doctors to push the latest drug.

    Plus, if you cure it at home, you don't pay to see the doctor anymore.

    I take 50mg of BENADRYL (diphenhydramine) for mine.
    That's ONE caplet.

    Kinda "zonks" me for a couple hours after I take it, but effects wear off after that.

    It works for me.
    YMMV.

    I have seen every imaginable "home remedy" used.

    Not all, but every one "I" can imagine.

    Most are SNAKE OIL.

    I'd stick to what a M.D. tells you to do.
    (and not the one on the late night infomercial)

    I hope this cure does come true. I have it bad in my left ear and afraid I might even lose my hearing in the future. :biggrin_2553:

    yeah,

    Mine is from tens of thousands of rounds fired while being too stubborn to wear my hearing protection.

    Well the oher day i woke up with the loss of hearing in my left ear,not good.So at trip to ER to see if something was going on.Doc says looks fine no infection,go to a specialist today after 3 days,he said something went on in my inner ear to cause the sudden loss of hearing.NOW what ,here more meds,tests, and maybe just maybe i might get my hearing back,or at least partial.This does not sound promising,Does anyone know what the regs are with hearing loss,with dot physical.Imay be needing a hearing aid.the only brite side is when moms #####in i can't here her.lol
