I suggest Monarda. A plant. It can clear ear congestion.
> The plant also seems to tone the brain circulation, which makes it interesting for cognitive or tinnitus problems due to poor circulation.

It seems to work similarly to Ginkgo Biloba for tinnitus.
It's impossible to cure. The 'ringing' sound people hear isn't actually a sound. It is how the brain processes signals produced by damaged Stereocilia. If the 'ringing' is constant it means the cilia are permanently damaged. While it would, in theory, be possible to use surgery on the ear and some sort of lazer to completely remove all damaged cilia to avoid them outputting a damaged signal, this procedure would be i…
It sounds like what we need is nanobots to do this surgery.
Yes, mine is not solved in theory but is solved in practice. The ringing is still there if I listen for it, but it’s effectively unnoticeable and I’m now unbothered by it. The solution that worked for my was basically “acceptance and commitment therapy” - I think I learned it from a book written by a Dr Russell or something like that. Would recommend, am very glad I did it. It seems kind of kooky though, it’s almost…
One thing I tried as I was still anxious about the matter that I had damaged my hearing permanently, was sitting in a pressurized chamber with a lot of oxygen. Ridiculously expensive and did basically nothing. Possibly if you go immediately after it happens it might help but I'm doubtful of its benefits (the company was making a buck though as single-person business).
I just remember this lady who had hit a garbage can's lid too hard which had made her ears ring. How unlucky. She was quite stressed about it as well.
No idea if the long-term quiet environment played a role, but I also occasionally would supplement with sublingual b12[0] methylcobalamin supplements.
It's impossible to say what's responsible, there's far too many variables. Maybe just time passing since quitting riding motorcycles is all that was needed.

I'm a physician with lifelong bilateral tinnitus. Multiple pitches, quite loud, and acutely worse on the right side for the last 1.5 years or so (with some slight hearing loss). I've spent a lot of time on PubMed, but so far I've not found anything that helps mine, even partially or temporarily. I've consulted with close friends that have significant expertise is relevant fields, which has not been fruitful. Thankful…

I'd recommend anyone suffering play around with the generators on myNoise. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they kept me going when I was first adjusting to the ringing.
I'll use this thread as an opportunity to say this: if you ever have sudden hearing loss in one or both ears, seek immediate medical attention. Demand a proper consultation and don't take "give it a few weeks" as an answer from a GP. Sudden hearing loss can be reversed with prompt steroid injections but if it's left then it will become permanent. My mother woke up one day with no hearing in one ear. Unfortunately, by…
I have had very mild tinnitus my entire life - since as early as I can remember in childhood. It's never been particularly bothersome but in a quiet room I can clearly hear it. However, when I received the second dose of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine in 2021, within a day I had a substantial increase in tinnitus in both ears, particularly my right. I also had a persistent sensation of "fullness" in my right ear. I went to…
Did you have flu symptoms after the vaccine? How often do you usually get ill?
I’d say I get a bad cold once or twice a year and rarely experience anything more severe than that.
I suggest Monarda. A plant. It can clear ear congestion.
Will I get the same effect drinking Earl Grey tea?

Not the same user, but I've found the most relief from pink noise like rain or a waterfall played through decent speakers. I find it to be easier on the ears and less distracting than white noise. I'd recommend anyone suffering play around with the generators on myNoise. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they kept me going when I was first adjusting to the ringing. https://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/rainNoiseGener…
