Please, what is the cure for tinnitus? Can it be forever controlled?

Tinnitus is just a symptom. The cure, when there is one, depends on the cause.

I don't think there is a cure. I have suffered from it ever since I was a teenager from shooting
rats in the dump without ear protection. Once those little hairs in your ear are broken, they don't
repair themselves.

There are cures and near-perfect treatments for only a few unusual kinds of tinnitus. You can
discuss your situation and treatments at alt.support.tinnitus

Are you taking a cholesterol lowering medication in the STATINS class? Statins can cause tinnitus.
Read the side effect under "special senses" below, if you are taking lipitor, or any statin. This
does not guarantee that is the cause in you, but it is something to consider. Many medications can
cause tinnitus. Check the side effects list for every drug you are taking at www.rxlist.com. Check
also for the side effects of every supplement you are taking. Also ask your doctor if a short course
of decongestantd would help you. But with your other health problems (shown on a search on your
other posts) you should not do this without your doctor's approval. If your tinnitus is complicated
by congestion due to mechanical problems in your sinuses, eustachian tube or ear, or by allergies,
this may be your solution. For all actions, check with a physician. MFG

I have tinnitus and it does not go away without medicine. And the medicine is meant to enrich my
kidney. The latter is a herbalist philosophy which most doctors trained in western medical science
either disagree or have no opinion. I am fortunate to be in a position where I could consult both
kinds of doctors and pick their brains.

Thank you for the reply. I am taking Zestril which I took many years ago with only the side effect
of a hindered erection. Aside from that, it is OK.

The less drug you take, the better off you are. But we do need drugs for many illnesses.

MODERNATION IS THE KEY! HAVE A LIGHT DRINK!

But mine is currently under control. It is under control by taking medication twice a day. I wonder
if there is something to do with it.

I take 10mg of Zestril and One tablet of Lodoz in the morning and then at around 2pm, i take another
25 mg of a short-lived betalog. By two o'clock in the morning, the ringing wakes me up. I wonder if
this has something to do with the expiration of the short-lived betalog. However, my blood pressure
at 5pm or 3 hours after taking the second pill, the reading is 125/75. Even the doctor suggests me
to drop the second pill or that 25 mg betalog. But without that, my blood pressure could reach as
high as 160/100 by 3pm. The doctor says it is my 'psychological dependence'. I am trying to trim my
second medication bit by bit and see how it goes.

Yes, enrich. According to the herbalist philosophy, a weak kidney is what gives rise to tinnitus.

Perhaps...but the dilemma does not end right there. My herbalist doctor has a way to stop the
ringing in my brain 'right away' but in doing so elevating my blood pressure. Those herbs that are
meant to stop tinnitus increase the manufacturing of hormone, making a man want

is quite acceptable for people with low blood pressuure. Thus I am wondering if some people were
born with high blood pressure for reasons that we with our limited knowledge of our body don't
really understand.

If you know of any pills in the west that could increase the manufacture of hormone without raising
your blood pressure, please let me know. There are natural ways, of course. Try a can of dark
guinnese stout everyday and you will notice the difference. The whole herbalist philosophy is this:
if the kidney could be nourished well, the other parts of the body would follow suit to be well.

I am having a cough lately and therefore cannot drink cool beer. But the moment when this is over, I
will have a can of dark guiennese stout daily. Currently, i am drinking a wine that helps nourish
the kidney. But that is a slow process.

By the way, the Chinese herbalist believe tinnitus is curable the moment when your kidney is brought
back to its normal level. The buzzing in your brain or ear represents a signal to you to do
something about your body. And the starting point in repairing your body is the kidney.

I have found a definite correlation with marked changes in weather patterns, perhaps in barometric
pressure. I can litterly be sitting in a room and suddenly feel "something" in my head - something I
guess I would have to call a "pressure change" and then the ringing starts. Often it will go on for
a day or two, the weather will change again, and the ringing will radically subside - occasionally
even go away.

I've just recently gotten proper medical attention for HBP and have started on Lasix. This seems to
be reducing the frequency with which I suffer from Tinnitus although I'm not sure why.

I do know that occasionally, when I'm very upset, my ears will start ringing like crazy (and I
assume my blood pressure also rises). But the correlation is unreliable and probably wouldn't be
statistically significant; but do we always "know" when we're upset?

Any thoughts?

I think the relationship may be more CAUSAL than CORRELATIONAL. I read somewhere that the depletion
of vitamin B1 could lead to the mal-functioning of our central nervous system. Perhaps if you could
take some vitamin B1 under a doctor's advice, you could find this out for yourself.

How is your sleep? Still, I would encourage you to try vitamin B1 under a doctor's supervision.
Whether or not you are mad or fearful, the central nervous system stands to lose.
