ALL my doctors in China, including the tradtional herbalists, have
held onto the view that my kind of tinnitus comes from poor blood
circulation in the brain. Against this background, they have gone
ahead to have do the following for me:
(1)Examine the use of diurectics and see how it is related to oxygen supply to the brain vs. other
forms of high blood pressure medication such as calcium channel blocker. My tinnitus came to me a
few months ago when i was changing my blood pressure medicine regimen from calcium channel
blocker to a combination which includes diurects and ACE inhibitor. I was off diurectis and back
to calcium channel blocker last Wednesday. As of today, the ringing is 80-90% gone! I cross my
fingers that it will keep up. Diurectics thickens the blood, and does not dilate vessels the way
calcium channel blocker does, according to my ENT doctor. Well, he is the expert.
(2)Give me needle injection of solutions that enhances blood circulation.
(3)Do CT examination and try to find out if there is any abnormal bone growth in the neck that might
have hindered blood supply to the head.
(4)Examine the secretion of saliva and see if the kidney is functioning properly.
All of the above is meant to improve the problem of poor blood circulation that they believe is what
has produced my tinnitus.
On the other hand, the views expressed so far in ALT. are hardly related to blood circulation as
*one of the possible causes* of tinnitus. Some of the participant doctors have even refused to
look into that direction. And some even suggest that hydrochloridthiazide is used to treat
tinniuts patients.
Why is there such a big difference in views? Were they trained differently? By the way, I have
noticed anyone, except Ring Ear, who has mentioned the cause of his tinnitus.
