My Husband went to the doctor for just this problem today. They gave him a detailed hearing test and found he is nearly deaf in one ear and has poor hearing in the other. All war related.
This is an annoying problem, for people. The doctor gave no cause, it’s like your eyes beginning to fail. It’s just a part of the body breaking down from life in general. There is some medicine on the market. I’ve been meaning to buy it, I wish I could tell you if the medicine worked.
But, I can tell you that this is a problem that brings so much discomfort. It must nearly drive you insane at times. Good Luck and Good Health. I would see a hearing specialist.
Anyone have any suggestions for a Tinnitus sufferer. Had it for years but it is getting worse.?
Thanks very much for any suggestions.
Unfortunately conventional medications DO NOT have a solution for this problem as yet. There is only some symptomatic relief possible and that too is limited and succesful in only a few cases. Also, they usually come with their bothersome side effects such as dry mouth, blurred vision, and constipation often discourage use.
Valium, Xanax and Klonopin are benzodiazepine drugs that many doctors prescribe for tinnitus. They are addicting to varying degrees and cannot be used continuously for a long period of time. They are helpful in reducing Tinnitus Symptoms and aid in sleeping. Valium is the most addicting of these and is not used often for this reason. Xanax is very popular and is prescribed often for tinnitus. However, the ATA report on medications that cause tinnitus lists Xanax as causing it in 6.6% of cases.
Natural and holistic Tinnitus Remedies can be effective in assisting with the relief of symptoms, as well as addressing the individual’s overall health and well-being.
Herbal remedies can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.
Some of the most common herbs used are
* Ginkgo biloba is effective in supporting the functioning of the circulatory system and improving common conditions associated with the normal aging process. Ginkgo is an excellent tonic for the brain and many people swear by this natural ingredient. * Rosemary is often used to support health and strength in blood vessels and is also an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary also acts as an invigorating herb, promoting balanced mood, * Avena sativa is made from the wild oat plant and is a well known restorative and nerve tonic.
