Treating Tinnitus?

Try these vitamins….

Lipoflavonoid Plus

I suffered this for a short time..I took a steady dose of these and I no longer have this problem. I was also suffering from a bad sinus problem and I think both were related..very stubborn and it takes a long time to rid your body of these problems..

Mine seems a little bit better since I quit alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods.
I doubt it will ever go away.
Earplugs are a must, and I mostly play acoustic bass these days.

Since I was a kid I've had this ringing. Yet I can hear the slightest of noise when it's otherwise quiet.

Bandmates hate it when I hear what they're incorrectly playing (when covering any song).

I take Revlimid to treat multiple myeloma. This seems to make the ringing more intense.

I have been head phoning it and have been in bands loud & reasonable since the late '70's yet can still hear quite well.

Just counting my blessings & stuffing protection in my ears at concerts that are too damn loud.

+1 on prior USAF service,

And it's not your bass that will get you, it's standing next to those damn cymbals.

+2 on USAF

Not just the cymbals, rim shots are very loud. I've checked out band with a dab meter and the rim shots are nearly always at or above 129dB. That's gonna do some damage.

Another factor is taking aspirin too often.

So far as treatment goes, I haven't found any help in past couple of decades I've had tinnitus. I guess, with time, you get used to it. I really don't pay too much attention to it anymore, course, I'll be 72 shortly. I reckon I can tolerate most anything for as long as I've got to.
