Tinnitus Talk Support Forum

Yup. I've tried at least Ginkgo Biloba. No effect whatsoever. Double-blind, placebo controlled studies have shown little or no effect with most herbal preparations.

There are some vitamins and antioxidants that can be beneficial to take like for the rest of your life.

Magnesium for example is one that might protect hearing from additional damage.

N-A-C (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine) is another, but that one might have adverse effects especially at higher doses.

"Dihuang 地黄 (Rehmannia glutinosa) is a Chinese herb traditionally used for tinnitus and to protect against noise-induced hearing loss. Some evidence suggests it may induce GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor) or act as an antioxidant. It has not been rigorously tested."
