The volume of the ringing has gone down. The fluctuations still occur, but the peaks do not seem as loud as before. There have even been moments when the ringing was either gone or completely masked. At this point, the real victory is the temporary relief. I have had tinnitus for years, and I...

4 Month Update I’m still using a DMSO solution diluted with distilled water, 70 percent water and 30 percent DMSO. I haven’t really noticed any changes over the past month, but I’m still better off than I was before I started using DMSO.

Distilled water is available by the gallon in most grocery stores. I got a gallon from Jewel-Osco and also saw it at Meijer. If it is a pure cotton ball, it shouldn’t be a problem. I saw an old 60 Minutes segment from around 1979 to 1982 where a doctor used a large cotton batten to apply DMSO...

@delta784, it’s all in the thread, including a link to the study that used DMSO for tinnitus. Just read through the entire thread.

3 Month Update I have been using DMSO for three months now. For the past month, I’ve been using a 30% DMSO solution. It itches more, but not too badly. I’m still using a cotton ball to swab in and around the ear. The good news is that the ringing in my left ear is very low. At times, I think...

2 Month Update I still have ringing in both ears, but the volume has definitely decreased. The fluctuations are also less frequent. I think using 20% DMSO is probably too low, but I wanted to make sure I could tolerate the itching. It hasn’t been that bad, so the next batch will be at least...

Progress is slower than I would like, but I do think there has been some improvement. I had a setback about ten days ago when a loud alarm went off and caused the left ear to ring almost as loudly as the right. I think it is now more or less back to where I started. The ringing in both ears...

I started using DMSO for my tinnitus 10 days ago. I wrote a detailed description of what I am doing in the Support section of this site. I expect it will take a long time, as I have had tinnitus for many years.

@Dizzyhead888, I have had tinnitus since before 2007. It was mild and barely noticeable, and may have been only occasional. In August 2007, I was caught off guard by fireworks going off directly overhead at a ballpark. Since then, my right ear has been ringing constantly. The left ear started...

After I found out about DMSO and read a study on it, I became very interested. Dimethyl sulfoxide therapy in subjective tinnitus of unknown origin I read two books on DMSO and brought the study with me to discuss it with my doctor. Once I confirmed that my current medication would not be...

Thank you for the reply. I have been reading everything I can find about DMSO. I finally purchased DMSO—both 99.99% pure and a DMSO/Aloe 70/30 mix in a roll-on applicator. I talked to my doctor and chiropractor about it and have an appointment with the audiologist on Friday. I want to get a...

I believe I’ve had tinnitus since before 2007, but it just wasn’t as pronounced. In August 2007, I was caught off guard by fireworks being set off nearly overhead. That incident made the ringing in my right ear very noticeable. The left ear didn’t seem to be affected at the time. However, over...
