Can NAC (N-Acetylcysteine) Be Used for Noise-Induced Tinnitus That Happened Less Than 3 Months Ago?

Does NAC only sometimes work immediately after noise induced hearing loss or tinnitus or can it be used months after? If so, what dosage per day and how long before I would "hear" results? Thanks guys for all your help.

 

NAC is generally taken as a preventative measure rather than something to correct what damage has already been done. In other words, let's say you have a dental appointment and you're concerned about noise exposure from the drill. You would take a double dose of NAC the day before and the day of the procedure. A lot of folks with tinnitus take NAC regularly just in case they might get exposed to loud noise. At least that's my understanding of it.

This forum has a very long thread on NAC, here. Probably every question you might have about NAC is answered on it.
