Hello, I'm new to this forum and this issue. I am in my late 40s, female and recently developed tinnitus a little under a year ago. Like many say, it has been aggravating and had resigned myself to the possibility that I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. I have tried many supplements to lesson both a streaming, non-stop ring that will move from one ear to the other or settle in both. I also have the annoying tinny sound (wonder if this is where the name came from), like something is banging on tin, making a high pitched noise that is constant with little breaks in between. It's hard to explain but there it is. Anyway, the supplements were not working - I won't bother to name. Lucky for me, I think I figured out what happened, why it came on so suddenly and how it has stopped.
Here is the path. I had been taking many vitamins and sups for years for general good health. In particular, I also took a few to keep my monthly cycle/hormones smoothed out - stay with me fellas because I think this could matter to you too. Over the last year, I switched my home office from downstairs to upstairs where I would then forget to take my supplements on time and some of them altogether.
I wondered if anything had changed in my health as a result of not taking them all and since I didn't notice any change other than the tinnitus, I decided to move some of my online subscriptions from AMAZON out some to test if I really needed them all.
Well, there was one I forgot to cancel that showed up on my doorstep so it prompted me to start taking it again - it was expensive so I though why not. Let's get back on it and see if I notice any difference.
Well, I also could not stand leaving the TV on any more while I slept so I turned it off and was shocked that I had no ringing in my ears - none. I thought it must be a fluke and that surly it would come back.
So after a few nights of peace, I tried to think about what had changed in the last few days/weeks - diet had not changed, exercise had not changed - and then realized that I had begun taking Primrose Oil again. The ladies may know it is great for cramping/relaxation, well being. I did some research online about primrose oil and it appears to lower blood pressure so if you are on any blood pressure/blood thinning meds, good to test w/your doc.
Otherwise, I would give it a try. I buy a high quality brand on Amazon - see below. It's not cheap but it has been miraculous for me and I wanted to get this out on the forum in case it helps anyone. it took a couple weeks most likely to get into my system but now it's like I never had it. Good luck all.
