      I read that Hitler had tinnitus during WW2 and that his doctor put leeches on his ear which helped his tinnitus.

      I also found a study on leeches and tinnitus:

      How is a leech sucking blood going to regenerate hearing cells? or deal with hyperactivity in the audiotory brain?

      Lot's of bullshit on the internet was made up about Hitler.

      Possibly from problems with blood flow
      It's a scam.
      I see it prescribed a lot in Russia. When other "treatments" don't work.
      Never helps anybody.

      Hitler probably suffered from tinnitus as a result from WW1 and later the assassination attempt with a bomb in WW2.

      Hitler was a drug addict, and suffered from insomnia but I do not believe leeches are very useful for tinnitus. Medieval nonsense.
