Magnesium for Relief of Tinnitus Research

Magnesium working for me too !

 

I might have posted aout this before but I went for 5 sessions of Magnesium (intravenously) 1 times per week for 5 weeks. It's kind of weird, you get very very warm all over , extremely fatiqued for about 15 minutes and half blind for about 5 mins. Other than that , no effect on my T.

 

I started taking magnesium last year and I'm not sure whether it was placebo but it seemed to have a positive effect for me. This year I have decided to take a more scientific approach to finding some relief and will start a 2 month magnesium citrate course!

Hoping it takes at least some of the edge off, even if it is placebo!!

 

Today I bought 430 mg Magnezium oxide (90 pills package) and i take 2 of them, one around 2pm and one now. Yes, i know, its a lot. Maybe its only placebo effect, but i feel better. T is the same as before, but I feel calmer and less stressed. Will see, if magnesium really improves my T in 2-3 months.

 

You might be better off with another source because Magnesium Oxide has lower bioavailability than other forms, such as Magnesium Citrate (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2407766).

Today I had ringing in the ears, but my new look on this T. matter with ignoring it is helping a lot, and I do believe that the magnesium is taking the edge off of it, so I will continue the magnesium. I believe that I was deficieant in it.
I have made progress even though it didn't miraculously heal me. God willing, I will be healed someday.
I am learning to have a better attidude about it, and to learn to go on with my life, after reading a success story someone posted.

 

Thanks Karen, I also had mild tinnitus before 2010, and then it suddenly got worse in 2010. You and I have a lot in common, I'm really paying attention to what your posting, because I know it will help me. Thank you, and God bless you!

 

You aren't taking 430mg, your body can only absorb a bit over 100mg per dose and everything else goes down the drain. You should be taking 3 times a day to actually reach even that 400mg.

 

Challenge accepted

 

does anyone know the recommended dose? Would a person's size change the dose? Can you get magnesium poisoning? My ear have been ringing since August 1987.

 

5000 mg may be lethal dose of magnesium.

 

500mg, not 5000mg. My doctor said that whatever the body doesn't need goes out in your urine.

 

I see a lot of people on this forum take magnesium. Does it matter what form it is, or when you take it? How long before you notice results? I've been taking Magnesium Carbonate (powder form dissolved in water) before I go to bed, but haven't noticed any difference in my tinnitus yet.
Thanks for any info.

 

Thanks! I appreciate it.

 

Hello there... First post. Been reading here for awhile. Registered. Kept reading for awhile. Learned a lot. Grateful to all of you.

Wanted to add another anecdotal success story for magnesium supplements.

In part because of what I'd read here, I took magnesium twice day for a month. At the end of the month, I thought to myself, "Well, what a disappointment - I guess that doesn't work for me." Stopped taking the magnesium.

Within a few days, I was, like, "OMG IT'S SO LOUD! And what is up with the clicking, too?!!"

So for me, the relief was so gradual that I didn't notice it. And also it was not complete. But I realize now that there was definitely some relief. The volume/tone of the ringing tinnitus was lowered to the degree that - while I noticed it - it wasn't constantly demanding my attention. And the occasional sort-of clicking noise that sometimes gives me a physical sensation on top of the sound was gone while taking the supplement.

Obviously, I'm starting to supplement again. This time I will not expect results overnight and will have greater appreciation for subtle, long-term improvements.

Thanks again to everyone here. I hope to continue to learn from all of you.

 

@TracyB;

I am happy to hear the magnesium supplements give you some degree of relief. What form are you taking and at what daily dose?

-Golly

 

Help guys! I'm totally confused ... What'd the best TYPE and DOSE to use?

 

based on output on this thread, magnesium chloride tablet seems quite effective for some members, and magnesium oxide with poor absorption rate.

 

Thanks - there are about 15 brands if magnesium tablets at my local chemist and I'm totally overwhelmed!

 

@Amelia;

I take Vitamin Shoppe's Magnesium Citrate. It comes in 200mg pills, so I have one in the morning and one at night for a total of 400mg daily. Not sure it does anything for my tinnitus, but I take it in conjunction with Calcium and D3 to manage bone density issues.

Note that you can obtain Magnesium in a variety of forms. I understand that Magnesium Oxide is the cheapest and least easily absorbed by the body. Magnesium Citrate (what I take) is supposed to have better absorption properties.

I would think that the fact that I got intravenous Magnesium , which is a pretty hardcore delivery system and had no change should be quite telling about the effectiveness of Magnesium.

 

Hello Karen, Reading your blog, I have an underactive thyroid. not sure if this had something to do with it, my thyroid went up high and then low , dctor changed med . a few times and then my t started 1 month ago.. I also feel dizzy and lightheaded ..do you have any of this ..let me know , mch appreciated

 

Hello guys,
I'm new to this web.Yes I heard about 3 days ago from my friend he told me that magnesium is the key to get better for tinnitus, I want to know what brand or kind for me to had this magnesium in a safer way, I just scared it makes t worse..I got my t because of antibiotic and I'm just 23 yrs old I need a way to makes me focus to my life.I hope magnesium can change it for better life.

 

@Savin Abram Magnesium can't hurt, but if your tinnitus is caused by ototoxicity, you'll better want to take NAC supplement, at least 600 day, better if you do 1200mg. It has been used toprotect ears from chemo drugs and others. If you T is recent, what you need is anything that can clear oxidative substances of your ears. Maybe it won't help depending on how many weeks have passed since the original damage, but it could help, there's still chances of recovery. Mega doses of vitamin C could be useful too, always in adittion to the NAC.

There's a thread for the NAC here that link to cases where it has helped, sometimes even after a long time of having tinnitus.

 

I think I got my own from taking antibiotic, my doc. said no, but he trying to cover himself..all the best to you hang in there.
