The Link Between the Liver and Tinnitus?

Anyone kno if there is link between the two? I've been told there might be, especiall with a sick liver (which I have) so curious to know if it's true or a myth...

 

Not sure about the liver, but I do know a girl that says she got T from kidney stones. Once the kidney stones were taken care of, her T resolved.

 

Tinnitus really is that crazy isn't it.

 

Yeah.. I wish mine came with a mute button!

 

As always, correlation does not equal causation. I honestly doubt that it is. The liver is tasked with breaking down fats and some toxins. I think a lot more people would have tinnitus than they already do if that is the case. Many things can cause your liver to be "overworked": being overweight, drinking too much, too much ibuprofen (which we know certain painkillers can cause tinnitus), hepatitis, etc.

 

Well, here is one thing I discovered online and there's a few more out there that say liver issues, among other things, can cause it:

http://www.nosesinus.com/Clinical-Services/noise-in-the-ear-tinnitus

"Conditions like anemia, diabetes, hypertension, abnormal lipid profile, high cholesterol level, kidney failure and liver problems can cause tinnitus by poisoning the inner ear with toxins and depriving it of a healthy blood supply"

I find this interesting and as soon as I had my liver issues (I'll be honest, Hepatitis) I started to get inner ear issues which eventually led into tinnitus. I'm on treatment for it so it will be interesting to see if it reduces or goes away as the virus diminishes. I've noticed some reductions some days the past week.

 

Chinese medicine and acupunture seem to think T and liver are connected if I remember correctly...

 

Lovely

 

No need to feel ashamed of a health issue here. We all clearly have some sort of health issue or we probably wouldn't be here!

I could possibly see the link. However, I would caution that if a person's auditory system is being affected by toxins in the blood, I imagine that other systems within the body are as well.

 

I have heard of the liver connection. Hearing loss as a cause alone sounds strange to me since not all people with hearing loss develop T.

 

Your toe is connected to your leg which connects to your hip and so on up to your head so that indeed your toe is joined to your ear..... And the liver is what rids your body of toxins so if it's not working properly your body is full of toxins. Toxins can cause T. So many possibles! Can we rule anything out completely?

 

Do I think it is link to the liver? No.

 

If you got bad liver, are you drinking, eating high fat, I don't either of these. What causes this crap?

 

The eating high fat has to be predicated on other things. Its a known, well debunked truth that high fat is really the issue in many health maladies; its carbs and inflammation. I mention this becuase fatty liver syndrome developed not from alcoholism, can be treated with anti-inflammatory diets, which ironically are higher in fat. Glyconeogenesis occurs in the liver, due to non-carbohydrate nutrition pathway, creating the environment in the liver for lipid storage. That is, eat a high protein diet, and you get a negative effect in the liver, just as if you ate carbs, resulting in insulin spikes and fat storage.

Eating high fat, with carbs n protein = not good. Eating high fat with a controlled intake of protein and carbs, is a healthy diet that is highliy anti-inflammatory; which i would say is a good thing. Modern old agae makadies such as altziemers, are fairly agreed on by cutting edge science as being inflammation based in most cases, and is classified as type-3 diabetes.

Being overweight with a diet that is not smart, has high fat, protein and carbs, will basically kill you. The irony is the fat will most likely reverse that whole process, because the original hypothesis that saturated fat was bad was decreed by a failing moronic scientist who did not know what the void was he found himself in with respect to values and ethics - he fabricated data to prove an hypothesis, rather than create an hypothesis from legit data. Its the biggest life of the modern era.

The guy on the left - Ancel Keys, is the guy who failed the ethics test: https://healthimpactnews.com/2014/time-magazine-we-were-wrong-about-saturated-fats/

All that to say, dont cast fat out...its a pathway to a reduction in inflammation, WHICH could be helpful for some T comrades...

No offense intended. Its a great discussion.

Metta,

LOL I was about to respond to TS until I realized this thread was three years old.
