Getting more Zinc stopped my faint high-pitched tinnitus tone.
I added 50 mg of Zinc with food, along with my usual multivitamin, 1000 mg of Vitamin C, and 3000 IU of Vitamin D3 with K2. I have been taking the multivitamin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D3 with K2 for years.
After about a week, the tone stopped. However, my stomach started to feel a bit off and slightly sore within days of this discovery. I ended up vomiting the food I had eaten, so I skipped meals that day and stopped taking Zinc just in case. The next day, my stomach was fine. A day later, the faint tinnitus tone returned.
I waited a few days to allow any potential excess Zinc to clear. Then I started taking Zinc again but reduced the dose to half a pill, which is 25 mg of Zinc. The next day, the faint tinnitus tone was gone again. I would say this pretty much confirms it, as the tone had been present for many years, only changing in volume from time to time.
My multivitamin contains 15 mg of Zinc, which was not enough, as I had been taking it for many years without noticing any change. Combining the 15 mg from the multivitamin with 50 mg from the additional supplement gave me 65 mg of Zinc per day, which was likely too much. So far, my stomach is doing fine after a few days on 15 mg plus 25 mg, totaling 40 mg of Zinc per day.
If you have tinnitus, you might consider trying 30 to 50 mg of Zinc per day to see if it helps. However, check with a medical professional first, especially if you have any health conditions or are taking other medications.
It is interesting because most tinnitus is believed to be caused not by a problem in the ear itself, but by disrupted signals, or a lack of signals, between the ear and the brain. Zinc is involved in supporting the function of our neural pathways.
You can think of it like using two different conducting metals placed in an acidic solution, even something as simple as a lemon. This setup will generate electron flow when the metals are connected to a voltmeter or similar device.
