Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 , Thanks for the information! At this point, I'm willing to give anything a try! I've already eliminated salt and caffeine (with the exception of mochas...I can't eliminate them, now can I?) from my diet to no avail. My CI surgeon said there is no medical treatment for tinnitus, so I just might give the lemon bioflavanoids a try just to see if it makes any difference. Having said that, my tinnitus has improved greatly over the past several weeks. Wouldn't you know it? Just when I see my CI surgeon to discuss my tinnitus, that's when it calms down. LOL! That peppermint mocha sure sounds delicious! I think I'll have one myself! , care to join me?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 My surgeon recommended ginko biloba for tinnitus. I take it daily (whatever the smallest amount is), and you can buy it at drug stores. Remember chocolate has caffeine in it, so candy, or anything else with chocolate will have caffeine. I figure it's one of the food groups (along with restaurant, carry out and fast food), so eat it anyway.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 , Do you feel the gingko biloba has helped with your tinnitus? I have a friend, non hard of hearing (well now he is but he was not at the time he was struggling with tinnitus) and he took gingko I'm not sure how much or what brand, and he said it helped his tinnitus immensely. I've been thinking to try it myself. Deb --- M Jansen <nucleus24@...> wrote: > My surgeon recommended ginko biloba for tinnitus.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Good! Now I have two options! Hopefully the lemon bioflavanoids or the ginko biloba will work. If I notice *any* reduction in my tinnitus, I'll be happy! As for chocolate (with the exception of Reese's peanut butter cups -- I can't resist those!), I have to keep it out of my house. If I don't, it's gone in 24 hours. LOL!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Coffee is the worst offender when it comes to caffeine. Wait, no, Red Bull is THE worst. But then who is going to drink straight caffeine? LOL , I know you cannot handle chocolate. I remember.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Deb, For the amount of caffeine I consume, via candy, I should have roaring tinnitus all the time. The fact that I don't might well be due to taking ginko biloba. Since nobody seems sure what causes tinnitus or what cures it, and the evidence for ginko is anecdotal, I still figure it couldn't hurt to try in the smallest amount they have out there. What have you got to lose? The Original , Do you feel the gingko biloba has helped with your tinnitus? I have a friend, non hard of hearing (well now he is but he was not at the time he was struggling with tinnitus) and he took gingko I'm not sure how much or what brand, and he said it helped his tinnitus immensely.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi, All, I've " heard " that ginko biloba is also good for retaining memory. Lots of people are using " natural " products and herbs and get excellent results. Please, though, if you are on ANY perscription medications, check with your doctor before using. Just like mixing your perscription drugs, and some DON'T mix, one or more of your perscriptions may not allow you to use some of the homeopathic stuff in combination. Ok? Thanks! <smiles> ) Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
